Your tour includes your bike, helmet, and bottled water. You will be assisted with your bike to make sure the fit is right. Then off you go following your guide down the city streets. This is a slow-paced sightseeing excursion so this is a good option for just about anyone!
You will cycle through the Treme Neighborhood, the first neighborhood established by "free people of color." The neighborhood helped give rise to jazz, and some of its most talented practitioners still live there today. Saint Louis Cemetery No. 3, one of New Orleans' best-kept cemeteries is also on your path. Learn the reasons for above ground burials and New Orleans' funeral traditions.
You will enjoy the lush greenery of the beautifully manicured Louis Armstrong Park - named after one of the city's favorite sons. If you're able to pass through on a Sunday afternoon, you'll catch the Drum Circle, a tradition dating back to the mid-1700s. You will be delighted by the historic Faubourg Marigny neighborhood, a hotbed for art, music, and culture. See some of the most beautiful houses and mansions in New Orleans as you ride along Avenue of the Creoles from the river to City Park, an area also known as the Creole Millionaire's Row.
Explore the neighborhoods in New Orleans that most tourists don't get to see! Biking through a new city is one of the most intimate and personal ways to interact with its culture and history!
