Craft Beer and Garden District Bike Tour in New Orleans
Description
Did you know New Orleans has a vibrant microbrewery scene? Come taste for yourself! What could be better than a bike ride from one craft beer to the next, interspersed with the sights and stories of the Garden District? Not much, if you ask us. We'll pedal to our first brew at Port Orleans Brewery. Next we'll zig-zag together through the the Irish Channel and the Garden District, stopping in at two more breweries along the route. Between refreshing libations, you'll get to see and hear about some of New Orleans most beautiful neighborhoods. Frosty beers and a bike ride with friends - old and new; it's the best way to get off the beaten path and enjoy this city like a local. 3 craft beers are included in the price. This is an excellent group activity. Please call in advance to schedule groups larger than 10. Adults, ages 21 and over only

Itinerary
We'll roll under the shade of the live oak tree lined streets of the Garden District. You will marvel at the beautiful mansions owned by wealthy merchants of the past and celebrities of the present. Your guide will tell you stories of not only the people who lived there but also the communities that built these beauties. You will travel to the neighborhoods those builders lived in and hear what life was like for them.
We zigzag through the Irish Channel, so named for the Irish immigrants who first settled here in the 1830s. This working class neighborhood was known for its shotgun homes, Irish community, and its proximity to the ports and breweries where many residents worked. Today it's home to multiple craft beer breweries.
We'll stop at 3 breweries along the route. Each one is different, with their own style and flavor, but they all have one thing in common: great-tasting beer. We'll take you to some local spots you might not find on your own.

A lovely leisurely ride through the garden district with some stunning architecture and sights. Justin was a great host and very knowledgeable on the area. Micro breweries were all unique in their own way and some lovely beers were tasted. Additional recommendations from Justin for our final night were spot on and much appreciated. Thanks for a memorable experience. We would highly recommend!
Fantastic tour with wonderful host Justin. Really enjoyable way to see some of the city, experience some of the culture, and enjoy some delicious craft beer
This was a tour to different breweries around the Garden District. I thought there would have been landmarks or other stops along the way but it was brewery to brewery. Thats not a bad thing and I'd still do it again, but if you're looking for more of historical tours look at one of the others this company offers. Our guide answered any all questions about the history of the neighborhood when asked.
Great experience to see the neighborhoods of the garden district and see the New Orleans that the locals live in.
Enjoyed the beer and conversations, and the beer and the bike ride and the beer. Our guide was knowledgeable about the local history as well and that was appreciated.
10 ⭐️!! Tanya was amazing. Super friendly! Answered all of our questions. Went above and beyond to be sure the entire group was happy. So knowledgeable about the area of the tour and the entire city. Thanks fo a great time!!
Loved Sarah! A NO native who had such great insight and experience with the local culture and background. Had great report with other tour members. Scenery was amazing. Facts and local history was top notch. Traveling with true New Orleanians is the way to go!
My dad and I had a wonderful time riding bikes and drinking beer with Tonya and our bonus guide Brian who was training on the route. The rides were flat and easy through many interesting and distinct New Orleans neighborhoods. The breweries were all unique and had more locals than tourists inside. Our guides were the best we had while in New Orleans! Tonya and Brian are both dedicated citizens of NOLA who have a deep knowledge of the area, are easy to talk to, and have great stories. They answered our questions and expanded our understanding of life in New Orleans.
Fun, knowledgeable guide. Interesting route at a leisurely pace. Interesting breweries serving excellent beers.
