• 3NOLA Sightseeing Tour

  The tour guide may only cater to the loud drinks on the bus. Four o’clock is the wrong time to go or hopefully you get a guide with a back bone.

  Comfy and efficient way to see the city. Interesting stories from Cindy and driver Aran was excellent.

• 3Bus never slows or stops for sights.

  Unfortunately, we could not go into the French Quarter due to street construction. The guide was informative, however, by the time he called out a location to see we were already passing it. No way to get a good look at it let alone get a picture. The bus NEVER slowed or stopped for anything the guide pointed out. It was very frustrating. We did stop and get out at a cemetery which was cool. We would not recommend this bus tour.

• 5Great Way To See The City

  There were people in our tour who had never witnessed New Orleans so this tour offered them a chance to experience the different areas of the City. There were people in our group who have been coming to New Orleans for years and did not know that Ruby Bridges desegrated a school in New Orleans. We got to see the steps! It was a beautiful moment.

About New Orleans

New Orleans is the Louisiana city of jazz, Creole food and the French Quarter, set on a bend of the Mississippi River near the Gulf of Mexico.

New Orleans was founded by the French in 1718 and later ruled by Spain, and the French Quarter still shows it, with wrought-iron balconies, courtyards and Jackson Square, which St Louis Cathedral overlooks. Jazz was born here, and live music pours from clubs on Frenchmen Street. The St Charles streetcar rattles beneath oaks to the mansions of the Garden District.
