Trolleys $1.25 each time you get on. Get a visitorpass for $5.00 person and get on and off as much as you want !!:)

They are called streetcars in New Orleans, not trolleys. And they are fun to ride!

I assume that's $5 per day? Still a good deal. We'll be there in less than two weeks. Good to know.

$5/day or $12 for 3 days.

Does anyone know anything about a tour of New Orleans' Katrina damage?Not sure if it's by trolley or some other means but it's supposed to be a great tour.

There are several tours including Gray Line and Isabelle. If you google Katrina Tours you should be able to find these and more.
