The heart of our city is seen through its many other historic neighborhoods, such as the beautiful Faubourg Marigny; and there is no better way to explore them than with New Orleans' original bicycle tour company. Join us as we take you for a bike ride around the old Creole neighborhoods and tell you the stories of the New Orleans that most tourists miss. The ride is relaxed, with plenty of time to ask questions, and a stop along the way at a neighborhood bar where you can find out all you want about local life while drinking a delicious Bloody Mary, if you like. For those who want to delve a little deeper, we offer a tasty Neighborhood Culinary Tour and a Historic Drinking Tour (where you get to indulge as you learn), all travelling through our streets like the locals do, on easy to ride classic cruiser bicycles. « less

This was our third tour with Confederacy of Cruisers. Loved the culinary tour!! Great food and our tour guide was also great - providing the history behind the cuisine of NOLA. I think that our visit to Elizabeth's was my favorite stop - Praline Bacon!! Love these tours because you see a part of the city that you may not... More

if youbare from a tourist town like orlando when you travel you try to avoid the "disney" feel and tourist traps. this tour is awesome for seeing real new orleans and eating at the local food joints. the tour was slow paced and informative. the food was even better. an incredible way to explore the city.

We (mom and 25-yr-old son) took Keith's bike tour of New Orleans. Comfy, clunky bikes. Very leisurely pace. Guide Keith Hurtt was smart, local and fun. I'd do it again, and highly recommend to everyone. Great fun!!

We took the Culinary Tour and the 9th Ward tours. Really, really wonderful way to see the city, meet people (so friendly it kinda made me a little embarrassed to be so uptight and Canadian), eat food, and learn a lot. Derek on the 9th Ward tour was dead funny, informed, opinionated (that's a good thing, believe me, I've suffered... More

We took the original creole tour and it was one of the highlights of our trip. It really was the best way to see different neighborhoods you just don't see otherwise, and to get away from the big tourist spots. Our tour guide was excellent- very knowledgeable and friendly. The pace is laid back which suited us just fine! We... More

This was a fun bike tour for us. There are a few tours to choose from: Creole -neighborhood history, cuisine, or drinking. We did the neighborhood history bike tour and really enjoyed it. It was a group of six and our tour guide, Laura. She is very knowledgeable and entertaining. We rode through the "French" neighborhoods that were quaint and... More
