Customer Reviews
We want to say thank you for helping to make our time in New Orleans a lot less stressful and helped us understand the city and culture better. Our trip was extended 3 extra days due to our train being canceled because of the ice and snow storms. We took the train from Washington state and had no problems but not so going home. All the drivers we had this week were very friendly and helpful! Special shoutout out to Chris and Gary, Scott and Lita, Tamara and Gary, Steve and Ellray, Ellen and Celeste. You all helped make our trip enjoyable and memorable. I really feel for those of you who had to brave some cold rides. Thank you Hop on Hop off!
We come to NOLA quite often, but this is the first time we have done the Hop-On-Hop-Off tour. My husband and I were SO pleased. Paige and Keisha were amazing! Paige shared so much wonderful information and Keisha manuevered the busy streets of the city like a pro! We rode the entire route with them. Later when we rode again we had a different guide. He was great as well, with a different set of experiences for the same destinations. It was like getting two tours for the price of one! We have done similar tours in cities around the world, but the narrator is typically a pre-recorded one. The personalized, live narrations were SO much better!
Our experience on the Hop-On Hop-Off bus in New Orleans was absolutely fantastic, thanks to Logan, our tour guide, and Gary, our driver. Logan was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining. He shared fascinating historical facts, local stories, and hidden gems of New Orleans with great passion and clarity. His storytelling truly brought the city to life and made every stop interesting and memorable. Gary was an excellent driver—professional, smooth, and very attentive to passenger safety and comfort. Navigating the busy streets of New Orleans is no easy task, and he handled it with confidence and care, making the ride relaxing and enjoyable. Together, Logan and Gary made this tour a top-notch experience. If you are visiting New Orleans, I highly recommend this Hop-On Hop-Off tour and hope you are lucky enough to have Logan and Gary as your guide and driver. They are truly outstanding!
