Fan-freakin-TASTIC!! Back in 2016, my new hubs and I (we'd just gotten married in NOLA) decided to…read moretake a bike tour...and that experience had us encouraging our friends who joined us in NOLA this past week...to go take a bike tour! Back then? Danny was our guide...this time? Danny was our guide! Not only did we learn a lot of fascinating facts, the cruise time was just FUN. Not particularly difficult (the route is pretty flat), bike tours are always a great way to "meet" a city. Why? You're getting an eye level view of the place you're visiting, but people like Danny? They are true ambassadors for a city. It's so clear that he not only knows his stuff, he clearly loves the city - and its history - so much. We did the Creole history tour, but I have ZERO doubt that when we return, we'll see these guys again - and probably do the Culinary Tour next time! And by the way? As he sent us on our way, Danny also did us the solid of suggesting some local joints for music and such. To be honest? The city ought to bottle Danny and his energy - he's an absolute credit to the magic that NOLA really is.

Book it! We took a tour in late May with our family of 8. This was both our first time doing a bike tour and their first time doing a "family with six young kids" tour. Jeff hit it out of the park! They were so accommodating, even letting us borrow his sweet daughter's tag-along bike for the ride. We loved the ride through the historic neighborhood of New Orleans. At each stop Jeff fed us a bit more history in an exciting way that was interesting to all of us, ages 4 to 45 (the 2 year old was just there for the ride). My kids learned about shotgun houses, hurricane Katrina and its impact on New Orleans, the Mississippi River, Cajun vs. Creole, why everything is so colorful in NOLA, art/music in NOLA culture, and many many other things. Our tour ended with a stop at Lorettas, where we ate the best beignets of our trip (and we tried multiple!). The tour was so fun and engaging I could not believe three hours had already gone by. On our two week summer roadtrip, we took a lot of tours. This one was the most expensive tour (which is definitely a factor for us), but I'm so glad we did it. We got to see a side to New Orleans we never would have otherwise. Beyond the tour, we loved the bike ride itself so much I'm now home and scouring the internet for used adult and tag-along bikes so we can all ride around our own city. If you're looking for a kid-friendly activity in New Orleans that's fun for you too, you've found it. Two thumbs up to Confederacy of Cruisers bike tours!

We purchased the gold package that includes the Historic Architecture Tour, the brunch at…read moreAntoine's, and the Home & Courtyard tour. Our volunteer tour guide fabulously navigated us through the French Quarter, and despite the rain, shared great info on the particulars of Creole cottages and other structures. The guided tour was about 1.5 hours and ended at Antoine's for brunch. Brunch for the tour was in one of the back rooms at a community table for about 16 people. In short, we were away from the live music, it was a fixed menu for everyone, and (get this!!!) coffee was not offered. At BRUNCH, really??? Quite unbelievable, but yes, we requested it twice (before the meal) and the server never brought it, even when dessert was served. Would have gladly purchased it at their cash bar had it been available. We left Antoine's early in search of a great cup of coffee which we found at Brennen's, yay! French-pressed, it was awesome. Aside from this, the food at Antoine's was very good - I'll do a separate Yelp review on the food. Fortunately our Spring Fiesta day ended on a high note with the Home and Courtyard tour of five homes. Though self-guided, the tour was well-organized; a few of the owners were at home to host the tour. Again, we learned fascinating tidbits about each of the homes. Bottom line, if I had to do this over again, I would have purchased the tours alacarte, and would have made my own reservations at Antoine's, apart from the Spring Fiesta, for 1) a table in one of the front rooms with live music; 2) the opportunity to choose from a menu; and 3) a better chance at a cup of coffee to accompany our brunch, lol. Spring Fiesta is sponsored by a non-profit organization that is dedicated to the cultural preservation of the area.

We were happy to find that we were in town for the historic home tour. We truly wanted to get a…read moreglimpse lof how the people that live in the quarter truly live. 25 bux each, we its a non profit. Being from Phoenix we have a small historic heritage and very much love old homes. We thought the courtyards were amazing and beautiful. We learned a few things and visited one home of a realtor that had an amazing balcony and so many windows and natural light in the main living area we totally got the whole city living idea. We only got to see 5 homes on the self guided tour and many of the homes had the upstairs blocked off , or more than half of the properties living quarters closed to the tour. I can understand that, I had a home on tour in Phoenix and its ALOT of work to clean and put away valuable and have your home staffed. The other disappointing factor was how little period character the interior of the homes still had intact. The crown moldings were all there and detailed doors, but we were just expecting more of this historic tour. The city has done a great job enforcing the exteriors to remain period, but interiors of the homes have been altered so much much of the character and charm is long gone.I know its not a museum but a home. Thank you homeowners for allowing us into your abodes. We see how you bring the outside courtyards as an extension to your living area. I know this is alot of work for everyone that participated and I understand its hard to get homeowners to participate. Many thanks Spring Fiesta

I booked a tour for my kids and I, called to confirm (proof on my phone), got an email receipt. We woke up early, got ready and NOTHING. They never booked us. They're a 3rd party that books people on other company tours. They said we slipped through the crack. Then tried to blame me and insinuate that I didn't confirm my reservation. Then they claimed to have sent my refund, but nothing has come. Filing a claim with my bank. DON'T BOOK WITH THEM!!! Imagine a bus of people turning around to drop you back off because the tour company made a mistake! Last day here and they ruined the experience for us.

I finally took a tour of New Orleans on this last visit, and I don't know why I didn't do it on all…read moremy trips to the big easy. Actually I do know why. I wasn't ready to see post Katrina but it was humbling. I bought several, including the swamp tour. Nothing special there unfortunately, the crocs were small and docile, and I wasn't really impressed by the guides knowledge of the bayou. However, this review is on the Katrina tour itself. After being driving all around the different local parishes (counties) and in and out of the local spots, we finally ended up in the 9th ward of New Orleans. The devastation is evident right when you enter the lower portion of the 9th ward. Yes, our unit took volunteers to go down to Nawleans when Katrina hit to help out and now looking back, it's even more heartbreaking. The aftermath still brings tears to my eyes, seeing all the carnage left by mother nature is a humbling experience. As I stood there in the middle of a neighborhood which used to house generations of families, I watched in awe how much life can literally be taken in an instant. It was like standing in the middle of frozen time taking in a moment to pause as you stand on grounds of a living memorial. The guide for this portion was from the neighborhood and provided rich insight into what went down. He was choking up a little too as he told stories of the devastation and who could blame him? Why does it always take something bad to bring out the best in people? Overall, I learned so much about the history, culture, and way of the local people affected in the lower 9th ward. I would definitely recommend this tour and go back in a heartbeat. It's a cheap investment into learning about the people, the true people of New Orleans who's lives will never be the same. The end of this tour was into the rebuilding area where new homes and neighborhoods are being constructed. Many of them are beautiful as well as functional. For instance, the bottoms of the homes are similar to the hull shape of any ship you recognize and they are lifted off the ground so that if another flood comes in, the raise home will float to safety somewhere. And most of the homes were thanks to Mr. Brad Pitt so kudos to him for being a local ambassador. Go on this tour, please. It's a roller coaster of emotions, it's a learning experience, and you'll be a local expert of the city of New Orleans, not just the 9th ward, but you'll experience a life lesson in jazz, blues, rock & roll, famous people's homes, and just plain feel good about yourself.
