Seasonal & Event Strategy

Our drivers are trained to adapt to dynamic city conditions, ensuring your group maintains its schedule even amidst the city's vibrant energy.

New Orleans Events & Group Travel: Essential Notes

Navigating New Orleans with a large group requires careful planning. Be aware of frequent street closures in the French Quarter and CBD, especially on weekends and during major events. Parking for coach buses is restricted in many areas; our drivers are familiar with approved drop-off and pickup zones. For Mardi Gras, festival, or convention travel, booking well in advance (6-12 months) is crucial. Communicate any special requirements, such as ADA accessibility or specific luggage needs, during booking to ensure appropriate vehicle assignment. Hydration is key during warmer months, and comfortable shoes are a must for exploring!
