Great fun bike ride around NOLA - My husband and I recently went on the Creole Odyssey bike tour with Flambeaux at the recommendation of a friend. Our tour was led by Eric. There were about 10 people on this tour. The tour provided a short history to the origins of New Orleans which was truly fascinating. Eric has lived in the area for a long time and gave historical facts as well as current information including how they still use the same equipment used years before to drain the water from a recent hurricane. The hurricane was about three weeks before we were there and he told us that a bull shark was found inland after they started draining all the water! There was no remaining evidence of the hurricane during our ride. We stopped at historical sites which Eric explained in detail. Since our stay in NOLA was short we found that this tour met our needs in providing us the history of New Orleans. We considered a walking tour but felt it would not cover to the extent that this short bike ride did. The ride is at a relaxing pace so we never felt too challenged to keep up.
Highly recommend this bike tour..it was fun and very entertaining!!

Great way to see another side of New Orleans with a local! - We had the best tour with Eric! His knowledge of the rich history of New Orleans was fascinating and his love for his hometown was clear. It was the first time weve taken a bicycle tour and we loved it. We highly recommend it. Even though it was blazing hot the tour was on flat streets. He warns you about the pot holes so dont worry. =0)

A fun & very informative tour. Highly recommend it - We really enjoyed our tour. It was so much fun biking thru beautiful streets of New Orleans. The bike ride is mostly flat, lots of pot holes but in general an easy ride. Most of the time we rode in the shade but It is warm here, so make sure you prepare for the weather.
Our tour guide was a local. Eric gave us so much information about the history & culture that we could not have picked up by ourself. He also gave us lots of great recommendations for restaurants & places to visit.
We biked thru French quarter, stopped at various significant historic sights, we walked inside cemetery no.3. We had a bathroom stop at the cafe de monde inside the park & picked up some Beignets. FYI to go Beignets are not as good, you should eat the hot :)

Give Bike tours try. Recommend the garden district. - Our guide Barrett, was well experienced with New Orleans history. But we would have enjoyed less history lesson and more biking. We got an hour behind on the tour and feel we could have covered more stops if his presentations were not so terribly long. One stop was over 20 minutes. There were no benches at most of his stops. No stops for beverages. Bikes were older, and not real comfortable. It is a very interesting area to bike!
