Amazing Biking Tour - My husband and I just completed this tour today with Gomez who was an incredible guide and story teller. We learned so much about New Orleans and got to see neighborhoods we wouldn't have seen on our own. Loved biking alongside one of the beautiful bayous! The cemetery stop was also great and got to learn about some of the unique burial practices. Appreciated learning about the importance of Congo Square and the birth of Jazz music in New Orleans. Definitely come prepared to pedal! Gomez had an amazing surprise at the end with the way he closed out the tour. Definitely one of the top tours we have ever been a part of! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time with us!

A great way to cover more ground in the city! - We had a great time biking NOLA with Eric, who knows so much about the area! We made stops to review history of the area and Eric was mindful where to find the safe and shady spots. My favorite stop was at Cafe du Monde for some beignets and AC. Thanks for a great tour!

Perfect way to see the city! - What a great way to experience the city! This was our first time here and this was the perfect way to see more than the French Quarter. I guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. The bike ride was really fun and a great way to cover so much- we had our teenagers, 18,16, 13- all loved it. Thank you for a great day!

Do this one! - We do a lot of bike tours and this was one of the best ever. Gomez was a knowledgeable and engaging host who even put in a some OT to make sure we saw everything and got a good look at this wonderful city. We especially appreciated that since we’ve been in situations where stops get glazed over or skipped altogether when things are running behind. Gomez ends his tours with a very NOLA surprise that I won’t spoil. We’ll never forget our time in New Orleans and definitely won’t forget this fun, fascinating tour! Great route, perfect pace, sooo much information. 10/10 would recommend!
