Starting at our shop in the French Quarter, our Creole tour will explore the following topics. Topics that are not listed often arise during conversation and questions during the tour:
- Your bike tour begins with a succinct yet essential portrayal of days past.
- An oral illustration of New Orleans’ first 150 years (from 1696 to 1803) of existence from it’s backwater beginnings to a “Land of Riches” as advertised by the French government in order to lure much needed settlers to the territory, to being known as ‘The Jewel of the South.’
- Native American, French, Spanish & American History of New Orleans.
- 1,000 year old Oak Tree grove in City Park.
- Our ride will take us to one of the city’s most famous cemeteries, Saint Louis Cemetery No. 3 (photo below), where we’ll show you above-ground crypts and explain to you why this is the way that we bury our departed.
- Emerging from the cemetery, our bike tour passes over Bayou St. John and into City Park where lives the largest grove of mature Live Oak trees in the world. Historic recollections of the old dueling grounds whereby bullet and blade, many proud and charismatic New Orleanians met their demise.
- A break for refreshments at a local coffee/juice/sno-ball shop is on the itinerary too – remember to bring some cash because not everyone takes plastic.

EXCELLENT Based on 1564 reviews Carol G2025-01-25Verified Great Bike Tour - A Must Brilliant Tour - Teddy was a great guide, funny & informative. Bikes were comfortable & felt very safe on the roads. Definitely recommend this tour. Cruiser296964336212024-12-28Verified The best way to experience NOLA! This was my second time with free wheeling. I went back in 2015 on a trip through NOLA and of all the things my family and I did, it was the only thing I still remember vividly because it was so fun. My family and I did the pedal bike tour in 2015, but this time I did the electric bike tour with my husband. Both tours are so fun and informative! Our guide knew so much about NOLA and you could see he really loved his city. This is definitely worth it! If I’m ever back in NOLA I would definitely do this tour again! Michael C2024-12-27Verified Great experience Tour guide was knowledgeable and added his own flair to history of the city. Very professional and serious about rider safety. Made stops at ice cream shop and some other unique sections of New Orleans. Would highly recommend. Marianna P2024-12-27Verified Get to know New Orleans with a true local We had a great time biking around New Orleans with our super guide, Teddy. Teddy is packed full of knowledge and we learned about so much New Orleans history. Susie C2024-04-23Verified Easy 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 again Cameron L2024-04-09Verified Super 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. sandersross2024-03-31Verified Biking 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 Stalnaker2024-03-02Verified A 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. gailrw2024-02-21Verified Great 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.
