Good to know
This works well for anyone curious about how New Orleans' distinctive culture—its music, food, art and social traditions—grew from centuries of history. Families with young children are welcome (infant seats available), and there's no fitness barrier since riding is slow and flat. Note that a drink stop is built in but refreshments cost extra; you're not expected to buy anything. The tour moves at a conversational pace, so it's not suited to high-speed cycling. Service animals are permitted. Nearby public transport links are available if you need them. Group size and exact start times aren't specified; confirm those when booking.
