Buzz Nola was an amazing way to see some of the most beautiful and historic areas in New Orleans. Our guide, Adam, was super knowledgeable and kind, and spending a few hours listening to him was an awesome way to spend the day. He clearly loves his job and the city. The bikes themselves (we did regular pedal bikes) were comfortable, and the ride was about 3 hours and covered around 10 miles--enough to make you feel like you burned off your beignets but not so much to exhaust you. Highly recommend this tour if you're interested in New Orleans culture outside of Bourbon Street.
Excellent tour, went out to parts of the city that we wouldn't of seen otherwise. Ron was an excellent guide, and Larry the owner was lovely.
We saw pretty cool areas all over New Orleans and learned a ton during the trip. My fiancé did a separate bike tour recently that was not as good as this one.
Best thing we did our whole trip.
Our guide was very knowledgable and we had a nice ride throughout the city. We had 6 people in our group. Fortunately the weather was perfect. We had to cross several big intersections but had bike paths most of the way.
We enjoyed our 3 hours history tour so much & was our favourite thing we did in NOLA! We travelled with teenagers & Adam was a fantastic & knowledgeable guide pointing out all the interesting places with fascinating facts. The cruiser bikes were easy to ride & the seats were super comfy. The basket was very handy for our water & jackets. Highly recommend this tour, thanks again!
We went on the history tour with Chip today. I cannot say enough good things! It was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable about the cemetery practices, history, architure, as well as City Park ! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Easy bike ride, the area gets you away from the typical French quarter views. Park was cool, St Louis #3 was great!
There is more to New Orleans than just Bourbon Street and this is a great way to see it. Bikes were great, comfy seats, baskets for bags and water. Our guide was great too.
Our guide was fantastic, and I did really like the E bikes. The history, lesson and cultural information was rich and colorfully narrated. The only reason I don’t give this trip a five is that in the absence of any kind of sound system on his end or headsets for all of us, there was a lot we missed because we couldn’t hear him over background noise. I’ve been on other bike tours where this equipment was provided. For what it’s worth, I would strongly encourage the owners of the tour to invest in some equipment that would ensure all of the information is audible. Otherwise, it was a delightful three hours!
