The tour was generally what we expected, just a quick overview. The ride was VERY rough due to the poor streets and bad shocks on the van.
I enjoyed the tour. The guide was very friendly and demonstrated considerable history knowledge of the architecture of the city. It was a great tour which I did not feel that we rushed at all and had time to explore on my own, but enjoyed the day learning about the interesting history and life in New Orleans.
The tour guide was very informative and we were taken to a variety of interesting places. The big negative to this tour was the type of van used and the number of people on the tour. We had a regular van that carries a total of 15 people. The van was completely full. Two issues: #1 In this day of heavier people, filling the van so full, having to squeeze together into seats is less than ideal. #2 - The van had standard windows, so the people in the middle of the van, between other people could not see the various things we were told about. The way to improve this is to use the sightseeing vans with individual seats and long windows- then both problems solved!
