About this tour

See New Orleans beyond the French Quarter on a guided bike ride through neighborhoods rich in local character, striking architecture, and history. This 210-minute New Orleans French Quarter bike tour covers approximately 9 miles at a leisurely pace.

Begin in the Bywater and Marigny, where colorful streets and shotgun houses set the scene. Ride along oak-lined Esplanade Avenue, once known as “Creole Millionaires Row,” then continue past Faubourg Tremé into Faubourg St. John. In City Park, take a break and, if you like, purchase beignets and café au lait at Café du Monde. The route then follows Bayou Road, one of the oldest roads in the United States, before looping back through the historic French Quarter and Marigny.

A local guide shares a neighborhood perspective and points out places you may want to revisit. Your bicycle, helmet, and bottled water are provided, with a poncho available when it rains. Meet at Dr. Bob’s Folk Art, where the tour also ends. Book your New Orleans French Quarter bike tour for an easygoing way to discover the city beyond its best-known streets.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.95 from 21 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New Orleans
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.8. Top 25% in New Orleans means it ranks in the top 25% of tours in New Orleans by this score.
