Don't miss tour in NOLA

Tracy_H, Apr 2024

What a great tour! Eric is an excellent guide. He safely gets you through the city and to some spots you probably wouldn't see on your own or in other tours. He is very informative and has a great sense of humor. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour. Easy miles with frequent stops in the shade to learn about the history of NOLA from a local resident

One of a kind bike tour

Julia_R, Jun 2023

We really enjoyed our tour with Eric. His down-to-earth nature and generous sharing of himself and his family history really made New Orleans come alive! We learned so much about the city as well as its culture and history. For anyone interested in an authentic, organic tour and experience, look no further.

Great morning!

Tom_G, May 2023

Amazing tour. Wonderful guide. The bike rode was entertaining and informative! It got hot so wear sunscreen.

Phenomenal Adventure!

Tricia_D, Feb 2023

The best way to explore and learn some of NOLA’s rich, intriguing history. Eric is masterful in his storytelling, sharing a vast amount of details from his lifetime spent in The Big Easy. The ride is a long, leisurely pedal thru many areas of the city that you do not find on tourist maps or websites. The bikes are comfortable and easy to operate. This tour will remain at the top of my ‘todo’ list whilst visiting New Orleans.

Learned a lot

Bike through NOLA, EPIC!

LadyBugTAkaTralene_W, Mar 2022

Eric was a GREAT tour guide! Provided us with great knowledge of New Orleans,. If you are not interested in the general tourist tour, then I suggest you try this tour company with the owner Eric. Th bike was a easy ride and the route Eric took us on was flat and smooth! I will do this tour again and again!

Let's put this on repeat...

Amanda_D, Jan 2022

This was my 2nd trip to NOLA and my 2nd bike tour with Flambeaux. Each experience has left me with a greater understanding of the culture of New Orleans. I prefer to be a traveler instead of a tourist and I love getting in to the neighborhoods and off of the beaten path. Eric leads these tours with the knowledge, history and insight that only a local could. If I come to NOLA 12 more times, I am certain that I will be doing 12 more Flambeaux tours!

A-MA-ZING! A must do if you like to get on a bike and venture beyond the French Quarter!

Elizabeth_Z, Dec 2021

Wow! Eric, the owner of the bike shop, is incredible. We spent three hours with him biking through off the beaten parts of New Olreans. He's just as good as any college professor on the history and culture of the area, and super fun. We learned a ton, he kept things moving and my 17-year old son liked it just as much as his mom (me). We have had a lot of city tours all over the US and world, and Eric was the best we've experienced. I highly recommend him and his bike shop for a unique and memorable New Orleans' experience.

Must do bike ride tour!

fowlerregina, Dec 2021

Eric’s your was absolutely outstanding! One of the best tours we have had .. better than a walking tour as you can cover so much more area in a short time. We learned so much history and Eric does it in a humorous and amazing g style! DONT MISS THIS TOUR! You don’t have to be a bicyclist to enjoy.. easy riding !
