Amazing day in New Orleans! - We had the best day in New Orleans with this bike tour! This is our second time doing a bike tour with Buzz Nola and it was just as good the second time around:) Chip (the third) led us on a three hour tour through the French Quarter, Frenchman Street area and also through the Garden District. He stopped often to tell us interesting stories and some history of the city. Chip was an excellent guide and you can’t go wrong booking through Buzz Nola-this tour is an excellent way to see the city:)

Super fun and educational bike ride - Buzz Nola's bike tour is a great way to discover New Orleans
We took a super fun bike ride through the French Quarter and the Garden District led by Chip. Chip knows a lot about the architecture and history of NOLA. We also received tips on where to drink a Hurricane cocktail, a typical cocktail for NOLA, and where to eat.
The bikes were great. Because of the wind, we were upgraded to electric bicycles at no extra cost.
Highly recommended!

All the highlights and much more! - 2.5 hours few by! Chip, our guide was knowledgeable, witty and always looked out for our safety. There were 8 of us on the tour. The pace was quick but not daunting. Although we had been in New Orleans for 3 days prior, we gleaned lots of new information during our ride. Chip is a historian, appreciates local architecture and is passionate about New Orleans.... and he converses in a very easy going manner. And the bikes are comfortable, too.
Best tip was a seafood restaurant recommendation after the tour!!
Thanks Buzz NOLA Bike Tours!
