We begin with a tour of St. Joseph’s Cemetery, where your guide will tell you of the unique burial traditions and celebrations in our “cities of the dead”. You'll then roll under the shade of the live oak trees in the Garden District. You will marvel at the beautiful mansions owned by wealthy merchants of the past and celebrities of the present. Your guide will tell you stories of not only the residents but also the people who built these amazing houses. Time permitting, we will cruise through the Irish Channel to see its colorful shotgun houses, neighborhood restaurants, and hole-in-the-wall po’boy shops. Paved Paradise Tours is a small, owner-operated company that provides a truly local perspective. When you ride with us you are riding with one of the owners, ensuring that your experience is of the highest quality. See the city through the eyes of someone who loves what they do, loves the City of New Orleans, and wants you to love it too.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the bike tour? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids can definitely join the bike tour! Generally, they recommend that kids be at least 10 years old to handle the bike comfortably. It's a great experience for families, but just make sure your kids are confident riders. Always best to check with the tour provider if you have younger ones in mind!

Q: What happens if it rains? Do they cancel the tour?

A: They do run in rain, but they provide ponchos for everyone. If the weather's really bad, they might reschedule the tour for you. It's best to check with them a day before your tour to confirm anything!

Q: How difficult is the bike ride? I'm not super fit.

A: The bike ride is pretty easy! Most of it is flat, and the pace is relaxed. You’ll have breaks to explore and hear stories from the guide. If you can ride a bike, you’ll be just fine. And the scenery makes it all worth it!

Just did the Garden District and Cemetery Bike Tour! Here's my take.

I just got back from the New Orleans Garden District and Cemetery bike tour with Paved Paradise and wow, it was amazing! The cemetery is super unique, and our guide shared some wild stories about the burial traditions. Riding through the Garden District was a treat with all those beautiful mansions under the live oaks. The whole experience felt so local and genuine. Totally recommend it for anyone looking for a fun, relaxed way to explore NOLA!

Considering the bike tour for a gift! Any thoughts?

I’m thinking about getting the Garden District bike tour for my sister’s birthday. She loves history and biking but hasn’t been to New Orleans yet. Is it a good gift or should I look at something else? Also, how long does the tour usually last?
