BuZz Nawlins With Us

Locally owned, powered by passion, and dedicated to helping guests see the city the way we do: slowly, beautifully, and with heart...

From our home base in the French Quarter just a block from Bourbon Street, we lead small-group bike and e-bike tours that reveal the city’s charm, history, and soul. Prefer to explore on your own? Rent a bike! We'll give you the tools to discover the Big Easy's hidden corners on your own, from City Park to the Marigny and beyond.

Our Tours

Our guided e-bike tours put a tail wind into your pedal stroke, allowing you to glide effortlessly across neighborhoods and cover more ground. Our classic pedal bike tours move a bit more like a slow southern drawl, allowing you to hang a little longer on each little nuance of New Orleans' history and charm. We also offer private and group tours for celebrations and team outings and are happy to recommend and coordinate swamp tours and plantation excursions with trusted partners.

Our Rentals

Every rental includes a helmet, lock, and detailed map with our favorite routes. Choose an electric bike for easy cruising or a classic cruiser for a traditional ride through the Quarter.

Ride Easy, Rain or Shine

We keep things simple so you can focus on fun. Small groups, friendly guides, and flexible rescheduling mean every ride is relaxed and memorable. You bring the curiosity; we’ll handle the rest.

“The perfect blend of local storytelling and adventure.”
