Awesome tour and comfy bikes!!!!! ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Gomez was EXCELLENT at this tour! We had a great time and learned so much about New Orleans history from him.
We had a wonderful experience with Jordan! Although there were only two of us in the group, he took his time and gave us a great tour. We can tell that he enjoys teaching about the history of the city. He also offered great restaurant recommendations and activities for our stay and gave us his card in case we had questions during our stay.
The Creole Odyssey bicycle tour is an awesome way to see the City, and learn a few things along the way. Highly recommended.
My husband and I just completed this tour today with Gomez who was an incredible guide and story teller. We learned so much about New Orleans and got to see neighborhoods we wouldn't have seen on our own. Loved biking alongside one of the beautiful bayous! The cemetery stop was also great and got to learn about some of the unique burial practices. Appreciated learning about the importance of Congo Square and the birth of Jazz music in New Orleans. Definitely come prepared to pedal! Gomez had an amazing surprise at the end with the way he closed out the tour. Definitely one of the top tours we have ever been a part of! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time with us!
Absolutely exceptional bike tour! Eric was knowledgeable, engaged, energetic and really shared his love of history and culture of New Orleans.
We had a great time biking NOLA with Eric, who knows so much about the area! We made stops to review history of the area and Eric was mindful where to find the safe and shady spots. My favorite stop was at Cafe du Monde for some beignets and AC. Thanks for a great tour!
Eric is great. He makes the miles go quickly and is incredibly informative. It was a good investment of three hours.
The bike ride was really great. It was fun and the guide could and just wanted to listen. He felt it with so much and told joy. You could really tell how much he lives for it. Thanks for letting us meet you.
Great bike ride with our tour guide Eric! He was so fun and informative!! Would recommend this tour to see more of the cuty!!
