Awesome guided bicycle tour! - Awesome tour! Eric was the best tourguide! Very informative with lots of historical info. Go for it! Eric also gave prefect recommendations for places to eat and to go out. It was a really hot day, but this tour is easily managable, als for people that do not ride bikes every day. And the bikes were really comfortable too!

BOOK IT!!! - So glad we did this. Getting first hand experience and knowledge from a local guide while zipping around on bikes through the French Qtr, Jackson Square, Frenchman St, Maroingy, Bywater, St Roch Cemetary, Treme and Congo Square was the best decision we made all trip. There is so much to see and learn about in the areas surrounding the French Qtr that we never would have seen without this tour (and we walked 7 miles the day before). If you clicked far enough to read this review just book it, you wont be disappointed.

One of a kind bike tour - We really enjoyed our tour with Eric. His down-to-earth nature and generous sharing of himself and his family history really made New Orleans come alive! We learned so much about the city as well as its culture and history. For anyone interested in an authentic, organic tour and experience, look no further.
