The heart of our city is seen through its many other historic neighborhoods, such as the beautiful Faubourg Marigny; and there is no better way to explore them than with New Orleans' original bicycle tour company. Join us as we take you for a bike ride around the old Creole neighborhoods and tell you the stories of the New Orleans that most tourists miss. The ride is relaxed, with plenty of time to ask questions, and a stop along the way at a neighborhood bar where you can find out all you want about local life while drinking a delicious Bloody Mary, if you like. For those who want to delve a little deeper, we offer a tasty Neighborhood Culinary Tour and a Historic Drinking Tour (where you get to indulge as you learn), all travelling through our streets like the locals do, on easy to ride classic cruiser bicycles. « less

This 4 hour bike and eat tour (The Culinary Tour) included about 1 hour of easy biking. The guide was great, the food was even better! A must-do if you want to eat like a local at the local eateries. Take the tour early in your stay......Cassidy will give you a list of about 50 places to eat, drink and... More

I signed up for the Creole Tour while my wife was stuck in conference-land. This is not your "let's go up and down the French Quarter tour", it's more about seeing the real New Orleans away from all of the tourists. Cassidy was a great tour guide, extremely informative and passionate about his hometown of NOLA. The biking is a... More

Go beyond the Quarter with knowledgable locals on a trip to discover the neighborhoods where the city is at its most authentic. The bike trip through the old french faubourgs (neighborhoods around the french quarter) of Marigny, Bywater and the Tremé on fat-tire bikes, seeing the various architectural styles and stopping at or riding by the local highlights of the...

Comfortable bikes, amazingly funny and well informed local guide, easy riding in a small group of six. This was hands down fantastic and an absolute must for anyone over the age of 15 visiting New Orleans. More

WOW, OMG and FANTASTIC! The tour we took was the Original Creole Tour. It was absolutely the perfect mix of fun, old school biking (as in pedal brakes and one gear fat tires) and amusing history lessons! The owner rode with our group of 8 with his docent Keith. They both were fantastically entertaining and super funny. They made me... More

We unfortunately didn't get to go bc of the weather, however the friendliness & communication was exactly the type of customer care I'd give others in the situation. We received ample notice of cancellation via text then a personal phone call with recommendations on where to go on our own culinary tour, which were spot on! We checked out all... More

We did the drinking tour on Thursday, May 3 and our guide was Laura. What a doll! It was by far the most fun we had while we were in NOLA and it was definitely worth the price. It was such a treat to be on a bike to explore the French Quarter, the Marigny, etc. We loved the history... More

I decided on this tour because of the rave reviews. While the tour was nice, it wasn't amazing. In retrospect, I might have enjoyed the tour more if I had gone on the 9th ward tour. I understand that the tour company has to make money, but I felt that the tour had too many people (8 or so) for... More
