Natchez is without a doubt one of Mississippi’s most charming towns. It’s a place that everyone – residents and tourists – should experience at least once. The town is practically overflowing with history and must-see attractions. And one of the best ways to see all those sites is the Hop-On Hop-Off Double Decker Bus Tour. Take a look:
Whether you’ve been to Natchez a million times or are planning your first visit, the Hop-On Hop-Off Double Decker Bus Tour is a great way to explore the town.
The double-decker bus is completely enclosed on the bottom and features open-air seating on the top, which offers incredible panoramic views of Natchez.
Wherever you choose to sit, you’ll be nice and comfy as you make your way through historic Natchez. The cool thing about the tour is that you can "hop on, hop off" at any of the designated stops.
Tours, which depart from the Natchez Visitors Center, run every 30 minutes from 9:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. with the last pickup at 3 p.m. The bus circles every hour, so passengers are never stuck waiting for too long.
There are a total of 12 stops. However, within that area are over 40 sites and attractions! The Melrose Estate and St. Mary’s Basilica are just a few of the places you can hop off to explore.
The historic district, Natchez Under-the-Hill is also among the stops. In addition to being loaded with history, the charming area offers incredible views of the Mighty Mississippi, along with a variety of eateries.
Not only does the tour conveniently take you to all the best attractions, but you don’t have to worry about navigating. Plus, you can explore each site at your own pace.
A 1-day ticket is $20 for adults (ages 13 and up) and $10 for children (ages 12 and under). At $22 and $12, respectively, the 2-day tickets are a great deal.
