About this tour

See New Orleans from two perspectives: wander the French Quarter with a smartphone audio guide, then take in the city from an open-top bus if you choose that option. This New Orleans French Quarter audio guide and hop-on hop-off bus tour pairs independent exploring with stories that bring the streets to life.

Follow a curated walking route with an offline GPS map and commentary at 26 stops. Along the way, discover Congo Square, Marie Laveau’s House of Voodoo, the Mississippi River, and the Quarter’s balconies and hidden courtyards. Hear about the people and traditions that shaped the city, from musicians and merchants to French, Spanish, African, Caribbean, and Creole influences. The walk takes about 2–2.5 hours, and you can pause for a café or a side street whenever you like.

Choose the 24-hour bus option to visit 18 major stops, enjoy panoramic views from the open-top deck, and hop off to explore before re-boarding. A live guide is onboard the bus. Download the audio tour before setting out, check your selected option, and discover New Orleans at your own pace.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New Orleans
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1. Top 48% in New Orleans means it ranks in the top 48% of tours in New Orleans by this score.
