Excellent tour, engaging guide. Terrific introduction to Nee Orleans - Our guide (“Guy”) was engaging, knowledgeable and thoughtful. The tour was an excellent combination of history, culture, architecture, and local color. The biking itself (for this 69-yr-old in so-so shape) was not hard, despite its being 90°F in the shade. We’d ride for only 5 or 10 minutes at a time, then stop and learn something new about Creole culture or New Orleans burial customs or where Stifler’s mom lives. For our family of five from out of town, this was the ideal intro to the city.

So much fun! - This tour was so good I would do the exact same one again and probably will. Guy was so knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and actually made it come alive! Loved the architecture information as well.

A RIDE TO REMEMBER! - I loved the bike tour! It was a great overview of all the sights and knowledge to get you started with a New Orleans experience! Honestly, I recommend that it's the first experience anyone takes so you can plot the rest of your adventure! We actually did it in reverse and it helped remind us of moments we had and to plot more. It's by far the most relaxing experience you can have in the AM! Nice sights, helpful insights, great knowledge filled moments. I'd do this again without hesitation.

Fun, informative and honest people - The tour was informative and fun. On a bike, you get to see a lot more than any of these walking tours. Especially in the summer when it's hot. Chip, or guide, was funny, pleasant and really knows New Orleans (ask for Chip 😉).
We went during a slow time, middle of the week in the summer, so we had the whole tour to ourselves. I know many other places that would have just cancelled us, not worth it, but not BuzzNola, they are honest and took us out on our own.

Get the inside view! - This tour was perfect for visitors like us who are fascinated by USA history and society. Betsy our guide was very happy to answer our additional questions, (we are from New Zealand so our knowledge of American history is a bit light!) she gave us such great insights into this fascinating city. The bike riding was fun and traffic was no problem at all, Betsy also gave us tips on other sights to see, places to eat and drink around the city that only a local would know. Highly highly recommend!

A Must Do Bike Tour - Cannot recommend this bike tour highly enough. Betsy, our tour guide, gave us historical background to the city as well as current information in a wonderful entertaining manner. The 3hrs just flew by. Betsy also provided helpful hints on what to see and where to eat. Thank you Betsy for a great morning.
