The bike tour with Eric was hands down our favorite experience in NOLA. We thought Eric's bike tour was perfect--full of interesting information about the local language and geography, personal stories, and fascinating stops along the route. It was a real pleasure to spend time with someone with a rich life history in the area who has both local knowledge and researched facts. The four of us (two couples) of various fitness levels highly recommend this tour to anyone who has curiosity about places they visit.

We took two Bike ride in the town and but this one was the best by far. We where amazed by how much the guide was passionnate and enthousiast about his this city and theses neighborhood. Godd and natural raconteur vibe. We learnt a lot, they are really proud about the creole history and it's hear-warming to see it.

We toured with Corey. We saw some cool stuff and learned some history. Fun ride about 3 hr and 15 min. More talking than riding. We liked it.

My family of six were fortunate to have Cory as our guide two days before Christmas. He was knowledgeable, patient, informative and funny. Easy riding with lots of breaks. Learned a lot about the history of New Orleans. Much better than riding around in a bus. Would do it again in a heartbeat! I give this tour my highest recommendation!!!

Excellent tour of New Orleans! Our guide, Corey (sp?), was a gracious and learned host who shared many insights about the city and its layered history. Would tour again. Thank you!

Our guide was Cory. He was so friendly and accommodating and kind. We felt safe and he had nicely paced pauses for lectures and stops. I was very happy to “get out of the quarter”…and see surrounding neighborhoods. The best was a stop at cafe du monde in city park…amazing trees there. Of note, we bought our tickets direct through the company, not through trip advisor…that way they don’t have to pay a huge commission. I highly recommend this to help small businesses and to be able to get direct customer service! Bravo to Eric who checked us in! -Sarah and Seth

Wonderful time with Cory. He was extremely knowledgeable and took his time walking us through several areas of the city. He was kind and patient when 2 (!) people fell off their bikes. No fault of Cory and the company, just poor watching of the roads and obstacles.

Corey went above and beyond for our bike tour this afternoon. We wanted a lay of the land type intro to the city and he delivered with genuine passion for NOLA. He engaged us so well we were spellbound by the history and he had great explanations for all our questions. It seems Flambeaux has great guides and routes in general. We feel prepared now to hit the streets!

The bike tour was everything. Our tour guide Eric was so nice. Prior to taking off he stressed safety, made sure everyone was comfortable on their bikes, and made necessary adjustments. He was very knowledgeable on the history of NOLA and kept everyone engaged in his story telling. I travel a lot and have taken other bike tours but this one was by far the best. I loved it!
