    This was a great experience and bike ride through Marigny and the Bywater areas of New Orleans. It was a great experience and our tour guide was very informative. He was a local and was able to answer our questions and provide other recommendations in the areas. We loved the views riding through City Park and the opportunity to stop and get beignets. We enjoyed the stop at Mick's and look forward to returning to New Orleans for future bike rides.

    Fabulous experience on a small group bike tour that showed us there is so much more than the French Quarter and Garden District. Tanya was entertaining and brilliantly knowledgeable and made the experience complete. The bike tour took us away from the city centre and the mayhem of Mardi Gras for 3.5 hrs. Most interesting for me was the architecture in the suburbs. Loved it. The cycling felt very safe (biggest risk is the occasional pot hole). Interesting stop for refreshment along the way. Bikes are fine - NO is completely flat - state of the art bikes are not required!

    I’ve done several bike tours (Victoria & Sydney), and it’s one of the best ways to see another side of any city, and the tour at Paved Paradise was no exception. We met Justin at the designated meeting place, did a quick spin around the lot to check for the bike fit, and we were off. Justin was a font of information being a New Orleans native and he took us way beyond what we had seen to date. We cycled past so many sights with a ton of stops along the way for city history and geography. Our personal favorite was New Orleans City Park with a stop at the Cafe Du Monde for their famous cafe au lait & beignet. So worth the price!!! The weather was brutal, but Justin was good about pacing the tour with shady stops either to give us some fun facts or to take pictures.
