Nearby, you’d pass the Mississippi Riverfront, with views of the steamboats and lively riverwalk. The tour would also take you down Royal Street and Bourbon Street, where you’d experience the contrast between elegant art galleries, antique shops, and the world-famous nightlife.

Favorite Nola tour
We took the tour on 7/26 with Ren. She allowed us to rebook from an earlier date that had rain. Very accommodating. This was by far our favorite experience in New Orleans. Don’t think twice…just book it! Bonus…she recommended a dinner spot and that was also our favorite. 10/10.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're so happy you enjoyed your tour with Ren and that we were able to help you reschedule around the weather. It means a lot to hear that this was your favorite experience in New Orleans, and we're thrilled the dinner recommendation was a hit too! Thank you for trusting us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Segway adventure the next time you're in NOLA! Safe travels!

Segway is the easiest most fun way to see all of the French Quarter!
Segway is the best way to see the French Quarter! It's so easy and fun, even at 70 years we both had no problem. Ren was amazing! She gave us good training and we started slow but quickly became very comfortable with it. We covered everything from the Saint Louis Cathedral to the Riverwalk to Bourbon and Royal St. Ren gave us great History and stories, she was very knowledgeable. We loved it, segway is the best way to see it all!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Sharon! 😊 We absolutely loved having you with us, and it means so much to hear that you enjoyed the experience. Ren will be very happy to hear your kind words! At Segway Tours New Orleans we truly believe Segway is one of the best ways to explore the French Quarter comfortably, have fun, and learn the city’s history along the way ⚜️ We hope to see you again on your next visit to New Orleans!

Why this scores 65
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 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 38 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 13 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 Swamp Tour Boat Adventure, New Orleans Self-Transport Swamp and Bayou Boat 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.
