Our guide (“Guy”) was engaging, knowledgeable and thoughtful. The tour was an excellent combination of history, culture, architecture, and local color. The biking itself (for this 69-yr-old in so-so shape) was not hard, despite its being 90°F in the shade. We’d ride for only 5 or 10 minutes at a time, then stop and learn something new about Creole culture or New Orleans burial customs or where Stifler’s mom lives. For our family of five from out of town, this was the ideal intro to the city.

This tour was so good I would do the exact same one again and probably will. Guy was so knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and actually made it come alive! Loved the architecture information as well.

I loved the bike tour! It was a great overview of all the sights and knowledge to get you started with a New Orleans experience! Honestly, I recommend that it's the first experience anyone takes so you can plot the rest of your adventure! We actually did it in reverse and it helped remind us of moments we had and to plot more. It's by far the most relaxing experience you can have in the AM! Nice sights, helpful insights, great knowledge filled moments. I'd do this again without hesitation.

The tour was informative and fun. On a bike, you get to see a lot more than any of these walking tours. Especially in the summer when it's hot. Chip, or guide, was funny, pleasant and really knows New Orleans (ask for Chip 😉).
We went during a slow time, middle of the week in the summer, so we had the whole tour to ourselves. I know many other places that would have just cancelled us, not worth it, but not BuzzNola, they are honest and took us out on our own.
