Still Love the Big Easy!!
Linda_G, Apr 2024
We had three different guides. One stayed downstairs & it was hard to understand him. THe second one stStillayed upstairs & she was very good. The third one had sound system problems. His voice went in & out & the people who sat in the front couldn't hear anything.
It was entertaining to...
Regan_H, Apr 2024
It was entertaining to have someone who was knowledgeable of each artifact, and was able to give the tourists insight of what we viewing. Not only did he give insight , but he was very upbeat and enthusiastic with his speak that he portrayed.
We love No Lines Linda <3
Erin_C, Apr 2024
Fav part was “No Lines Linda” - best tour guide ever. She made the bus so fun and interesting with her partner Sean driving, they truly enjoy their jobs and helping people learn about the city. Colin was also amazing for the garden district walking tour. He made learning about the architecture so interesting and cool.
Zero communication and stops missing
Shanna_H, Apr 2024
Getting on the bus and then being told the stops we had planned to get off at were not being stopped at due to construction…both days. So we missed the tour and did more walking than planned since the bus company let us down and then wouldn't respond to emails.
Hopin hop off bus tour new Orleans
SOAMINDER_S, Mar 2024
Highly recommended if you are in new Orleans to visit as tourist excellent service and bus crew.....
Best decision ever!
Lori_S, Mar 2024
Linda and Shawn (guide and driver) were excellent - our faves! The hop on hop off bus is the perfect way to see the city and to get around more simply!
Great way to get around town & Walking tour
Cindy_S, Mar 2024
We were confused at the first stop on how it all worked. But as we were riding around we listened & figured it out. It’s a very nice way to move around town & get some education while you are doing it. One thing to note, do not stand up or move around while the bus is in motion, especially if you are on the upper level out in the open area. There are low lying branches & you will get hit in the head or face. The host speakers were awesome, very informative. We had 2 different ones & you hear something different each time. We also did the Walking Tour of the Garden District. That tour guide (Colin Tyler) was equally amazing. He had a lot of facts & information about a lot of the houses. Would definitely recommend both the HOHO & tour.
Always reliable !
Giselle_P, Mar 2024
Great knowledgeable tour guides! Everything was on time and efficient as in every other hop on hop off experience!
No bus even stopped at our stop.
David_H, Mar 2024
It was pouring rain. We waited at stop #7, and watched 5 buses pass by without stopping. We called the customer service phone number, no answer. But a promise to leave our phone number and someone would return our call. No one ever called, all the rest of the day. After about 40 minutes of waiting, we gave up. Never could take the tour. Now I will have to haggle to get a refund.
Great experience for those that have never seen the city
Sam_A, Feb 2024
Seeing all parts of the city. Learning some of the history of new orleans. The mosoleums were eerie. The garden district was interesting.
Would do it again!
Steven_H, Feb 2024
Busses ran on time, the tour guides did a great job. Most of all, they got us everywhere we wanted to go. Sat up top and the views were great. Would do it again!
Ticket problem through aviator.
Margo_M, Feb 2024
The Hop On Hop Off ride was enjoyable. However, I couldn’t retrieve my ticket to board the second day of my two day tour. It took an hour to be able to board. They said the problem was with Viator.
Limited seating options in winter - would not recommended for Seniors
Debra_G, Jan 2024
Not conducive to Seniors. There is limited seating on bottom of bus forcing you to sit above, climb steep stairs, be exposed to extreme cold in winter. There are 5 seats below reserved for disabled passengers which a good thing but maybe only 10 or 12 other seats available. Probably best to just use city bus and streetcars to get around instead and use materials provided by New Orleans visitor center.
Great experience!!!
Robin_S, Jan 2024
We enjoyed all the sites that we had a chance to visit. It made getting around New Orleans easy and fun.
Great Trip
belinda, Aug 2023
The trip was excellent. Dennis did a great job telling stories and answering questions on the way. He is a great driver and very polite. Anybody and Everybody should visit that Plantation. There is so much to know about there. From the drive there , inside and back to the hotel was a full day of education
Good tour, just not the one I booked lol!
Bethany_C, May 2023
I loved the tour around Jackson Square, Tamara was a great guide! However, the APP did not work/was completely inaccurate so I was unable to complete the actual tour I had registered for as there was not a timely bus (as I was counting on the APP they all told me to get and follow, I had set a timer on phone, wandered away and missed two busses)...otherwise, the open air bus was a good option, a nice way to experience and learn about the city...I hope to complete the garden tour next trip if there is one?! Also, when I went to the walk in center they told me not to use the app...and shrugged it off without concern about me missing out on anything...so this is a great option perhaps for those having the whole day to go with the flow, but if you planned out just enough time, not so much!
Lovely experience
Karen_C, May 2023
Red line has 19 stops and it's a real good ride with interesting NOLA spots! I recommend you do one full tour first and then stop on your points of interest.
Mother-daughters fun weekend in NOLA
Rosa_T, May 2023
Our tour was super fun, we learned so much about New Orleans. The garden district tour was excellent! It was a great experience!
Don’t use viator to book
Darci_L, Feb 2023
Don’t use VIATOR. Their system allows you to buy tickets for days that the roads are closed. Then trying to contact support is impossible. Then when you do. They don’t make it right. We waited for hour at a stop that no bus was ever coming. Then walked for an hour to the main tour office which had a sign not running today. Viator has lost all future business. The eventual tour was amazing.
Great attractions. ...
Ronni_P, Jan 2023
Great attractions. Guides were funny and informative. Loved the garden district walking tour. Lots to see
