None due to the 1st bus breaking down at canal and st Peter's St. Waited about 1 hour for a maintenance mechanic and then for a another bus to come. The went like 8 stops and they had trouble with that bus. We final just walked back to our hotel. Plus the air conditioning was not working in the bottom of the 2nd bus. We only had a 1 day hop on hop off pass. WE DID NOT GET TOUSE THIS PASS! Very disappointed and would not recommend.
