Overview

When Louisiana was purchased by the United States in 1803 the dynamics of the city began to shift. Trace the journey of American settlement in a foreign French Creole world. As we journey into the Uptown American Sector, we stop to learn about the uptown innovators who created Jazz at the Rampart-Perdido Corridor. From there you're off to learn about the Garden Districts evolution from a sugar plantation through its development after the Louisiana Purchase into the extravagant faubourg that you see today. Trees that grow Mardi Gras beads, American history, antebellum mansions, Lafayette Cemetery #1, and a charm that only our city can bestow on its visitors. Join us on this urban adventure through one of the most majestic neighborhoods in New Orleans! Traffic Level: Heart of the City: Light Creole Odyssey: Moderate American Adventure: Heavy

Barrett was amazing!! Hands down the best tour guide we have had on our father daughter trips over the years. He keep the history alive and entertaining the entire trip. His ability to keep us laughing and depth of knowledge was bar none! Would take an another tour with him five days a week if we could!

Lower Garden District Tour

Published on Nov, 2022

Barrett was an A-mazing tour guide! His wealth of historical knowledge and his enthusiasm make the tour so enjoyable. We toured the Lower Garden District. Highlights were seeing Peyton Manning's childhood home and actress Sandra Bullock's mansion.

An exceptional bike tour

Published on Feb, 2022

We had a great time. Lots of great history told in a fun captivating way. We were lucky enough to have Barrett as our guide. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience New Orleans in an entertaining and unique way. Top notch tour - worth every penny.

Fantastic Bike Tour Family with Teens

Published on Jan, 2022

This tour exceeded our expectations. Barrett was so knowledgeable and his delivery of the information was so engaging for us and our teenage daughters alike. He was so mindful of keeping our girls engaged the entire time. We learned so many interesting facts about New Orleans while having a fantastic time. Hands down our favorite part of our three day getaway to Nola! Thanks Barrett!
