A Fun Way to Explore New Orleans!
We had a great time on our Segway tour! Riding the Segways was a lot of fun and such a relaxing, easygoing way to see New Orleans and cover more of the city than we could have on foot. Our guide Rhen was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting information about the city. I’ve been to New Orleans many times, and I still learned something new, which is always the sign of a great tour and guide. Definitely a fun and unique way to experience the city!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Eric! We’re thrilled you had such a great time exploring New Orleans with us. We’ll definitely share your kind words with Ren, she’ll be so happy to hear them! It means a lot that even after visiting New Orleans many times, you were able to discover something new with us. We hope to see you riding with us again on your next visit! Le Tour NOLA Team 🛴⚜️

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Historic French Quarter Segway Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does Historic French Quarter Segway Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Orleans usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Historic French Quarter Segway Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Orleans is not rushed.
Is Historic French Quarter Segway Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 44 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Historic French Quarter Segway Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Historic French Quarter Segway Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Historic French Quarter Segway Tour?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Orleans can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Orleans and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Historic French Quarter Segway Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Orleans within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Orleans?
+
New Orleans runs on licensed guides, and it shows: the city requires certification for tour guides, so the floor is higher here than most US cities. Ghost and cemetery walks, French Quarter food crawls, plantation history day trips and swamp boat runs make up the bulk. We rank on whether the operator handles cemetery access properly, since St. Louis No. 1 needs an authorised guide. On Outty we rank every New Orleans experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation, New Orleans Adults-Only True Crime and Ghost Walking Tour, New Orleans Garden District History Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Orleans?
+
February to May and October to November. August is heat and storm season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Orleans?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Historic French Quarter Segway Tour?
+
Included: Segway use; On site Training; Helmet; and Tour Guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Historic French Quarter Segway Tour?
+
Your guide will meet you on the sidewalk in front of 1024 Elysian Fields Avenue. ⚠️ Important: ✅ Do not block security gates. ✅ Do not knock on any doors. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Historic French Quarter Segway Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Historic French Quarter Segway Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Historic French Quarter Segway Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Historic French Quarter Segway Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Historic French Quarter Segway Tour?
+
