About
A City Tour picks you up on a climate-controlled touring bus and takes you away from the French Quarter. They give you historical information about the city, most include a Cemetery Tour (off the bus into the Cemetery), they show you where the levies broke and give you information on Hurricane Katrina, and its aftermath. They are typically 2 hours long, depending on the Vendor and the amount of time that you wish to take to do the tour. You let us know if you have something specific you want to know or hear about and we match you with the best Vendor for you!
Some Vendors do Pick Up from most Major French Quarter Hotels, others depart near Jackson Square. For those staying in short term rentals, you give us the address you are staying and we find the closest and most convenient location for pick up.
