Excellent! Our tour guide, Scott, brought the history of New Orleans to life for us. His observations were fun and insightful without being overdramatized or corney. We appreciated his local knowledge and clear love for jazz and the city that propelled it onto the world stage. The bus was comfortable and clean (including the windows), and Carl was a skillful driver allowing the guests to relax and enjoy the show.
