It was a little pricey for just riding regular bikes and not electric bikes. Could hardly hear your guide not something I would choose to do.
This was an excellent experience…Roy the tour guide was a wealth of information…he was knowledgeable and was easy to communicate with…his pleasant demeanor made for a very enjoyable experience… I highly recommend this tour for any bike enthusiasts who want to learn some interesting history about New Orleans.
Loved this tour. Our guide was so easy-going and knowledgeable and I loved all the stories he told us. Biking is such a great way to see this city and the tour gave me a greater appreciation for the city and its very interesting history.
Excellent experience! Andy our guide was absolutely wonderful! Loved the history, stories and he was so patient! E-bikes were awesome! Couldn’t have been any better!
We had a good time exploring New Orleans with our limited time in the city the bike tour was a good way to see as much as we could.
If the tour is advertised as a Garden District tour then it should actually go to the Garden District. When we arrived the tour guide informed us that the tour would not go to the garden district. One fellow bike rider said it was because there were no gardens to tour. I have visited the area before and was not expecting gardens, but to visit a section of the city with beautiful homes. Riding down Esplande was not the same. The tour group should change the description of the ride. Also, the guide was not very well-informed on local events or bike riding rules & “taught” the group to ride on sidewalks.
We had a fun bike tour! Adam was a great guide and offered lots of historical insights. It was amazing to see all the live oak trees, French quarter, and architecture throughout the trip.
This bike tour was the highlight of my trip to NOLA. It was easy to book, easy to find, and Adam is not only super knowledgeable, but his passion for the city and its history really shines through. We learned about everything from cemetery burials to the legendary Louis Armstrong, the fascinating history of Storyville and Marigny. All of this, while leisurely riding around the city, made for such a unique experience. The ride itself wasn’t strenuous at all, I believe an average bike rider will be comfortable. The tour lasted about three hours, and it was honestly my favorite part of the entire New Orleans experience. I recommend doing this early in your trip, though, because it’s a great way to get acquainted with the city before diving into all the other activities. The standout for me was New Orleans City Park. it was absolutely beautiful, with the Spanish moss hanging from the trees, giving the whole experience a magical, timeless feel. It was the perfect backdrop for the tour. I felt completely safe with Adam, too. He knows his bike rules inside and out, and he made sure we all felt comfortable, no matter our skill level. There were six other people in our group, and it was so much fun meeting people from other cities, it felt like our own little community on wheels. 100% recommend this bike tour, it’s an easy, fun way to see New Orleans from a unique perspective. If you’re on the fence, go for it, you won’t regret it!
Wonderful biking tour! Adam took us all over and gave interesting history on different parts of New Orleans!
Great tour of City Park and numerous neighborhoods typically not included in tours. Guide (Adam) knowledgeable on history and culture of NO.
