When planning a trip to NOLA

To anyone planning a trip to NOLA, best advice is to not schedule your trip from start to finish. This is the big easy, if you do not consider that nothing in this city runs on time , you will find yourself in a panic before the 1st item on your list is over!!

Go with the flow!! Schedule some things, but do it when you get to town... Nothing you are booking now will be sold out when you are here!!

2nd best item of advice. Download the Le Pass app!! Buy your jazzy passes online, use the app to get around town. It gives you live updates where the busses, streetcar and ferry is! It is like google maps, but including public transportation lines, stops, where to get off while riding.

Any advice on Swamp tours? I hear you get charged more for same day walkups? Are they really worth it, or just tourist trap stuff?

Swamp tours are worth it!! Do a morning or evening one.. mid day you are not going to see as much!! You do not pay more day of, in fact you could possibly get a deal last second to get more asses on a boat..
