AFTER BREAKAWAY CRUISE - NOLA TOUR

[drumming cruisers]

Has anyone done the Past, Present, Perfect Tour NCL offers after the cruise in NOLA?  

 

The one time we did a tour after a cruise was in Miami. As soon as we were thru the terminal doors, no one could/would direct us to the bus we were to take.

We went from bus to bus asking if they were the tour we had booked. Once we found the correct bus sat there 45 minutes after we were supposed to leave.

We did a toursbylocals tour in NOLA - picked us up at the port, showed us what we were interested in, Stephen G had amazing stories on the history of NOLA & great food/drink recommendations for the rest of our stay.  $300 for 5 hour tour, money WELL Spent

Post-cruise tours usually leave a little late due to the totally inconsiderate people who think that they are the most important people in the world and don't show up on time. 

 

We've done the NOLA tour and enjoyed it. Stop at the cemetery. Stop for some beignets and coffee.

Do you know where we get on the bus? I hear the disembarkation in NOLA is a mess.
