Easy, mellow bike tour is a terrific way to see and learn about the Garden District - Sarah was our wonderful guide! We were a group of 5 women total and had a great time. This is a terrific way to tour the garden district. We were able to cover a lot of area, without rushing. It was just right. Sarah provided fascinating details and insight into the history of area and specific sites, properties and the personalities of note. It was very leisurely and you don’t need to be a “cyclist” to do this tour. All flat and mellow streets. Ask for a basket to put your stuff.

Sarah was EXCELLENT. Great tour. - We had Sarah as a tour guide. She is so knowledgeable about New Orleans. The pace of the ride was perfect, we had a really great two hours with her and the rest of the group. It felt causal but she also had really good historical information. Also loved seeing the garden district. Can’t speak to the other guides but would definitely book Sarah again and recommend her to anyone else visiting town wanting to learn more!
