The tour is very interesting, but only in English, which is a shame, it should also be in other languages.

Steamboat Cruise Details

At the time of your choice, we'll meet on Toulouse Street and walk to the port of New Orleans. There, we'll board a traditional steamboat for a cruise along the famous Mississippi River. Can you think of anything more iconic to do in this charming Louisiana city?

Over the course of 2.5 hours, we'll savor one-of-a-kind views of the Mississippi River as we hear about the history of New Orleans and the Mississippi River. In addition, on one section of the ride, we'll be treated to live jazz music. Without a doubt, it will be a most magical cruise.

During the cruise, we'll witness the bustling activity of the 2nd-largest port in the United States. Of course, we'll also learn interesting facts about different historical figures and literature that are central to the legends of the Mississippi, such as Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer.

Finally, we'll return to the port, where this New Orleans cruise comes to an end.

O passeio é muito interessante, porém só no idioma inglês, o que é uma pena, deveria ter também em outros idiomas. Translate this opinion into English.

La experiencia estuvo bien, el barco era el típico de palas, pero era un barco muy grande con diversos bares, salones. El primer rato de la travesía te explicaban algunas anécdotas, pero entre que era en inglés y que estábamos en el exterior, en la cubierta, nos costaba mucho de entender qué decían. La música en directo era un pequeño grupo de tres músicos que nos costó encontrar, ya que estaban en el fondo de uno de los comedores /salas del barco. Translate this opinion into English.

The experience was good, the boat was the typical paddle boat, but it was a very large boat with various bars and lounges. The first part of the voyage they explained some anecdotes to you, but between the fact that it was in English and that we were outside, on the deck, it was very difficult for us to understand what they were saying. The live music was a small group of three musicians that we had a hard time finding, since they were in the back of one of the ship's dining rooms/living rooms. Opinion translated. Show original.
