We all loved the tour of such a unique and rare environment. The whole experience was super smooth, convenient and reasonably priced. The 22 foot boat (with a canopy) was quite a bit more comfortable than I expected. It was a crazy hot day, but the ride never felt uncomfortable. We were not bothered by any bugs, unless you count the weirdly-tame giant grasshoppers that were everywhere. The crown jewel of the tour was journeying into a serene and beautiful slough to see the famous Whiskey Tree - which was featured in Disney's Princess and the Frog. We saw plenty of gators, giant lumpkin grasshoppers, a curious racoon, and a Limpkin even screamed at us with its distinctively loud and annoying call. It was a great trip!

My family took this laid back tour of The Big Easy. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned and…read morewe were grateful in the summer humidity. Our driver was knowledgeable and injected humor and personality throughout the tour. We got out and visited a cemetery and later, Cafe Du Monde within 1,300 acre Orleans City Park. Drove through the Garden District and the French Quarter with areas of interest pointed out. Drove near Lake Pontchartrain and saw the repair efforts after Hurricane Katrina. It was a great way to get a taste of the city in a 2 hour tour. We were only there for the day and found the prices for this very reasonable. We had stayed in a hotel on the west side of the city and had packed up to leave town after the tour. We paid to park at the Sheraton for $30 while we did a little sightseeing before and after the tour. VIP City Tours does not have a physical address to meet at so they picked us up at the Sheraton and dropped us back there afterwards with suggestions for a couple places for a delicious lunch. We enjoyed our time and would suggest it to friends and family!

Summary 5/5 Tour content: 4/5…read moreTour Driver: 5/5 Tour comfort: 5/5 The best part of the tour was our driver Justin. He was so informative and also very funny. The two hour tour went through many neighborhoods including the 8th ward, 9th ward, 6th ward, Uptown, Downtown, the Garden ward among many others. He conveyed the fascinating history behind each location. He stopped at a historic cemetery for a 10 minute walk around and later at City Park outside the Cafe Du Monde. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if Justin is your guide. They pick you up and drop you off at your hotel or location of your choice. We would go again if we came back later.

I didn't know what to expect so I kept an open mind about this tour…read more We were instructed to meet our guide at Voodoo Tavern and Poboys about 30 minutes before to give us plenty of time for some drinks (to have at the bar and to bring for the tour.) About 15 minutes before departure, our guide Henry walked in and intro'd himself as the man to show us around. He did a quick round and once his check list of guests completed, he brought the bus around and boarded all of us. He mentioned we were making two cemetery stops and a break in between. He's a really entertaining guy and knowledgeable guide. He made sure to point out places of interest during the drive. He gave us plenty of historical facts and made at some recommended eateries as well as famous homes while we drove by them. We learned a lot because of this tour: why some crypts have vents and others don't, the story behind one year and one day before reusing them, the phrase "saved by the bell" (Henry mentioned this phrase supposedly originated from New Orleans), money flexing even in the afterlife, how and why and how there are so many bodies buried in one crypt (hence the many names on the tombstones - one had 500+ dating back from the 1800's), etc. It really was educational and fun at the same time. It's a two hour tour and that's what we got. We were also lucky to be with a fun and interactive group. TIP: The earliest tour during the week starts at 8pm. They start at 5pm on Fridays. ANOTHER TIP: Henry highly HIGHLY recommended taking as many pictures and selfies as you can. Some might reveal surprise photo bombers! (Sadly, we weren't that lucky!) He will also suggest downloading an app (I believe it's called Ghost Hunting Tools - it's blue with a black handprint on it) that supposedly picks up spirits. (I did it just for fun! And it set off another tourist's phone, so that was interesting!) He also recommends walking out of the gate backwards to ward of possible spirits from following you home or wherever you may end up in. (Whether you believe this or not is up to you.) We had a great time. I would absolutely recommend this tour for NOLA first timers.

We went on the "Haunted Ghost Tour: Go Inside a Haunted Location"…read more First off, the "go inside" piece of this is a gimmick. It was NOT what I was expecting. We just sat in a room while the guide told us stories about the courtyard and other areas that we couldn't see. It was pointless. The tour itself was ok. It was more history and story telling than anything actually scary. The guide was very good, very friendly and funny, but he did speak very very fast and we had a hard time keeping up with some of his stories. If you are looking for a scary tour, this isn't it. If you're looking for more of a history tour, then you'd like this, but I would save yourself the money and not book the one with the "go inside" piece.

THANK YOU JOHN! see you the next time I come back to New Orleans!

The Adventures in New Orleans Tour's bus tour was part of our Go City Pass. Pricing and savings…read morevary on which bundle you get and how many attractions you book, but it's great value. Catering to the tourism in the area, this tour company has options to pick up at your hotel or you can meet at their small business front at the start of the tour time. Arrive 10-15 minutes early to check in and get a good spot on the shuttle bus. They are extremely low tech here so I did not get a confirmation email or confirmation number from them, unlike all the other reservations I made. We really liked that this is one of the smaller more intimate tour buses. They have AC! Perfect! New Orleans is hot and humid and I'm delicate. Howie was our driver and extremely energetic and passionate tour guide. Remember to bring cash for tip! The tour is 2.5 hours and it covers the history of New Orleans, the culture, the neighborhoods, a visit at Cafe Du Monde, a visit at a cemetery, and of course what happened during Hurricane Katrina where Howie was a first responder and how the city rebuilt. During my visit I joined many tours, but Howie gave the best overview with corny punny jokes throughout the trip and made everything extremely enjoyable for our group. Highly recommend this bus tour if you are getting acquainted with the city!
