A Relaxed, Small-Group Way to Experience New Orleans

From our French Quarter location just a block from Bourbon Street, we offer small-group bike and e-bike tours plus flexible rentals for visitors who want to see more of New Orleans without overcomplicating the day.

Buzz NOLA is especially helpful for visitors enjoying New Orleans without a car. If you are staying in or near the French Quarter, Downtown, or the CBD, it often makes more sense to skip the rental car, avoid parking hassles, and explore the city through guided rides, flexible bike rentals, walkable neighborhoods, and practical local advice from our shop.

Great for couples, adult travelers, and families with grown kids, our rides are designed to be fun, easy, and well worth the time. Prefer to explore on your own? Rent a bike and enjoy more of the city at your own pace, from the French Quarter to City Park, the Marigny, and beyond.

Our Tours

Our guided e-bike tours make it easy to cover more ground and enjoy more of the city without wearing yourself out. Our classic pedal bike tours move at a relaxed pace that gives you more time to enjoy the details, stories, and charm that make New Orleans special. 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.

Featured Signature Experience

Between the Waters is a private premium arrival experience from Kenner to the French Quarter for one or two guests. Instead of losing part of your first day waiting around for check-in, you can begin your visit with a scenic guided ride shaped by lakefront, bayou, and the historic corridor into old New Orleans.

We transport your luggage separately to our French Quarter shop and store it there until later check-in, making this a practical and memorable option for travelers who want to turn arrival day into part of the vacation.
