We bought the 2 day pass and very glad we did. The stops are clearly labled on the street so there is no confusion as to where to stand, there is also an app that you can download and see what time the next bus is coming to a specific spot. The first day we got The French Quarter tour with Allan who was great and very patient with my family (ranged in ages from 6 to 65 so not the quickest to keep up). He explained tons of the French Quarter in that hour. We did hop off and on at different spots that were highlighted on the route. The second day it was pouring rain and it was great to be able to ride the bus again as walking wasn't really the best option. Even though we had done the whole tour the day prior, because it was a different tour guide we learned different things. I wasn't able to do the walking tour of the Garden district because of the rain. Overall we enjoyed the tour very much, the only thing I would bring up would be that on Stop 4 it shows The Tomb of the Unknown Slave and St. Augustine's Church but when we walked there we found out that it had been closed to the public after Hurricane Ida and was not the safest area to be walking around lost. From there we walked to stop 5 which was past Armstrong Park which was beautiful but left very quickly when we several inappropriate situations began to rise next to us. It would have been very helpful to be told by the tour guide that we would not be able to go into the church and there was nothing much to see in that area but by all means it's not the guides fault of all the things we witnessed. Overall I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see New Orleans beyond The French Quarter.

I liked Jeffery who explained everything to me and made it easy. I liked Linda the tour guide who made things fun. The tour showed me the area and I was able to use the bus to get around.
