thank you i will be there in januray
My family always takes a bus. Traffic is horrible on the I-10. One bag or Bacpack and carry-on travel is perfect for the bus.
Because of your video I purchased a jazzy pass for bus to get to hotel and around town.
Glad that you enjoyed the video. We are also happy that our video was helpful before your trip to New Orleans. If you haven't already done so, hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.There is more where this came from.
Very good information. I am traveling to New Orleans soon. Thanks.
Glad the video was helpful. Welcome again to New Orleans!
Miss you and Robbie’s tours. You are the best for New Orleans
We hope to have them both in a future video soon.
Heading to New Orleans in a few days and I'm super excited. I almost feel ready thanks to the videos! Appreciate you!!!

Thanks. I think the shuttle is now available only to groups (10 or more?). I’ll try the bus if my luggage is minimal.
I visited with my sister and lifelong friend a year ago, 2021. We were walking down the street and I heard your familiar voice. I said hi but couldn't join you because we had plans. I was thrilled that our paths crossed. I am planning another trip and planning some walking tours. I have two new knees! Hahaha. It will be next 2023 October, just booked the room. I heard in a recent video that you aren't doing walking tours anymore, I will miss out. I will still check out the walking tours though. All the best.
We are glad you enjoyed the video Chine. We will be happy to show you around New Orleans when you get here. You can browse our tour selection here freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-tours.

Thanks Andrew for mentioning Xavier. I've made that trip from MSY several times.
While Andrew is way too cool to plug his other work, I am not. He has an audio-drama podcast out called "The Snake's Paw." Check out our latest episode, cowritten and staring Andrew, right here: th-cam.com/video/XPpivew0KdU/w-d-xo.html
Some of us only found out about this from your comment :).

Great idea for this video. Informative and to the point. Tips galore in this short gem. Thanks for bringing us all back down to the crescent city, the best city and saving us from further airport hassles! Love y’all ☺️! Also, when do we get another hour/hour plus tremendous, triumphant and expertly crafted guided walks through one of the many glorious neighborhoods of New Orleans?
Soon, Michael. Stay-tuned.
Miss you Andrew.
We are hoping to have Andrew back for more videos soon.
I'm heading to New Orleans in June. This was really useful information.

Just wanted to say that your guys videos helped me and my wife have an amazing trip to New Orleans.
Andrew is very informative, but for me, who has been to New Orleans a dozen times, I have just always taken a cab. its only 15 miles!
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Tamara. Most people opt for a taxi but we wanted to have a video that covered all of the options. If you haven't already done so, hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.

Suggs1980 We're coming in for the game from California. Wishing you happy travels and a great game!
Hi Andrew, good to see you! Very informative video. Thank you. I'll be visiting with my family for a few days during Mardi Gras and you explained the buses so clearly. One more thing. I'm not sure if you have covered the Mississippi Christmas bonfires but if not that would be a nice video. Or I'll look for your Christmas videos from last year. Hope to see you guys in February!
We covered bonfires a bit on our Christmas video from last year. It's a topic that we want to cover on its own. Hopefully soon.
Thank you sir for the very helpful info. Just subscribed and will be perusing your channel for more helpful information as we prepare to visit NOLA in the near future. 😀 👍

You're welcome!
Happy Holidays ! Let me double down on the rental car or having a car period 'in town'. First time I went to New Orleans 30+ years ago it was via a car, traveling down the Natchez Trace. (BTW if you have a car, Natchez is a great place to visit)I have never driven a car there since, & I typically visit once or twice a year. Oh, & it hasn't exactly 'improved' in the past 30 years...FYI
SA from NC.....I'm from Texas but live about an hour from N.O. and I to love the Natchez Trace.
It is tbe most beautiful place. I love driving it in August. So peaceful.
God bless you. Stay safe.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
We have a video on Natchez and we briefly cover the trail in the video. th-cam.com/video/jCWhvIqcj9c/w-d-xo.html
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ I am aware and thanks for linking
Thanks for this very important information. My son and I are traveling to New Orleans in June, and I was wondering about this very issue...whether to take a shuttle or taxi to our hotel when we arrive, or rent a car. This will definitely help with that decision!
Glad it was helpful Jeannified!
I'm going in June too. It's our first time and my anxiety is kicking in.
@@annruiz3590 Mine is kicking in too for several reasons...the heat, safety, getting around. We will be in our hotel after dark though, since I will be with my son. Excited but nervous at the same time.
@@Jeannified we decided to do the same. It's also my first time flying.
I wish I would of seen this before I came here. I had my language and my wheelchair walker. But maybe an hour later I saw the spot where the cabs line up. I moved here to live but left an abusive situation and my choice was my dream place to live in was NOLA. I didn't want to live anywhere else in the USA I found a great place I feel safe at. And look forward to making friends and one day join a krewe. Love ya hugs and peace to everyone
Thanks again for watching Martin! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
I can start posting them on my Facebook account if you like. I'm also learning about voodoo and I talking to haters to bridge the gap with love and compassion about stuff they never knew that they could ask. Like Trans stuff or LGBTQ++++ stuff. And y'all are educating folks y'all have my heart
Yay it was easy this time, tech bugs me sometimes I sent a tip it will be more next time I sent it through PayPal
The airport was originally named Moisant Field after daredevil aviator John Moisant, who died in 1910 in an airplane crash on agricultural land where the airport is now located. Its IATA code MSY was derived from Moisant Stock Yards, as Lakefront Airport retained the code. In World War II the land became a government air base. It returned to civil control after the war and commercial service began at Moisant Field in May 1946.
Thanks for the additional info, Ernest.

Does anyone know which bus to take to get to Renaissance New Orleans Pete Marquette Marriott on 817 Commons Street?
Your videos are terrific. Really enjoyed all your videos and look forward to meeting you in person for New Years!
Thanks!
Andrew Andrew I miss you, I need a new video and I’ll be there October 13-18 staying in the business district
Great video. We are returning for our third trip and your videos have enlightened us to a few things we didn’t know.
Do you know if you can take luggage on the bus?
Thanks for the videos.

I’m with Theresa Green, where have you been and how are you? It’s good to see you. Best wishes and hugs to all you guys, Robi, James and the rest of the family.

Last time I went to Nola lift and unber were charging around 100 bucks for a ride into town.
Can you do a video about the 50th anniversary of the Bayou Classic?
We will try to cover the topic in our upcoming videos. In the meanwhile, if you haven't already done so, hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.There is more where this came from.
Thanks for the info. You are so knowledgeable about your area. My account was cancelled for a while so I could not like and comment! I'm back :)
Glad you are back, Angie.
Yea Andrew’s back…. Where’s those T shirts?
Well, Northwest Arkansas National Airport near Bentonville is given the Code XNA! How that is I don't know, but Breeze Airways provides a non-stop ✈️ between the two cities!

He's handsome. I like it.
Thanks for the compliments Rodney.
Planning a visit in the near future, but I was planning on taking Amtrak into NOLA, if nothing then for the novelty of it, and staying in the French Quarter. Any tips for that route or advice in general? Sorry if this has already been previously answered.
Being Australian we are not used to tipping, what would a normal tip be for the taxi driver $36 fare
DON'T TAKE THE SHUTTLE BUS - IT TAKES FOREVER! And the only way it's a cheaper option is if you're traveling alone. If you're with someone that $24 one-way becomes $48 which is $12 more than a cab for two people. And the cab is MUCH faster.
Very logical.
Ok I wanna take a shuttle
So several years ago, pre Uber/Lyft , we ended up with a limousine driver that was our taxi ride from the airport to the French quarter. They gave us a “mini” tour on our ride into town. Are there options for something like this in today’s world? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this. I will be coming to Nola in February 2022 from the UK. Is it okay to take the bus at 20:00. I am a seasoned traveller and would have no problem taking public transport in most major cities in Europe at this time of night.
yes
yes
Are the rental car center at the new airport is completely ridiculous. The last time I was in New Orleans on business and had to return a car I wasn’t aware that it was going to be a 45 minute project to get to the rental car center to return the car, wait for a shuttle bus and then get to the actual airport. Who got paid off and who sold the land for that boondoggle?
It certainly smells like a duck. Hope you enjoyed this video, Robert. You might also like our tourist traps video th-cam.com/video/AXo03TdCplg/w-d-xo.html.

Where is your blog post. I heard the bus shuttle takes up to two hrs.
freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-airport-to-the-french-quarter/.
Even the locals during MG walk to work because transportation is….slow to put it mildly
Mardi Gras videos coming up shortly.
Either that, or we also ride our bicycles. New Orleans has many places to rent a bicycle and there's also "Blue Bikes" bikeshare. Don't be afraid to rent a bike and explore the many areas and wonders of the city. Just use common sense in traffic and use the bike lanes. Riding up to and around Lake Ponchartrain is especially beautiful, especially at sunset and feels like a whole different world compared to downtown even though you're still technically "in the city"
What about bicycle rentals in NOLA?

Thanks Andrew! Great information. See you next month!
Any time, Dennis. See you next month!
Renting a car for me no
Louis. Not Lewis lol
the shuttle is a bad idea. they almost made me miss a flight
when you are talking about trip costs, the word is FARE not fair. Come on, that's like 3rd grade spelling!
You DO NOT want to drive in New Orleans unless you live there. Seriously. Pot holes, construction, narrow one way streets, insane parking prices, crazy drivers, and, oh yeah, car jacking. Just don’t.
Thanks!

TY. I didn't know about the shuttle option. I'm so used to ubering but I love to save a coin. I'm heading there early January.
What about if we have checked baggage, Can we take the bus? I mean is there enough space...
How late does the bus run? We arrive at 11 pm on a Wed.
Did you ever figure out the answer to this question? I'm going to be there around the same time and I'd like to know ahead of time. I'd rather not spend the money on a taxi if I can avoid it.
Thank u very helpful
