Who else is better qualified to show you New Orleans than the people whose family, in 1696, cut their way through a mosquito infested swamp in order to establish what would become the world famous City of New Orleans?
Both versions of our 'Creole' tour (pedal & electric) showcase the original settlement of New Orleans - from the French Quarter, down Esplanade Ave. to city park, and back again to the French Quarter through the neighborhoods of Bayou St. John and Treme.

30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeAlso known as, 'The Avenue of the Creoles' or Millionaires Row', we ride this 4+ mile stretch from it' beginning to our stop in city park. Along the way we see mansions of the old Creole aristocracy and here stories about who these were/are and their influence on New Orleans culture and society. This portion of the tour also stops at, 'Gayerre Place' to see the decorative monument, 'Peace, the Genius of History.'Frenchmen Street
