Glide through the narrow, historic streets of the city’s oldest neighborhood while soaking in its unique mix of French, Spanish, and Creole architecture.
You’d see Jackson Square, the heart of the Quarter, with the iconic St. Louis Cathedral towering over it. Nearby, you’d pass the Mississippi Riverfront, with views of the steamboats and lively riverwalk. The tour would also take you down Royal Street and Bourbon Street, where you’d experience the contrast between elegant art galleries, antique shops, and the world-famous nightlife.

Bourbon Street is the most famous street in the French Quarter, known worldwide for its vibrant nightlife, neon lights, live jazz, and endless bars. By day, you’ll see historic French and Spanish colonial architecture with wrought-iron balconies draped in beads.
Pass by
Dating back to the late 1700s, it’s famous for its above-ground tombs—often called “cities of the dead”—built this way because of the city’s high water table. The most visited is St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, where you’ll find ornate family mausoleums and the resting places of famous figures like Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau.
Pass by
Frenchmen Street gives you a taste of the true New Orleans music culture, where jazz was born and still thrives today.

Today it’s a vibrant open-air market where you’ll find local crafts, art, souvenirs, spices, fresh produce, and food stalls serving everything from beignets to Cajun specialties. It stretches along the Mississippi River and captures the spirit of the city’s trading past, blending French, Spanish, Caribbean, and Creole influences.

A Fun Way to Explore New Orleans!
We had a great time on our Segway tour! Riding the Segways was a lot of fun and such a relaxing, easygoing way to see New Orleans and cover more of the city than we could have on foot. Our guide Rhen was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting information about the city. I’ve been to New Orleans many times, and I still learned something new, which is always the sign of a great tour and guide. Definitely a fun and unique way to experience the city!

Favorite Nola tour
We took the tour on 7/26 with Ren. She allowed us to rebook from an earlier date that had rain. Very accommodating. This was by far our favorite experience in New Orleans. Don’t think twice…just book it! Bonus…she recommended a dinner spot and that was also our favorite. 10/10.

Segway is the easiest most fun way to see all of the French Quarter!
Segway is the best way to see the French Quarter! It's so easy and fun, even at 70 years we both had no problem. Ren was amazing! She gave us good training and we started slow but quickly became very comfortable with it. We covered everything from the Saint Louis Cathedral to the Riverwalk to Bourbon and Royal St. Ren gave us great History and stories, she was very knowledgeable. We loved it, segway is the best way to see it all!

Great quick visit to NOLA
My husband and I lucked out and had a private tour with Ren. We only had one day to visit NOLA and had a blast. She was fun, friendly and very informative. Also, anyone with reservations about using a segway, no worries, it's easy to learn and Ren was extremely patient. She made our day!

Fun to segway, Not very informative or safe.
This is the 6th segway tour my husband and I have taken. We like to take a segway tour at each new city that we travel to because we feel it's a good way to get an overall feel for the city, it's history and culture.
This segway tour was very so-so. Patrick, our guide, was very nice and patient with the 8 of us that were in his tour. However, he did not have a thorough knowledge of New Orleans it seemed, and did not give much information or facts about the city as we were traveling through it. Most of the segway tours we have been on provide headphones to the tourists. That way your tour guide can be in constant contact with his tourists while continually providing you with interesting facts about the areas you are rolling by. This tour did not have headphones. So the only time Patrick spoke to us was when we stopped. Another very important reason for providing headphones is tourist safety, especially when passing through intersections or areas of traffic congestion. It has been our experience that the guide will go through an intersection first, stop in the middle of it, insure all is clear, inform his tourist to pass, and then be the last one to leave the intersection. Patrick did none of this. In all cases, he passed through the intersection first, stayed first in the line and just assumed the rest of us, 8 of us, got through safely while he occasionally looked back. This happened through intersections that were not controlled, or controlled by stop signs, or traffic signals. This made me feel unsafe and not very well taken care of by the tour group. As, I said, this was my husband and I's 6th segway tour, in which one of them was in San Francisco, traveling IN the streets with traffic and segwaying down Lombard Street. I never felt unsafe in those situations because our tour guide had control and made our safety a priority . But we did not feel safe traveling through traffic with Patrick. My husband and I was happy we took the tour. We did get to roll through a lot of the city in a shorter time that it would have taken to walk. But I don't think I can recommend this tour.
Operator response
