The tour itself gave a good overview of places you probably wouldn't see on your own. Stops are close enough that you can walk from one to another if you like being outside. Our first 'guide' spent time talking about himself and religion (as there was some organization on the street preaching/yelling) and not enough time telling about the city/history/places of significance. The next 3 guides we had were much better.

This was a good decision, nice to get a discount and get a good idea of the sights. Many of the attractions on the stops are paid (WWII museum, Mardi Gras world, Cemetery #1, Casino), others are modern hotels. The tour guide delivers info on the history and highlights of the architecture which are good however bordering on irrelevant. It feels like they fluffed it up a little bit. My favorite was the Garden District stop, free to walk and see lovely shops on Magazine street and then free tour of Garden District with interesting information. It is also a good way to get around and see a little further than the french quarter.

Double Decker Hop-On Hop-Off - Fantastic
This bus tour is really fun and interesting. The tour allows you to hop-off at any of the 18 stops whenever you want and hop-on whenever you want. The tour guides provide a lot of interesting history about the city, too.

I had a fractured foot in recovery and this helped getting around. Normally I wouldn't do it though. But it did give me a pretty general overview of the downtown area and it's near neighborhoods. If you just want to get around use the street cars. If yo want to learn about the neighborhoods take a walking tour or buy a book or tour guide.

Save your money! While the service is good, the stops are not. Three stops closed, hotel stops, not much history of area given. I've been on hop on, hop off buses before and they were much superior than this one. Do a bit of research and utilize the historic street cars to get around New Orleans. At the most, do it for one day. I wouldn't do this one again.

We purchased the 3-day Hop On Hop Off bus pass for New Orleans. The voucher worked great and we saved a few dollars on each ticket (bought 4). We picked a hotel close to one of the stops so we could walk to the bus. Discovered the stop had been eliminated and we had to walk an additional 4 blocks to the nearest stop. Ended up having to take taxis back and forth to the hotel due to long walking distances from other stops. This was Stop #1 on their route map. Otherwise the tour was fine.
