Michael_W, Apr 2024

Visiting the French Quarter and beautiful parks and learning about the history of jazz over the years

Do this on your 1st day in NOLA!

Wendy_S, Jan 2024

Great way to explore the city! We did the morning trip when the streets aren’t too busy with cars or pedestrians. Casual speed so that you can look around. The guide has a lot of history to share with us and you can see that he loves his city!

Highly recommend, especially for families. So much great historical information learned!

Karen_S, Dec 2023

The amount of information about all the different areas of NOLA was invaluable! Our tour guide was great and kept us safe. I would really recommend this to NOLA visitors as it gave us such a comprehensive overview of the different parts of the city as well as the history of each part. Would never have known all of this information! Biking was easy, no hills. Great for families!

Great tour

GeorgeWayne_E, Dec 2023

Our guide Justin was great - knowledgeable about the history, architecture and lore of the city. A great way to get a feel for New Orleans.

An absolute must!

Denise_R, Dec 2023

This was the best experience we could’ve asked for! We went on our first day and the tour guide was so wonderful and knowledgeable about the area. She told us the history of New Orleans, let us roam around some of the streets, took us places we would’ve never found ourselves and made our day just amazing. We were able to navigate the city for the rest of our time there and that would’ve never happened if it wasn’t for this bike tour. Thank you so very much!!!

Highly recommended!

Thanks Laurent! Had a great time riding with you as well. Sharing our city on bikes might be the best job in the world.

Wonderful overview of the city as a whole.

Jennifer_H, Jul 2023

It was a very enjoyable overview of the history of the city of New Orleans. It was nice to leave the French Quarter and learn about some of the history on the other parts of town that we normally would not have gone to ourselves.

Amazing, even on a hot...

Kate_R, Apr 2023

It was a wonderful experience. Bikes are great way to see the city. We zoomed passed the traffic. Explored several different neighborhoods and heard very interesting stories along the route. It was a wonderful few hours. Our guide was excellent. Highly recommend.

Fun, but a workout!

Kimberly_T, Mar 2023

This was a pretty good tour, though I do wish I had known up front it’d be more of a workout! The ride is 9-10 miles and definitely requires some stamina. But it was nice to get a taste of NOLA via Bike.

A MUST DO

Shana_U, Mar 2023

I wish I could give them more stars! This was phenomenal! The weather was a little cold but our tour guide Brian was so energetic you forgot about it. Super knowledgeable a definite must do we learned so much about New Orleans that isn’t Bourbon street, so much culture and history would definitely do again!
