This is our first trip to NOLA and the bike tour exceeded expectations. Although all guides are likely knowledgeable, we feel fortunate to have had Eric. His historical knowledge of NOLA history, culture and fun facts coupled with his enthusiasm, was well worth the time. We leave with a much greater appreciation for NOLA and its rich history, thanks to Eric & his commitment. By the way, it rained and was still awesome!!

Upon arrival at our bike tour headquarters, we were introduced to our guide, Eric, and 4 other tour members, who were all Kiwis!
Eric is a local, and for the next three hours, he expertly and safely guided us through some of the inner city neighbourhoods. His knowledge of the history of the area was fascinating and thoroughly interesting.
A halfway cafe stop was appreciated, as for us Kiwis, it was pretty warm and humid.
I would definitely recommend this tour, as you will come away far more knowledgeable, and you will enjoy Eric’s knowledge and personality.
