The excursion kicks off with a journey through the Bywater and Marigny districts, which boast of history, art, and captivating shotgun homes. Your certified tour leader will escort you along Esplanade Ave, previously dubbed “Creole Millionaires Row”. We’ll travel down the tree-canopied avenue, taking in the awe-inspiring architecture, crossing through Faubourg Treme and reaching Faubourg St. John. Following a leisurely bike ride in City Park, we’ll pause for a well-earned breather. Participants have the chance to buy beignets and café au lait at Cafe Du Monde.

We then trace the path of one of America’s oldest roads - Bayou Road, the very cradle of New Orleans. Ultimately we’ll navigate our way back via the historic French Quarter and the Marigny, appreciating the impressive views en route.
