What a fantastic way to learn about the cultural history of this amazing city while getting a unique perspective on a bike! We were so lucky to have booked with Eric as our guide. I HIGHLY recommend you book with him. Not only has his family lived in New Orleans for generations, which gives him a unique view of life in New Orleans, but he has an incredibly genuine, passionate and enthusiastic delivery. His stories gave life to a city I never knew, and painted such a loving picture of the history of the city, its people and their culture. I learned something on every stop! No lie. The ride was smooth. The route through the city was interesting and exciting. Did not feel ‘touristy’ or corny. Really, A FANTASTIC way to experience the city of Bulbancha. I would do it again for sure. The giant green dragonfly that latched onto Eric’s pant leg near the end of our tour was awesome too.

Our tour guide Eric was amazing! Super charismatic and knowledgeable about NOLA. The tour was about 3 hours but it felt shorter because all the stops and history discussions went smoothly. Loved all the neighborhoods and our last stop in Treme. Would highly recommend!

WOW is all I can say! Eric goes above and beyond! This tour, hands down, was by far THE BEST! Eric's way of delivering NOLA's history was just incredible! He is so engaging, and makes sure that everyone feels a part of! He makes eye contact and delivers the history in such a way that you don't just listen, YOU HEAR! I toured with my 17 year old son and my 12 year old daughter, and we all agree that this tour was THE BEST, and we all LOVE Eric! He becomes your friend while on his tour! His welcoming energy, his passion, and his inherent love for his city and what he does is apparent! Thank you Eric beyond words for closing our vacation in NOLA as an incredible and memorable experience! We will see you next time! God bless you...
