See not only the damage from Hurrican Katrina, but the uplifting rebuilding; and more importantly, why the neighborhood needed to survive. We'll visit the levee, learn about the musical culture, and meet Ronald Lewis, local historian and curator of the House of Dance and Feathers. Definitely an unforgettable day. « less

We loved the bike tour. It was not strenuous and is good for someone like us, who had not been on a bike in years. Jeff is a great guide and had lots of information on the history of the area. Stopped for a great lunch of po'boys at Cajun Joes. Loved meeting Ronald Lewis at the House of Dance... More

having been a little hesitant about setting off on a 4 hour bike tour in the mid-day heat, i took the plunge and went for it. Was one of the most informative, fun, interesting tours i have done in a long while. Derek is easy going, and knowledgable, and the tour offered a real insight into both the history of... More

I just returned from the world famous New Orleans Jazz Festival. My last visit was pre Katrina and I wanted to get a sense of the impact and rebuilding in the 9th Ward after endless news photos of destruction and despair. And I wanted to exercise and get away from the crowds. Derrick, 4th generation from New Orleans who himself... More

My husband and I had the pleasure of taking this bike tour with Derrick in March. The group we biked with had people from their early twenties to their early sixties. We had a fun time, saw and learned a lot. Derrick is very easy going, very nice, and very smart. We did not bike on busy streets and the... More

This tour was awesome for multiple reasons. We originally had to reschedule because of a torrential rain storm that came in, and the guides felt bad and gave us recommendations for how else to spend our day. Their food recommendations were great. Be sure to ask when you book for their suggestions so that you can take full advantage of... More

This was a fun, easy, semi-active way to learn about not only the lower 9th ward, but much of New Orleans history. I own a wetlands kayak tour company that operates outside of the City, and I regularly get asked to recommend New Orleans attractions that are off the beaten path. The Ninth Ward Bike tour is always the first... More

This was one of the highlights of our NOLA visit. I found this while browsing through tours on TripAdvisor, looking or something off the beaten path and this looked like we'd be in neighborhoods and on the ground. Setting up the trip by email was easy and they answered all my questions - from vegetarian lunch options to was this... More

A group of 10 of us were visiting New Orleans this past week and Derrick and his group went out of their way to accommodate our large group. Cassidy was our tour guide - he was phenomenal! We all loved this tour - it was the highpoint of our visit. The group hasn't stopped talking about how fun, informative, emotional,... More

Great way to spend half a day in New Orleans. Staff worked hard to make everything convenient and fun. Learned more about the city than I expected. Guide Derek changed up the tour when he found out that there was a "Second Line" passing nearby. It's a parade by neighborhood benevolent association. Good food, marching band, and a few beers...

If there is nothing else you do while visiting NOLA aside from taking this tour, you would still leave satisfied. While making a list of places to visit and things to see while visiting New Orleans, tripadvisor made it possible to include this little known gem of the city. I knew I wanted to see more than Bourbon St. and... More
