Loved our heart of the city tour

My husband and I very much enjoyed our heart of the city bike tour @flambeauxtours with Eric. We rode our cruiser bikes through the French Quarter, Marigny, Bywater, and Tremé, each worth seeing. At just over halfway, we stopped at a coffeehouse for some much needed iced coffee. My favorite part was learning about the demographics/history of the people of New Orleans, such as the difference between Creole and Cajun. Eric is originally from the area, moved away for a while, and came back, which gives him a deep understanding and yet objectivity about the city. Eric gave us great recommendations for things to do and eat after the tour. I highly recommend #flambeauxtours.

Eric's knowledge of NOLA is superb...

Eric's knowledge of New Orleans and Louisianna history was fantastic. It's a gentle ride of a tour and very flat and would suit anyone. The highlight for me was the cemetery visit.

History on a Bike in New Orleans

We had an excellent tour guided by Eric despite the incredible humid weather of mid July (as expected in NOLA.) The bikes were comfortable and we had a great pace riding and stopping in shaded areas to learn the history of NOLA and then explore other areas about the city. We learned about the background of Voodoo religion, had a great coffee stop (with some air conditioning), a cemetary stop with an education on the above ground crypts and ended in Treme with the history of the first free black city in America (1810!) Eric is a great historian and brings a passion to his tours providing insight into the history of the region. He is also a great citizen of the area showing hospitality to all the people we encountered along our tour. This was a great experience for my wife and I who were joined by two other sisters in their 20s. The ride was perfect for all of us.

Awesome Ride!

Eric provides the hands down best bicycle tour in New Orleans. This is my second excursion with him and he’s funny, informative, and his stories convey the love he has for his native city, its people, and its history. Absolutely the best guide you could cruise around town with.

Excellent riding tour around and beyond the French Quarter

We had a great time on our bike tour with Eric. We started in the French Quarter but than went on to other neighborhoods. Came to appreciate New Orleans eclectic past. Eric is friendly, casual and knowledgeable. And...he has great recommendations for dining.

Heart of the City - Downtown Bike Tour W/Eric.

My friends and I had an amazing experience with Eric, on the Heart of the City bike tour. Exploring the city by bike was such fun and a wonderful way to see different neighborhoods, while really getting a great feel for the beautiful city NOLA. The route was well planned, easy to ride, and covered areas you might not see on your own. Eric was knowledgeable, friendly and full of historic story from the past. He made frequent stops to point out landmarks and share local insights, which made the tour both informative and entertaining. You could his passion for his city. The pace was comfortable and we were able to stop for photos. The tour was a fantastic way to experience the heart of the city and soul of NOLA. Highly recommend this tour with Eric if you’re looking for an active, engaging way to explore the amazing city! Thank you again Eric for a great morning of biking and history!
