Overview

This tour begins with a ride to the famous French Quarter, boasting nearly 300 years of history. Your fully licensed tour guide will take you to popular highlights in "the Quarter" and the Treme, including Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, Congo Square, along with some lesser-known gems, all while telling you fascinating stories about your surroundings. We then pedal to the charming oak-lined Garden District, stopping to admire the lavish historic homes of New Orleans, and talk about some of their most famous occupants. History, architecture, celebrities; this neighborhood has it all! Tour length: Approximately 9 mi. Paved Paradise Tours is a small, owner-operated company that provides a truly local perspective. When you ride with us you are riding with one of the owners, ensuring that your experience is of the highest quality. See the city through the eyes of someone who loves what they do, loves the City of New Orleans, and wants you to love it too.

Great cycle tour of New Orleans

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a great morning cycling with Erin around the city. Super comfy bikes. Erin was incredibly welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. We stopped at lots of places and got a very good overview of the city and its history. Erin also gave us lots of recommendations. So glad we did this tour on our first morning in New Orleans. Highly recommended.

Fun, Informational and Active!

We Loved our Paved Paradise Bike Tour. Tonya kept us moving and then had us pull over for a history-story lesson and a stroll while she watched our bikes. We went to a restaurant and a bar on her recommendation and felt like we had a little mental map of where we wanted to visit later.

Must Do!

The history and sights were well worth it! We saw most of the city and the ride was very easy. If in doubt, do it.
