New Orleans City and Cemetery Bus Tour

VIP offers an excellent way to understand New Orleans beyond the French Quarter, with guides who consistently earn praise for making history come alive. Justin, Christopher, Marcus, Lee, Jared, and Henry all get called out by name for their encyclopedic knowledge, humor, and ability to share both polished facts and honest local perspective. These aren't just tour guides reading scripts—many are New Orleans natives who weave in personal stories about Hurricane Katrina's aftermath, neighborhood changes, and where locals actually eat. The comfortable buses, convenient hotel pickup and dropoff, and the stop at Café Du Monde for beignets add to the experience. The tour hits St. Louis Cemetery and drives through multiple neighborhoods, giving first-time visitors a solid geographic and historical foundation for planning the rest of their trip. It's particularly great for seniors or anyone who wants comprehensive information without excessive walking. Most guests rave about the personalized attention and restaurant recommendations that proved spot-on. One reviewer did mention some technical issues with a microphone and door noise during their tour, and the cemetery stop can feel rushed depending on closing times. Overall though, this consistently delivers exactly what it promises: knowledgeable local guides who help you truly understand the city.
