Bicycle Tours
The City of New Orleans will be entering into Phase 2 of reopening this Saturday, June 13th. We will be operating tours, and our policy of advanced reservations is still in effect. The guide lines that we have to operate are as following:
Why take a bicycle tour during phase 2 of the city’s reopening?
During phase 2 tour buses and other vehicular tours are prohibited. That doesn’t mean you can’t see different neighborhoods in the city that a walking tour can’t get you too. A bicycle has always been the best way to explore New Orleans! Tour groups are limited to 7 people, by default you will be more than 6 feet away from others while riding, and as always we sanitize our bicycles and helmets after each use. Your safety is our #1 priority. We look forward to having you!!!

Until April 13th, the projected date to resume normal tour group sizes, we will only be open on a reservation basis. Our doors will be closed unless reservations for our bicycle tours or bicycle rentals are made in advance.
We have experienced unprecedented cancelations that has resulted in massive refunds. To help support small tour businesses during this economic downturn we ask that guest book directly via our websites. If you book with us you’re almost guaranteed to have a private tour. Third party sites take a 20-25% commission and really hurt our bottom line. Thanks for visiting our site and we look forward to introducing you to our city!
