Good to know
This suits food-curious visitors who want to taste authentic New Orleans cooking without the formality of a restaurant, and cyclists comfortable on city streets at a relaxed pace. No experience required — the pace is leisurely and all fitness levels are welcome. Come genuinely hungry; the tour packs in several tastings. Alcoholic drinks and soda aren't included, though water is. Allergies and dietary restrictions can be accommodated but must be flagged before booking. Infant seats are available. This isn't strenuous, but you'll be on a bike for 3 hours with food stops, so basic fitness helps. Peak times may draw bigger groups; book early if you prefer a more intimate ride.
