But the deal we bought tossed in a harbor tour we liked. Mixed feelings here, so all I really want to say is to check your options before plunging in on the Groupon deals.

thank you! Yes, for groupon type deals I am always cautiously optimistic.
whether it be a massage - and they charge a mandatory redemption "fee" of twenty dollars
plus mandatory 20% gratuity ending in almost a hundred dollars of unanticipated spending.
also,I HAVE bought one for use in nola - 30 dollars' worth of po boys
so that's 4 days of lunch for me.
plus all the limits of what to order, hours, and minimum spend! and the worst of them- dine in only! when all you want to do is pick up tasty food and lounge in your hotel in pjs… or dont want to dine with all the kiddos with powerful lungs.
thank you again, I am looking at tours next so this is spot on timely advice.
