About this experience
New Orleans is known for eating, drinking, dancing, costuming and parading, along with a whole bunch more things that make us unique, including our need to share with everyone what we love about our home.
On this tour we will cover the drinks from 300 our French, Caribbean, African and Immigrant culture that is imprinted in our street life. We will bike the colorful streets together, telling the stories that make us who we are.
How we drink is different than most visitors think, while we have no problem with the lovely chaos of Bourbon Street, that is not us. We are in bars hundreds of years old, drinking drinks that predate all of us. Our shirts remain on, even when we do get rambunctious. It is a social thing to us.
Join us on a ride that lets you taste our city, as we pedal through the areas we can all enjoy together leaving you ready and centered for further New Orleans adventures.
