marcus batson2024-08-23Great ride and guide!Michael Tellez2024-08-23Great bike tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and I appreciate him sharing the pride and unique features of New Orleans, but also the challenges that New Orleans experiences. Next trip we’ll definitely rent some bikes from this group to do some leisurely touring about the city!Monica2024-08-17We recently had the pleasure of taking an e-bike tour around New Orleans, and it was an unforgettable experience! We were a group of 4 and it was great. Our tour guide, Teddy, truly made the tour exceptional. His knowledge of the city's history and his entertaining storytelling made the tour both educational and fun. One of the highlights of the tour was riding e-bikes, which added an extra element of excitement and made exploring the city even more enjoyable. The ease of riding the e-bikes allowed us to cover more ground and see more of the beautiful sights that New Orleans has to offer. Overall, I highly recommend this bike tour to anyone looking to explore New Orleans in a unique and engaging way. It was a great way to spend my sister’s birthday. Teddy's expertise and the e-bikes made this tour a five-star experience that we will always remember.Thomas Bentrup2024-05-29Wonderful ride with e-bikes and lots of informationNatonya Perry2024-05-25If you’re looking to rent a bike, get an excellent history lesson about New Orleans or the best food recommendations THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!

EXCELLENTBased on 1560 reviewsVerifiedSusie C2024-04-23Easy bike ride with some incredible stories and history along the way. Just book it! We took a tour with Teddy back in 2019 and loved it so much we came back and brought our friends! What I appreciate most is getting a tour of the city from someone who is not only local, but who clearly has such meaningful ties to his city and everyone in it. His storytelling style is so easy and unique. There no cheese or sugarcoating going on. It’s just a very cool, very straightforward history lesson and our group enjoyed every second. The ride itself was fun, comfortable, and extremely safe which allowed us to soak in the information he shared with us at each turn. Teddy is clearly known and loved around town and it was pretty cool getting to see New Orleans through his eyes. Can’t wait to come back and ride with him againVerifiedCameron 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.Verifiedsandersross2024-03-31Biking 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!VerifiedBarry 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.Verifiedgailrw2024-02-21Great 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!Verifiedgraham5556032024-01-02City cycle tour Carefully guided by interesting and knowledgeable leader. Good route getting into parts of the city that we would otherwise have missed.VerifiedSean 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.VerifiedMaryEllen 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 experienceVerifiedGOESgirl2023-12-09Best 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!Verifiednancy 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.
