Samantha Armstrong2024-04-05Great ride, local connection mattered and so great to work with! We had a young rider (12 year old) with us and they were great with him. Loved our ride and getting so see/experience parts of the city we may not have known about without them!
Holly Pressel2024-03-31We had an amazing experience with FreeWheelin’! The three of us enjoyed the Electric Cajun ride and all the local and historic information that was shared with us. We would highly recommend the ride!
Josh Gifford2024-03-19We had a blast with Teddy and learned a lot. If you are looking to get off Bourbon Street for a few hours, I can't think of a better way to get a sense of what life is actually like in "The Northern most Caribbean City". Next time, I think we'll book two different tours because the only part of this one that was bad was when it was over!😁
James French2024-03-17My wife and I were part of a small group, cycling round New Orleans, guided by Teddy. The cycles were a bit strange at first but we soon got the hang of them. Don't be put off by only one gear, as the whole tour is virtually flat. We had no problem keeping up. Teddy's knowledge of the city was amazing and very personal, delivered with humour. We would have no hesitation in recommending this tour.
Barry Stalnaker2024-03-02We had a great time on our e-bikes exploring the French Quarter, Mardi Gras World, the riverfront, and New Orleans City Park, all without having to worry about traffic or parking.
Brad Seamans2024-02-23Great way to see the other side of New Orleans. Away from Bourbon Street. Teddy was a fun and knowledgeable guide, a true New Orleanian. A fine story teller and you can tell he loves his city.
Robert Drake2024-02-23We had an awesome time on our tour with Ted! The e-bikes were a fun way to see the city. Ted was very knowledgeable and his passion for New Orleans shines through.
Karen Emtage-Elliott2024-02-12Great tour guide, interesting tour, nice bikes would definitely recommend.

Cameron L2024-04-09Super awesome time!!! It ended up just being my boyfriend and myself on the tour, it was so much fun! Teddy was our guide - WHAT A REAL ONE!! Super cool dude, super knowledgeable as he is and has been a local in the area his whole life, doing the tour for 13 years and really knows his stuff. We had a blast, a lot more fun than we expected for sure.
sandersross2024-03-31Biking in Nola! The tour and guide were both great! It was very informative and touched on a lot of different areas in New Orleans! Would recommend!
Barry Stalnaker2024-03-02A fun, laid-back way to see New Orleans. We had a great time on our e-bikes exploring the French Quarter, Mardi Gras World, the riverfront, and New Orleans City Park, all without having to worry about traffic or parking.
gailrw2024-02-21Great overview of New Orleans Matt, our guide, was wonderful. Great tour guide and patient with us on our e-bikes. He made the 3 hours go by so fast. We learned a lot and had so much fun. Great overview of the city on our first day!
graham5556032024-01-02City cycle tour Carefully guided by interesting and knowledgeable leader. Good route getting into parts of the city that we would otherwise have missed.
Sean M2023-12-30Beautiful Bike Ride around Historic District and Park Had a great time cruisin’ with the family today - Ebike’s were in great shape and made the ride a breeze. Educative, interesting and worthwhile experience with a great guide. Highly recommend - no easier way to see some of the best parts and historic areas of the city in a few hours.
MaryEllen L2023-12-13Great tour! The tour was great. The guide had exceptional knowledge of the history of New Orleans. Loved the e-bikes the made the tour a great experience
GOESgirl2023-12-09Best Intro to NOLA My husband I and I spent 4 days in NOLA. The Free Wheelin' bike tour was the first thing we did and it was AWESOME! We cycled thru the French Quarter and then headed out to many of the outlying neighborhoods. The sights and historical background provided by our guide were eye opening. His obvious pride in NOLA was infectious and set us up for a much more meaningful visit to New Orleans. Hands down - the best thing we did!
nancy t2023-12-06Do it! Loved this tour! I have been on many Nola tours and this was by far my favorite. Super informative and fun. Couldn't recommend it more.
Amanda H2023-11-24Calm helpful guides and great way to see New Orleans Great way to see plenty of New Orleans without walking for hours! Went with a nervous child who took some time getting used to the bike and traffic but the guides were fabulous at calming everyone and making it a fabulous experience! Only (small) issue was the freezing snow cones as snacks halfway through?! But excellent helpful guide and frequent stops to see cemetery, park, houses and so much more!
