After researching other tour options, Celebration Tours seemed like the best option. We went on our tour on 7/1/17 with Huey. It lasted about 2 1/2 hours and cost $49 per person. The tour is by van and starts off my picking you up at your hotel location (very convenient). After all passengers are picked up, the tour starts immediately. We were able to learn about the history of Bourbon Street, French Quarter, Katrina Recovery Efforts, NOLA cemeteries, and lots more. Due to us being in a van, we were able to get much closer and drive out further to some sites. In addition, the van is air conditioned! This made a big difference for us considering it was 95 degrees out plus heat index.
Huey was very polite and informative. We enjoyed listening to his talking points and suggestions about NOLA. I could immediately tell that he had his route and information planned out very well. My only feedback for him is to ensure he speaks up a little louder for those in the backseat. He had a microphone on but it did not appear to be working very well. In addition, work on being flexible on answering questions. Since he had his route and talking points so planned out, it seemed to slightly throw him off if someone had a question.
We really appreciated our tour around NOLA with Celebration Tours. As we leave, we feel like we have a better understanding of the history of New Orleans. I recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about the city.
