What To Expect

French Quarter

Enjoy a grand overview of New Orleans, dubbed ‘The City That Care Forgot,’ on this comprehensive sightseeing coach tour. Start in the world-famous French Quarter, a quaint, mysterious area where the sights and sounds abound.

Jackson Square

Head to historic Jackson Square, home of the Cabildo and Presbytere museums, and visit a historical cemetery, one of New Orleans' ‘Cities of the Dead.’ Here, discover the unique above- ground burial system. Marvel at stories of voodoo and piracy on Bayou St John, the waterway used by Jean Lafitte and his band of pirates.

St. Louis Cemetery No. 3

Guests are welcome to explore this historic above ground cemetery and take pictures or they can remain in the bus.

New Orleans City Park

One of the largest urban parks in the country, City Park has golf, tennis and horseback riding. Stop here for photos and beignets (own expense.)

Lake Pontchartrain

Travel along the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, past a post-Katrina pumping station, seafood restaurants, marina and a historic lighthouse with the 24 mile long Causeway Bridge in the distance. Although called a lake, Lake Pontchartrain is actually one of the largest brackish estuaries in North America at 630 square miles (1600 km2) fed by fresh water rivers and connected to the Gulf of Mexico.

Garden District

Continue on to St. Charles Avenue, home to Audubon Park and lined with elegant mansions, churches and schools, including Loyola and Tulane Universities. Follow the route of streetcars and Mardi Gras parades to the Garden District, for a guided stroll through one of the most well-preserved living neighborhoods in the United States.

Tulane University

View Tulane University and Loyola University across from Audubon Park.

Audubon Park

Home to the Audubon Zoo, rated one of the top five zoos in the nation.

Work on customer care and callback. I asked for a call back and nobody did call me back. Customer service is why people continue to come back to your business.

We are not certain whether you called Viator or Gray Line. As purchases are made on this site, perhaps you had reached out to them.

After starting the tour, the first 5-10 minutes I thought, oh great, this is boring, but I settled in and Kate our tour guide got going. She was very informative and knowledgeable. She shared all kinds of fun and interesting tidbits on the city, the cemetery and the garden district. So while this would not be considered an "exciting" tour, I enjoyed it very much. Learned a lot about the city of New Orleans and am glad I went. I would highly recommend it for a good all around view of the city

You are very concise on what made the tour interesting. Some people are not excited about taking a group tour but Kate works hard to change that - and it seems she did once again.

This tour gave a nice overview of New Orleans. It was comprehensive and included history, flora and fauna and culture. We enjoyed seeing the cemetery and there was a stop for coffee and beignets. Delish!! Bus was nice and clean and comfortable
