Overview

Pedal through two centuries of New Orleans history on a combo bike tour of the French Quarter and Garden District. Learn about the city’s Creole roots as you ride along the banks of the Mississippi and through the legendary streets of the oldest neighborhood in town. Then, cross over to the ‘American’ side, where stately southern mansions overlook leafy boulevards and the time-worn tombs of Lafayette Cemetery No. 1. It’s a great way to meet the many faces of New Orleans while enjoying fresh air and exercise.

Our guide Jeffrey did a fantastic job with the tour! He has a tremendous amount of knowledge of the history of New Orleans and shared many stories. He also kept the group together to ensure the safety of the group as we navigated some busy streets. Highly recommend this trip and Jeffrey!

Geoffrey was an awesome guide, in fact he got me so interested in New Orelans culture and history and i want to do the ghost tour. The ride is easy, so good for all fitness levels (i was sick with the flu and managed it fine). Def recommended.

Best bike tour

Karly_M, Mar 2024

He had such an incredible time on our bike tour. We had Guy as our tour guide and although he had far too much confidence in our ability to ride a bike after not touching one for ten years, he was extremely knowledgeable, the route was fabulous and we saw so much of New Orleans we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Would recommend a hundred times over!!

Enjoyable and informative

Hurricane Betsy was a blast!! She had so much knowledge of the history of New Orleans and delivered it in a fun whitty way. She kept the tour moving but wasn’t rushed and the 3 hours flew by. Highly recommend for those who have never been to New Orleans, great way to see a lot in a short time.
