Great guide, great tour - Sarah was so knowledgeable! She was super friendly, engaging and gave a fantastic tour. We only ended up biking a little over 2.5 miles so it’s not too strenuous and you learn a ton. Definitely recommend!

Great sights and historical background - I love bike tours, and this was a very good one. Great places to visit, admire. Guide was super informative and had a great sense of humor. Too bad the weather prevented us from taking a 2nd tour this trip. I recommend this outfit.

Try it. You'll like it. - What a wonderful way to see these beautiful historic homes and gain a bit of exercise too. This tour also included a Cemetery visit so double bonus. Our guide was super knowledgeable and had some great stories to tell us. The bikes were cruiser-type bikes and seats were comfortable. She even provided us with baskets which was nice. Tour was the right amount of time. Would definitely recommend.

Easy, mellow bike tour is a terrific way to see and learn about the Garden District - Sarah was our wonderful guide! We were a group of 5 women total and had a great time. This is a terrific way to tour the garden district. We were able to cover a lot of area, without rushing. It was just right. Sarah provided fascinating details and insight into the history of area and specific sites, properties and the personalities of note. It was very leisurely and you don’t need to be a “cyclist” to do this tour. All flat and mellow streets. Ask for a basket to put your stuff.
