Overview

Hop on this 4-in-1 city tour experience for a fun and interactive tour with stops along the way. Half of this tour will be onboard an air-conditioned motorcoach while the other half will be off the bus exploring an above-ground cemetery, City Park/Caf du Monde, and the Garden District.

What does 4-in-1 mean? This means you get 4 tours bundled into one experience. A city tour, a cemetery tour, a garden district tour (stroll), and a stop at City Park for beignets (price not included). If upgrade option is selected, your experience includes admission to Vue Orleans, a 360 indoor and outdoor observatory deck.

Know More about this tour


Enjoy a grand overview of New Orleans, dubbed The City That Care Forgot, on this comprehensive sightseeing coach tour. Start in the world-famous French Quarter, a quaint, mysterious area where the sights and sounds abound.
Head to historic Jackson Square, home of the Cabildo and Presbytere museums, and visit a historical cemetery, one of New Orleans' Cities of the Dead. Here, discover the unique above- ground burial system. Marvel at stories of voodoo and piracy on Bayou St John, the waterway used by Jean Lafitte and his band of pirates.
Guests are welcome to explore this historic above ground cemetery and take pictures or they can remain in the bus.
One of the largest urban parks in the country, City Park has golf, tennis and horseback riding. Stop here for photos and beignets (own expense.)
Travel along the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, past a post-Katrina pumping station, seafood restaurants, marina and a historic lighthouse with the 24 mile long Causeway Bridge in the distance. Although called a lake, Lake Pontchartrain is actually one of the largest brackish estuaries in North America at 630 square miles (1600 km2) fed by fresh water rivers and connected to the Gulf of Mexico.
Continue on to St. Charles Avenue, home to Audubon Park and lined with elegant mansions, churches and schools, including Loyola and Tulane Universities. Follow the route of streetcars and Mardi Gras parades to the Garden District, for a guided stroll through one of the most well-preserved living neighborhoods in the United States.
Home of the St. Charles Streetcar Line and famous for the dozens of mansions that adorn the tree-lined boulevard for much of the uptown section of the boulevard.
View Tulane University and Loyola University across from Audubon Park.
Home to the Audubon Zoo, rated one of the top five zoos in the nation.
*If upgrade option is selected, your tour will include admission to Vue Orleans, a 360 indoor and outdoor observatory deck featuring interactive cultural experiences and spectacular views of New Orleans. The bus will drop you off here after your tour instead of back to the original departure point.
End your tour at the original departure point in the heart of the French Quarter. Make sure you check out a riverboat cruise down the Mississippi River with the Steamboat NATCHEZ or Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS!

    Robert was a great tour guide and Alton was a wonderful driver! Had a great time on this tour learning so much about the city and cemetery. Robert was mindful of the heat on us and very open to questions! Would highly recommend!

    This tour was phenomenal. Robert was knowledgeable, kind, and answered any questions we had. Alton was our driver and together they made sure everyone had a great experience. I got to see so many parts of the city I never would have thought to do on my own! Highly recommended for visitors and locals alike!

    Our whole family loved this tour! Our guide (Lacey, I think - I’m awful with names) and our driver (Nick, I believe ) made it fun. Our group of 4 ranged in age from 12-93, and every one of us enjoyed it. Lacey was knowledgeable and bubbly; my granddaughter said she was the best tour guide we had during our trip. Nick was helpful and friendly; I’m disabled, and he offered kind assistance. When I stayed in the bus at a couple of stops he was very personable to talk with. The stops along the way were well selected. I loved that the tour was more mystical instead of gory - great for families.

    Kate and the driver were awsome. Nice relaxing tour. Takes you around many sights. Bus was air conditioned. That was a huge plus

    The city and cemetery tour was a really fun and informative experience. The pickup near Jackson Square was convenient. The tour guide, Sean, was clearly passionate about New Orleans and so knowledgeable. Our driver, Kesha, was also excellent at navigating us around smoothly. I loved seeing St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 and the house that was used in AHS for Miss Robichaux's Academy. It is advertised as three hours, but we were back in just over two hours, which seemed like a good length of time for the tour. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this exceptional!

    Had a great time on my tour with John. He was fun, knowledgeable, and interesting to listen to. As it was my first time in NOLA, I learned a lot of fun and interesting facts that answered some of the questions that I had after just a couple of days here. This tour also provided a good and broad introduction to the city, and it gave me some ideas on how to spend the rest of my trip. One suggestion that I would give is to have comfortable shoes due to a decent amount of walking. The air-conditioned bus, however, was quite refreshing after being in the sun.

    Gayle and Alton where great. Gayle was informative and personable. Alton is responsible and trustworthy.

    Knowledgeable guide who communicated very well: annuciated very clearly , spoke at a good speed, and clearly researched what she presented. We learned a lot !!

    Jim was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable and friendly and presented the tour information in an interesting way that held my interest the entire time. Darren got us everywhere we needed to go safely and extended his hand to everyone exiting the bus to assist them, which was very gentlemanly, I would highly recommend this duo and tour to anyone! I learned a lot about the history of New Orleans, which was the whole point of me taking this tour. It did not disappoint in anyway.

    We really enjoyed the Tour of the city and visiting the cemetery was awesome as well. The Tour Guide was very well informed about the places we saw.
