Great for older children, teens and adults, keeps your interest and fun. - Great history, I realize there isn’t enough time to share all of NOLA’s history, but I do wish more Black history would have been shared, we rode right by an area of the pier that was where the enslaved were brought in to New Orleans but it wasn’t mentioned at all. All our history, even the bad, is important to acknowledge. I think we felt very safe on our bikes as our guide had a careful eye on our group, even in busy intersections and places that were hairy, traffic wise. Very interesting overall, the bikes made it fun for adults as well as our teen daughters

Best bike tour in Nola ! - Chip are an excellent guide, he made our afternoon. He had to struggle against heavy rain and our lack of experience of this kind of bike.
We learned us so much about architecture and the Nola from past. We highly recommend him if you wish to have a nice bike tour in Nola even if it’s heavy rain - you forget the weather because he are so good!
