Bus tours of New Orleans and the old plantations in the area offer an educational insight into Louisiana's history. Other historical tours include visits to historic homes, farms, cemeteries and the studios of Cajun artists. You can find a list of all the tours available at the New Orleans Websites directory (See Resources).
Casino bus tours are popular in Louisiana due to its large number of casino resorts. Companies such as OK Tours and Paragon Casino Resort Tours run day and overnight trips covering one or more casinos. Buses with OK Tours run from San Antonio in neighboring Texas while Paragon will send buses to collect visitors from anywhere in Louisiana or adjoining states.
Hiring your own charter bus allows you to design your own Louisiana bus tour. Use a company such as U.S. Coachways and plan an itinerary including historical landmarks, amusement parks, sporting venues and visits to restaurant and shopping areas.
