Our guide Chip and the whole experience was fantastic. A great way to see more than just the French Quarter. Chip was very knowledgeable and provided insight on so many aspects of the area. Bikes were comfortable and the ride was just long enough.

We (2 adults and 2 teens) had a great time on this bike tour. I have been dealing with a plantar fasciitis flare so the bike was a perfect way to see a lot of the city without walking. It was also a fantastic way to learn some NOLA history.

Chip was so knowledgeable about New Orleans. I can’t say enough about this bike tour we absolutely loved it! 🥰 It was a flat and easy ride. I would do it again. We are in our 60s

Love learning the history of a city and the tour guide didn't disappoint. The bikes were very comfortable and the route was easy. Very happy I took the time to book this tour. Highly recommended.

The tour was great! Chip was a super tour guide and we saw a lot on the 3-hr bike ride. Thank you, Chip! Cannot say the same for Viator - we booked our activity through them, but received no Viator rewards. They said the activity is not eligible??

It was a great way to see a lot of the city in a small group. Got lots of interesting information. Please note, the bikes are heavy and the braking mechanism may take a bit to get used to.

Excellent bike ride, see more than just typical New Orleans sights. Lots of history along the way. Knowledge able tour guide. Good way to survey the city and see places to go back to later

Chip are an excellent guide, he made our afternoon. He had to struggle against heavy rain and our lack of experience of this kind of bike.
We learned us so much about architecture and the Nola from past. We highly recommend him if you wish to have a nice bike tour in Nola even if it’s heavy rain - you forget the weather because he are so good!
Marcus_K, Feb 2024
Excellent way to see the sights and get a real feel for different neighborhoods quickly! Wonderful tour guide that makes time pass quickly with great stories at stops. Get your exercise - but in a way that's rejuvenating, especially on a day with lovely weather that's not too hot. Highly recommend!
Deborah_M, Feb 2024
This is a perfect tour that brings the city to life if you’re visiting for a short time! We got to see much more of the city than we would have on foot, with a lot more context. Chip was an excellent guide with a depth of local knowledge. Highly recommend!
Suzanne_S, Feb 2024
Chip was such a great tour guide! Told us such interesting stories about the history and legends of New Orleans! Took us to all the prime, must see spots but also introduced us to some wonderful, off the tourist spectrum, neighborhood! Can’t wait to do another tour with him!
Michelle_S, Jan 2024
We had a very enjoyable outing on this bike tour. Our guide, Guy, was excellent- friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about New Orleans and Creole history. The biking was fun and leisurely on the flat terrain. I had been slightly worried about safety on the city streets, but most of the roads had bike lanes and we biked on the boardwalk along the river, in quiet neighborhoods, and the expansive city park. The stop at Cafe du Monde halfway through was a nice touch as well. Would highly recommend this tour!
AnnMarie_J, Dec 2023
A bike tour was a great way to see all that NOLA has to offer. We had a great guide who was very knowledgeable and provided us with the history of the city and different neighborhoods. We saw the Mississippi River, Jackson Square, parks, historical neighborhoods and stopped at a Cafe du Monde for a beignet. This is an excellent local small business! I highly recommend the tour and the company.
curtis_F, Nov 2023
Excellent tour guide had a great time and very informative, the ride took us through neighborhoods and had plenty scenery
Mary_M, Nov 2023
Our guide Chip was very knowledgeable. He could answer any question we asked about the city. His history lessons were interesting and his sense of humor was the perfect mix to a fun outing on bikes. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about the city and be a little active at the same time.
Janice_E, Oct 2023
Our guide, Chip, was excellent! Lots of facts about the city, as well as seeing lots of sites!
Highly recommend!

Tina_B, Apr 2023
Betsy was a great tour guide ! I learnt so much about the city and enjoyed some really good views ! Would recommend this tour
Britt_E, Jan 2023
Especially if you're only in town for a few days, this is a great way to see a lot of the city in a short period of time! The weather was perfect (thank you, October) the morning of our tour. Our guide himself was very interesting and also extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city (and pretty much any other oddball topic you wanted to explore). I appreciate that he asked us what our interests were and gave us little extra breadcrumbs based on what we wanted to hear. The beignet stop at Cafe du Monde was the cherry on top. We always felt safe on the roads. Wear comfy clothes and bring water.
