The ‘Creole & Crescent’ guided New Orleans Bike Tour is perfect for:

- Solo travelers
- Someone who has limited time to see as much as possible
- Anyone who loves bike riding, sightseeing, and new adventures.
- Those who are in Reasonably Good Physical Shape & of ‘Sound Mind.’
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.
- Our journey back to the French Quarter begins with a ride on Magnolia Bridge over Bayou St. John and down oak-canopied Ursulines Avenue before crossing into the famous Treme neighborhood – a place that music is always playing and good food is always cooking!
- Reserve a ticket and you’ll find out.
- All that awesomeness while being immersed in the natural beauty of many of New Orleans’ oldest neighborhoods aka (‘Faubourgs’) – we call that, “Passing a Good Time” Mon Ami.
- A few blocks away we apply the brakes at home base in the French Quarter, where restrooms and refreshments await. We’ll answer any questions that you may have, and give you our recommendations about what else is a ‘must do’ while in New Orleans.
$55 general ticket includes a professional licensed tour guide, your bike with a bell & handlebar bag, a helmet, and bottled water. *Tax, tour guide gratuity, cost of food & drink, are not calculated.
