American Adventure: Uptown Bike Tour in New Orleans

American Adventure: Uptown Bike Tour in New Orleans

Overview

When Louisiana was purchased by the United States in 1803 the dynamics of the city began to shift. Trace the journey of American settlement in a foreign French Creole world. As we journey into the Uptown American Sector, we stop to learn about the uptown innovators who created Jazz at the Rampart-Perdido Corridor.

From there you're off to learn about the Garden Districts evolution from a sugar plantation through its development after the Louisiana Purchase into the extravagant faubourg that you see today. Trees that grow Mardi Gras beads, American history, antebellum mansions, Lafayette Cemetery #1, and a charm that only our city can bestow on its visitors.

Join us on this urban adventure through one of the most majestic neighborhoods in New Orleans!

Barrett was an A-mazing tour guide! His wealth of historical knowledge and his enthusiasm make the tour so enjoyable. We toured the Lower Garden District. Highlights were seeing Peyton Manning's childhood home and actress Sandra Bullock's mansion.

This tour exceeded our expectations. Barrett was so knowledgeable and his delivery of the information was so engaging for us and our teenage daughters alike. He was so mindful of keeping our girls engaged the entire time. We learned so many interesting facts about New Orleans while having a fantastic time. Hands down our favorite part of our three day getaway to Nola! Thanks Barrett!
