Tour was great. We plan to do another tour the next time we’re in town. Tonya was very knowledgeable of the city, its rich history and culture. The ride was safe.

Our bike ride was cut short by a torrential rain storm. Tanya our guide broke out the ponchos and gave a verbal tour of what would have remained of the tour. We decided to Uber home. Tanya was the best, Thanks.

Got to see most of the N'awlins sites we'd hoped for. Tanya was great, and very patient with me (waiting for me to catch up. Too many photos ops!)

Tanya was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable about history and culture and nature and music and where to eat and what to see in NO. She answered our many questions and stopped at some great spots to explain some of her favorite NO sites. We felt we really got to know the neighborhoods and sections of NO - French Quarter, Garden District, Jackson Square, Treme, Congo Square, etc! The streets of NO can be pretty rough - we felt the bikes were well equipped to handle any obstacles and Tanya was great about warning us of any upcoming hazards. She took more time than allotted for the tour (so many questions). Our family from Germany who accompanied us were equally impressed ! Overall an awesome experience and a great way to learn about NO!

Just meh! Our family enjoyed the ride, but I think if we would have rented blue bikes it would have been just as good. I feel our guide Justin needs to refine his tour guide skills. It felt like he was just on a bike ride with people tagging along. Not really interesting or any fun stories.

We had a wonderful time with Sarah as our guide. She made sure we had a great time and showed us some of the main highlights of the city on an especially crazy busy Saturday! Something we didn’t love was the company itself. The bikes/helmets they provided (while functional), were kind of janky. We also felt like the route could’ve been improved a bit and wished there were some more stops to talk about the history of the city and highlights. Overall we loved our guide, Sarah, but think the company could make some improvements.
