We saw a coupon in the New Orleans visitors' guide for $10 off per person, making this tour the least expensive (at $39 per person) of city tours after checking out the other tour companies. Read reviews on Trip Advisor and requested Wanda, based on the comments. Was told we could have Wanda as our guide, but when we called the day before to confirm our reservation (we did not hear back from Celebration Tours at all after reserving a month in advance), was told Wanda wasn't available. The pros are a private van (there were 8 of us, so it was just our group), pick up was at our hotel and drop off was where we requested (restaurant in the French Quarter), tour was thorough (got to see entire city, including Lake Pontchartrain, City Park and the lower wards). Cons: van needed new shocks, so ride was bumpy and uncomfortable, our guide Mike was a nice man, but spoke in monotone and his microphone wasn't working well, so could not hear him at times. Not very exciting. I've been on better city tours, so would not use Celebration again.

This tour is a must thing to do when you first get to New Orleans. It will give you a general idea what you want to see later in your trip. Your tour last about 3 to 3 1/2 hours and is very informative. Our tour guide, Wanda should has such a passion for her city it was very uplifting. Highly recommend this tour and if you can ask to have Wanda give it.

We came to NOLA with zero knowledge of the area. The first day we walked through much of the French Quarter, but knew nothing of any background. Our hotel recommended Celebration Tours, which came to only $98 for the two of us, and the next morning we had a *very* lively tour of *all* the main attractions of New Orleans (3 hrs - just right to absorb and not too long to get antsy). Our driver was Wanda, a real character with a great sense of humor. She was quick with complete answers to questions, and stopped twice - at the City Park and at a cemetery for everyone to get out and enjoy on our own. The van only sat four couples, so it was very easy to interact and have a personal experience. Highly recommend Wanda and her van tour !!!!
