Itinerary

Red Route

Route Duration: 2 hours

Stops on the Red Route:
  • Jackson Square - Start your sightseeing journey at the wonderfully vibrant Jackson Square. This is seen as the first stop on the tour, but you can actually hop-on hop-off at any point along the route as many times as you want within your chosen time period. You'll get a real sense of the history and culture behind New Orleans at this fantastic public space as you come across architecture, statues, musicians and street performers!
  • French Market Place - Next up on your unlimited hop-on hop-off bus tour is the fabulous French Market. This is another chance to really get a taste of the local culture, quite literally! New Orleans is well known for its food, and here you can tuck into some Jambalaya, or even just grab some of your own ingredients from the market.
  • Esplanade Avenue
  • Tremé / Lafitte
  • Basin St. Station
  • Canal Street
  • Harrah's Casino
  • Central Business District
  • Mercedes-Benz Superdome - For those sports fans on this double-decker bus tour, you'll get a chance to hop-off at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The stadium is home to the New Orleans Saints, one-time Super Bowl champions. Perhaps this could be your chance to experience an American Football match!
  • The National WWII Museum - Hop-off at this museum to discover the fascinating story of America's contribution to the Second World War. This attraction is recognised as the national museum for WWII in the US, and it's an unmissable fixture for those history enthusiasts on the bus!
  • Magazine Street
  • Garden District - From the open-top deck enjoy panoramic views of the blissful and beautiful Garden District.

Things were closed down. Took an Uber to stop 1 only for it to be closed down. Had to rush back to stop 6 which was where I came from. Wasted time and money. Couldn’t see most of the tour and it was very disappointing bc of the Red Dress Run. I suggest you discount the tours on those days. Totally not fair to pay full price for that!

Great way to see the highlights of any city. We booked a 3 day ticket which gave us ample time to see what we wanted to. We stayed just outside of the French Quarter and could walk everywhere we needed/wanted to go.

I recommend the Hop on Hop off pass in New Orleans both to learn about the city and as your mode of transportation. NOLA is pretty spread out and if your itinerary includes places like Commander’s Palace or the WWII museum you probably won’t want to walk. We had a 3 day pass. We got on the first day and did a full loop to hear the history and get a lay of the land. After that we used it to get to where we wanted to go. And NOLA is hot most of the year so I’m not going to lie- sometimes we just got on to cool off and rest our feet rather than go all of the way back to our hotel. My only complaint was that sometimes we had difficulty locating the stops and there is a new stop #19 that isn’t yet on their map, but we eventually figured it out

This tour is amazing if you want to explore the city. It gets you to so many locations and comes every 30 minutes I had plenty of time to explore everything I wanted to.

Our bus caught on fire...actually oil line came loose and bus filled with smoke. Tour guides were very calm and helpful. I would have like more factoids.

My boyfriend and I took this tour while we were in New Orleans, and all I can say is wow....we learned more about NOLA and its history through our Uber/Lyft rides than we did from this tour. Our tour guide literally just pointed out sites from the bus route map and said "this is X, stop number X", literally did not provide context or information regarding its significance. She pointed out a restaurant and said they make the best sandwiches, someone asked her what was in them and she said she didn't know. We passed by LOUIS Armstrong Park and she mislabeled it as Neil Armstrong Park until someone on the tour pointed it out. We were 15 minutes or less into the tour and stopped for a rest break, her and the bus driver left the bus and she never turned her microphone off, so we had to listen to ear piercing feedback noises for a good 5 minutes until we said screw it and left the tour to conduct our own self-guided tour. This was the biggest waste of money and time. I cannot believe that I spent almost $80 on these tickets, it's ridiculous.

I bought a 3-day pass for my husband and myself. For the most part, we really enjoyed it. It saved us a lot of walking and we saw parts of New Orleans besides the French Quarter. The unpleasant part was waiting for a bus to pick-up a group of passengers from the Garden district. We waited an hour which seemed excessive. People were tired from the cemetery tour and the tour of the houses and then had to stand and wait for an hour. We were not able to use our pass for the third day because it really rained and after watching some passengers get totally soaked both getting off and getting on a bus, we decided to stay dry. We would definitely do the Hop-On Hop-Off bus again.

Nancy and Trudy were very nice and informative. Enjoyed learning about New Orleans and it’s history. Wished we could have toured the super dome.

The driver was very good, knew lots of facts, entertained all of us, provided answers to questions. I would take it the next time I was in town.

Even it was a bit cold and windy in December, the Hop On, Hop Off bus was a great way to see New Orleans. The stops we made and "Hopped off" were worth our time and the bus was always there when it said it would to pick up us. Park the car and "Hop on".
