    Our tour guide, Elizabeth, was fun and knowledgeable; while our driver, Duane, navigated closed streets without us missing a highlight.

    Rather disappointing. Our tour left 20+ minutes late but to our driver having to take a random drug screening prior to our departure. The test was negative but caused quite a delay. Due to the parade being on the day of the tour we were advised after we were on the bus that we would be following a different itinerary. We spend a bit of time circling the same area under the freeway. Our narrator was very good and the historical information shared was good. Our trip ended near the casino due to the parade and we had to walk to the Roosevelt Hotel to see the holiday decorations.

    I was actually rather disappointed by this tour. We had done the standard City Tour with Gray Line on our first visit to New Orleans, and chose this one because it was promoted as having a more holiday slant to it. We thought that meant it would have some holiday trivia and sights, but really the only holiday item was the final stop at the Roosevelt Hotel to see the amazing decorations, and we were given only five minutes.
