The tour was fantastic. Teddy our tour guide was great and very informative I would definitely recommend this tour

Tobias H

Excellent tour guide! Learned more about the history of New Orleans outside the French Quarter. Gave great recommendations for other things to try out during our visit.

Teddy was an incredible guide! He was so knowledgeable and made the trip very interesting ! Enjoyed having a small group !

Keshet_S

Our guide, Teddy, was wonderful! Knowledgeable and courteous and informative. He made the tour unforgettable. The van was air-conditioned and we could all hear him. He answered all of our questions and had a wonderful personality. We felt very safe with his driving as well.

I ended up with a pinched nerve and we couldn't make it. However, they called me to confirm and said if I got better, they would work me in. Very nice! We will try to make it another time. Thank you!

I cannot express how happy I am with this tour, one in hindsight I should have started my trip with as it was so incredibly comprehensive (the 'best of the best' compilation of what could have been multiple tours,) and most of all, FUN. Huge thank you to Oz our tour guide who truly is one of the best I have encountered (and I have traveled the world/been on countless tours). Again, THIS is the ultimate 'best of all worlds' tour done in a way that is so smooth, efficient, and informative. First, pickup is punctual and transportation is oh-so comfortable with small-group approach (max 10ppl) in a comfortably air-conditioned van. Oz who was such a gentleman and so engaging with his tour approach which made 3 hours not feel like it at ALL. Most of the tour was spent in the van but for me, it worked out perfectly as I loved being transported comfortably but Oz so good about pausing as needed for photo ops, etc. Thanks to Oz and his efficient routing plan, we covered a plethora of NOLA sights, history, and insights. Just to name a few off the top of my head: --New Orleans history, past and present, including Hurricane Katrina impact (with visual aids as well!) --French Quarter drive-through --Cemeteries: loved that this was incorporated into the tour- what an absolute experience to see this --Waterfront: view of bridge, history including impact of Hurricane Katrina (a goo d reminder) --Garden District --Recommendations both tried-and-true and off the beaten path (all were SO good) --Celebrity Fun Facts (i.e. pointing out where Peyton Manning grew up, the properties of Sandra Bullock, Tom Arnold, list goes on) On top of this, we did have a small stop at the Cafe du Monde off the beaten path- after seeing the LONG line at French Quarter, he took us to to the City Park location which was SUCH a good idea/delight. It was insider tips like these that made the tour feel like he truly took the time to cater just to our small group. Cannot rave about it enough. Such a learning experience and truly THE highlight of my trip. A hidden gem amongst countless other tours you can opt for but THIS was the ultimate experience. Thank you Oz!

Mr. Oz, the owner/driver/tour guide was excellent in his local knowledge and colorful narrative of this New Orleans tour. Unfortunately for us, it was around 90 degrees outside and his tour van air conditioning was not cooling properly. We were seated in the rear of the van having to fan ourselves to keep from dripping sweat and panicking. Two younger guys sitting in the row in front of us were both sweating. When we arrived at the first scheduled stop at the New Orleans City Park Cafe Du Monde, we exited the van and immediately felt relief from a slight breeze. We spoke with Mr. Oz about the van air conditioning and he could not assure that the air conditioning would improve in the rear of the van. My wife and I informed Mr. Oz that we could not continue with his tour due to the poor air conditioning. Subsequently, we took a taxi back to our hotel in the French Quarter and LOST out on the tour price of $62 each, $124 total wasted plus taxi fare. Mr. Oz never offered us a refund.

Brilliant tour, Oz was a fantastic guide and driver. Learned so much and saw places I would never have seen if it had not been for Oz. Thank you from England

I booked this tour for my parents who were in New Orleans for the first time. I decided to tag along even though I have been to New Orleans and had already done the “whole tour thing” with a different company. My intent was to enjoy the AC while keeping the parents company. I was pleasantly surprised!!!! Our guide Oz was informative and hilarious! I learned more with Celebration tours than the other company. The bus was comfortable and we got to see other areas that the big tour buses cannot access. It gave a wonderful overview of the city. My parents cannot stop talking about it either. I definitely recommend this tour!
