Brian is very knowledgeable and you can tell how passionate he is with New Orleans culture. We never felt rushed at any of the stops.

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.

Our cemetery/Garden District tour was outstanding! Bryan was funny, warm, and ever so knowledgeable. Our whole family is still talking about everything we learned about New Orleans traditions. Above all, Bryan’s pride for his city was palpable and inspiring. We highly recommend this tour!

We had such a great bike ride thru the Garden district and the cemeteries. Tanya really knew her history and she was kind. This tour was well worth it, we absolutely loved it.

An easy level pedaling experience, most people could do this without breaking a sweat. Lauren our guide was informative and nice, she spoke of the history of NOLA cemeteries and of why they used crypts instead of the six foot hole.
We then pedaled into the garden district and saw some cool mansions, Lauren spoke about them and of some of the celebrities who own/owned them.

Super fun, informative tour - biking is the best way to see the Garden District! Wear athletic clothes!
Ian_C, May 2025
We enjoyed the bike ride around the Garden District. It was fascinating to visit the local cemetery and learn about the internment practices unique to New Orleans due to its location being lower than sea level. We also enjoyed seeing the prominent mansions in the area and learning about its history, past owners, etc. As our guide lived and grew up in the area, she offered her own experience into the stories which felt more personal and interesting. Overall, I found the tour well worth the time!

Bicycles are a fun way to experience this part of the city. Nice way to learn about the history and cultural aspects of the neighborhood. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly - did a good job balancing the ability level and comfort of other folks on the tour.

What a great way to get out of the French Quarter and see more of the city! Getting here was a breeze (just take the St. Charles streetcar), and this was a fun and easy/flat bike ride around the Garden District and beyond. Tanya was super-friendly and knowledgeable - I learned way more than I expected about the history of the Garden District, Mid City and the Irish Channel, and it was enjoyable throughout.

Our tour guide was great and entertaining. We learned so much about the history of Nola! He pointed out many homes of famous people that live there. The tour of the cemetary was interesting too. It was a fun, family event. He also provided waters on the tour which was appreciated and gave tips of grest, local restaurants.

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.

Tanya was a superb guide. She gave a very thorough tour of the garden district and a cemetery. And she kept it all fun. When we come back I'm sure we will do the City Tour with her, too.
Charles_W, Jan 2024
Tonya was a great tour guide and imparted a wealth of information about the history of New Orleans. We learned so much about the culture and happenings of New Orleans from a local, and were able to see the true city behind the tourist attractions.
With her information we changed the plans for the rest of our trip and had an even more amazing time!

Very knowledgeable local guide and emphasis on road safety. Best bike tour I’ve taken and a great succinct way to sample a lot of history in a reasonable amount of time.
