We got the 3 day ticket, on the first day we did the entire 2hr loop and had paige as our tour guide. She is a fantastic asset to this company, so informative and enthusiastic for the city and its history. We had other tour guides over the course of the next few days but paige was the best and really engaged with everyone on the bus.
We did both walking tours included in the 3 day ticket. Sparkles did the French quarter one, and although she was passionate, I found the tour rather lacking. It should be renamed Jackson Square tour as that's all we saw, I had wrongly assumed we would be walking to more places in the French quarter, including bourbon Street, but in fact we only saw Jackson Square. The garden district tour was better, this was led by paige so it was engaging and fun.
The tickets are good value for money, bus frequency adequate, however the toilets by the ticket office by stop 1 are horrific, they are in desperate need of refurbishment so if you need the toilet whilst on the tour, use the ones by stop 5 at the visitor centre, so much nicer
