Great bike tour - Really enjoyed this bike tour. Seeing the cemeteries and the garden district mansions were terrific and hearing the stories from the guide brought it to life. So much better than touring the French quarter. Less touristy and much more attractive.

Best Experience in NOLA - I have lived in New Orleans for many years going way back before Katrina. This bike tour is one of the best experiences I have had in this city. Why did I wait so long! Our tour guide was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, caring, and fun. I was probably the oldest one on this bike tour, and she made me feel relaxed and confident on my bike. For NOLA residents and visitors alike, I highly recommend this up close and personal view of our amazing city.
