- Jennifer Ashley (United States) 5.0Great way to see New Orleans!
My husband and I used the Hop On Hop Off bus tours for our recent visit to New Orleans. We found them to be very easy to use and good value for the cost. We also liked having the included walking tours, plus you get discounts on other tours in the city. The staff and tour guides were helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable. The only thing to consider is that these are not city buses so allow for more time in between stops and sections of the city. For example it took over an hour to get from French Quarter to the Garden District. Easy to use, just allow for a bit more travel time. We will definitely use them again!
