Fun Interesting relaxing bike tour - We learned so many fascinating facts about New Orleans, its cemeteries, and the people who lived in the historic mansions in the area. The ride was slow, easy and relaxing. Our tour guide, Brian, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared the information in a fun and engaging way. He clearly enjoyed answering questions, which made everyone feel comfortable asking them. We came away having learned a lot - exactly what we hope for what we take a tour. The bikes were comfortable and easy to ride, which made the experience even better. Great tour.
