This was soooo cool....You three need ya'll own tv show....This is awesome...So much history....I learn something every time I watch...keep the videos coming...I love seeing your videos pop up on my RUclips feed...💞💞💞💞
Robi, don't worry.. My legs are spaghetti-ized just from WATCHING you guys ride so far on the bikes. 😂 Thanks, guys, for another fantastic vid! Entertaining and informative. With the panDAMic keeping me away from my beloved New Orleans for nearly two years now (EEEK! 😱), I'm watching your vids to get a fix and soothe my soul. 🥰 I'm hitting the tip jar now. And I encourage everyone to do the same! These guys are working hard for us! 💜 Make a beautiful day! ✌️
What a great tour! Andrew and Robi have such a great rapport and the amount of history they manage to communicate without it turning into a lecture is amazing! Not forgetting James with the great skills on the camera too! :D
I biked along the Mississippi River path when I was on the Southern Tier bike route across the country, and I thought that industrial area was fascinating. And to have the path just go right under all those pipes was insane and interesting to me!

Thank you for the great informative video. I learn so much by watching your videos each time. Robi always keeps it 100, and I love that about him.

Another great one, guys! I always learn something fascinating from your videos and the visuals are awesome, too. I have to say, I love old houses about as much as anyone can, but often when we go on tours my husband and I have a conversation afterwards about how the tour guide seemed to feel duty-bound to canonize the original builder of the house. Even here up north where people weren't enslaved, it's a bit cringey. Am I interested in who built it? Yeah. Do I think he/she/they were saints who blessed us with their lives just because they had a ton of money and built a big fancy house (more often than not to show up some rival across town's big fancy house)? Eh, not so much. What makes old buildings so fascinating is all the humanity and history that they've witnessed, not just the credentials of the few rich people who built them. I love that you always expand on the basics of a location and give us a view of that humanity. Cheers!
First time catching a great video. I am from the West Bank and so much of New Orleans I did not know you guys have nourished me with Knowledge. Thank you! I have family all through the Mississippi River living near Oak Alley Plantation. Sending love and light!

Andrew and Robi - thank you for another fantastic video! What a great idea taking it on the road (of should we say trail). Loved all the spots you chose to highlight and most appreciative of all the research it must have taken. Cant wait for part 2!
It's interesting to hear the history from folks who are dedicated to real history and history of all people. I doubt I'll have the opportunity to travel so far, so this video is really expanding my view.

Robi! you blessed me with that story of the slaves throwing acorns into the grave of the master. I love Black history but I never heard that story. I love learning about the daily acts of rebellion slaves did because they are often not mentioned leaving ppl to think slaves either ran away or remained docile. The history of poisoning their masters, self-defense, spiritual lives, etc. are rarely shared.
Love your presentations. I’ve rode the whole bike path from Narco all the way to the Fly too. It was amazing. Now I want to go back & do it again after this show.

Robi and Andrew, thank you for the outstanding bike tour on the Mississippi River Levee. Your video helped me to revisit my early childhood days. Having been raised in Shrewsbury, your tour gave me a chance to view the sights of yesteryear. My parents, relatives, and many friends are all buried in Ross Church Cemetery(Parapet Cemetery). As a college student, I worked in the Levee Lounge Restaurant at Marsalis Mansion. I grew up with Yvette and Ellis Marsalis, Jr. May you continue to produce informative and quality videos. I would like to TIP by postal mail.

Awesome. We did a small part of this trail walking. We took the streetcar to Carrollton. Had lunch there. Then walked back to the Zoo area along the river trail. It was a great walk. Great to see where this trail went, further up. Thanks to you, Robi and James.
Y'all are amazing. Thank you. I brought my French copain to New Orleans because it was on his hit list of must see places in the US. He also was under the delusion that everybody spoke French-LOL. We spent a day doing a plantation tour which included Oak Alley & Nottoway. I remember being so disappointed in the lack of information about the slave labor that made all of this possible back in the day. Being raised in the South I was too polite to ask about this omission or make any kind of issue. Alain was totally ignorant on the issue of slavery in the US, so it was hard to discuss any of this with him. Your inclusion of this important part of the history of this area is a much needed addition to the romantic stories of Plantation Life which in no way resemble the true history. Please keep doing what you are doing.
Great job , guys!!! Loved the scenary and the brain food...I rented a bike and rode the levy in Algiers but it was nothing like this. I did relish in the fact that you can get a to go cup at The Crown and Anchor Bar in Algiers and take it with you on your bike ride...now that is a bike ride....when you get to St. Francisville , we will need to see lots of pics of the the two of you growing up and I hope we get to meet some of your kin folks...🎯💯👍🥇🏆🙌🦄

Love that y’all rode bikes to take in all thats missed by driving. In Iowa we have a ride called “The Registers Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa” or ragbrai started by the Des Moines news group The Register... it starts on the Missouri river and ends on the Mississippi with a different route each year, and is the largest touring ride in the world always in the last full week of July. 400-500 miles on average and 7 days long with stops nightly in town who bid for the 10-20k rider ride to stop there. I have completed 15 so I understand the importance of taking in natural beauty by bike! Great video as always, can’t wait for the next episode. Sending venmo love! Y’all need to get rode bikes instead of the cross trainers, even though you’re flat down there, it would help Robi with the long ride lol! Thanks again guys!
Glad that you enjoyed the video. You can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans ruclips.net/p/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2. Happy viewing.
This is so interesting! Thank you so much for doing this. I live in NOLA and learned so much i didnt know. I'm going to do this bike ride in the fall. Its great to see you Robi- we miss seeing you at Mr Gregories. Love, Amy and Tangie the big pit bull
NOLADEEJ sent me.. Y'all are awesome. Many thanks as I am moving close by next month..I will be living about an hour drive from N.O. and I am a history buff..
I enjoy all of your videos, being a history buff myself, it is very enlightening and entertaining to watch your videos! It was also because of Robi, that I made a few visits to his brothers shop on Bourbon street! My lady and I had contemplated moving to New Orleans, because we fell in love with it years ago. Is it possible to do a video about the safest neighborhoods, cost, as well as the pros and cons of living their?! Some of the other videos I have seen on living there, has been a little depressing, because all they pointed out were the negative points, due to their own experiences. Thank you and keep up the good work!!! 💯💯💯
Somehow I knew Robi would be tired 😜. So would I lol. I guess those motorized bikes can be turned on and off when you want so you can cycle and when tired turn the motor on.
A friend and I took this same ride in 1980. We went as far as the spillway and had numerous flat tires while biking on the levee as there was no bike path there at the time, only a white shell or dirt trail.
Hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans ruclips.net/p/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2. Andrew narrates most of our videos.
I am convinced that the only way to share your history where it involves tragedy or hardship is that there is a modicum of honour or pride NOT shame. SHAME will keep you from talking about your history, trust me I know! Kudos to you both, just found your channel and I so appreciate it! Thinking about moving to Saint Francisville XO

I really appreciate your insight into what each plantation offers the visitor. I will be visiting New Orleans again in March 2022. I already have my Amtrak ticket! I have tentatively planned to take a plantation tour. I haven't decided which one yet. Your comments will help me decide. Could you provide a recommendation on which tour company or companies provide a better experience overall? (I know a lot will depend on the particular guide but any guidance is appreciated.)
Glad you are returning to this lovely place. We have a post on plantation tours freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-plantation-tours/. It's hard to recommend one over the other because each has its particular strengths. In the post above we also have more in-depth posts on each plantation. Hope this helps.

We were just in New Orleans for a few days. Got away from the tourist areas a few times and really enjoyed that much more. Next time we will take this levee ride. Also I would like to go to the areas south of the city like Venice or Grand Isle. Maybe you can do a video on the history of those areas.
Great video! I’m not local. Is there a certain bike company that you would suggest so I can bike this same path. Maybe something close to where I can start the path. Thank you for any suggestions and keep the videos coming! ❤️

@@FreeToursbyFootHQ Super. Thanks. I want to rent a bike for my upcoming trip and I hate those bixi bikes, they're no good for tall people (seat is too short). You guys have pretty much got New Orleans covered with your videos (you even went to Algier's Point), except maybe one on Vieux Métarie, with those opulent houses (though I prefer the Garden District).
I love you both! Robi you really love your spirit, your spirit transmits through the screen and makes me want to visit. You add so much hot sauce to this channel! I am touched by the information you bring us, thank you so much! And just to add, I would rather hear uncomfortable details about slavery than from Hollywood-en movies backed from people who control the agenda on how the stories of history are told. Great narrative about taking action to make a change aligning to your relaying of historic details. The development of Cancer Alley is disgusting and tells the story about money grubbing land grabbers who don't get that we belong to the Earth-the Earth does not belong to us!!! They have been taking over the world, Corporation's over people's lives makes Government a sham!
Hey, love you guys together. Interesting fact about the slaves throwing acorns into the grave. Will now look at Oak trees differently. They are so majestic and beautiful.
Because they are two likable young men :) Thanks for watching, Caitlin! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please do share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
Wow that was great!! I was in NOLA for Christmas in 2014. We spent Christmas eve at the SanFransisco Plantation. Is it possible to see that one? Also will you be mentioning Bonfires on the Mississippi for Christmas. Loves your channel and will be sending money when I get back to work from covid. As I am in Canada unfortunately there is no way to visit now.😔
People who had slaves were rich -- not that many rich folks though -- most of the population in the south were farmers and could barely get by - let alone buying a slave -- so don't judge the people of the south because of a few misguided rich dudes --- and - not all of them were bad ---- from the proud state of Arkansas --- descendant of poor white farmers -- did you know there were also white slaves -- and some freed black men was given some land - they became rich and bought themselves slaves ----
Wow❤ if I would have known of your channel last year before going to New Orleans . I would sure visit some of the places outside New Orleans . ❤ visit Oak Alley Plantation.

Awesome. I don’t think a cycling route could have more historical tidbits than this. Old cities have deep roots
Followed all videos. Great job . Humor from both of you is great.
Glad you like them!

The Oak Tree and The Acorn story is priceless! Thank You for that Robi.
From Brooklyn. So enjoyable. You both work so well together and have great knowledge. Please more tours. Been trying to get to New Orleans for centuries.As my elders would say"Raised Right" to each of you. Time for a nice train ride from NY to New Orleans. Take care and stay safe.

Thx. Will do.
Awesome. We did a small part of this trail walking. We took the streetcar to Carrollton. Had lunch there. Then walked back to the Zoo area along the river trail. It was a great walk. Great to see where this trail went, further up. Thanks to you, Robi and James.
Y'all are amazing. Thank you. I brought my French copain to New Orleans because it was on his hit list of must see places in the US. He also was under the delusion that everybody spoke French-LOL. We spent a day doing a plantation tour which included Oak Alley & Nottoway. I remember being so disappointed in the lack of information about the slave labor that made all of this possible back in the day. Being raised in the South I was too polite to ask about this omission or make any kind of issue. Alain was totally ignorant on the issue of slavery in the US, so it was hard to discuss any of this with him. Your inclusion of this important part of the history of this area is a much needed addition to the romantic stories of Plantation Life which in no way resemble the true history. Please keep doing what you are doing.
We will keep on keeping on!
Great job , guys!!! Loved the scenary and the brain food...I rented a bike and rode the levy in Algiers but it was nothing like this. I did relish in the fact that you can get a to go cup at The Crown and Anchor Bar in Algiers and take it with you on your bike ride...now that is a bike ride....when you get to St. Francisville , we will need to see lots of pics of the the two of you growing up and I hope we get to meet some of your kin folks...🎯💯👍🥇🏆🙌🦄
My new fav YT channel! Thank you for great content. 👏👏👏

Thanks
Thank you so much, Leslie.
When I lived in NOLA on St Mary St. 45 years ago, Audubon Park was my favorite place to hang out on my day off!
You need to come back and revisit!
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ . I AM!! Im bringing my daughter who was an infant/toddler then and my 18 year old grandson & his friend ( Seniors at Santa Fe Indian School) for a " Graduation Trip". I'm sure much has changed but some will always be the same! ♡ Cant wait!!!
@@nmjbug111 Great. Have fun. I hope we can show you around on some of our walking tours when you are here.
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ . Absolutely. Of course they want to tour a cemetery. I will take them around Vieux Carrie, French Market, Garden District where I lived, Audubon Park, Louis Armstrong Park & perhaps Lake Pontchartrain (?). We'll stay at Palace De Armes. Is late September a decent time to visit? ( hurricane season...lol!)
@@nmjbug111 September is awesome if there are no hurricanes or tropical storms :). We have a post on September that needs updating but can give you an idea of what might be happening then freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-in-september/.
I'm glad you did this... I'd never make it, lol!! Great video!
We posted a link to your Kenner video in the description (and here) ruclips.net/video/_Zd9jBMBXfw/видео.html.
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ right on! Thanks so much!!
Love that y’all rode bikes to take in all thats missed by driving. In Iowa we have a ride called “The Registers Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa” or ragbrai started by the Des Moines news group The Register... it starts on the Missouri river and ends on the Mississippi with a different route each year, and is the largest touring ride in the world always in the last full week of July. 400-500 miles on average and 7 days long with stops nightly in town who bid for the 10-20k rider ride to stop there. I have completed 15 so I understand the importance of taking in natural beauty by bike! Great video as always, can’t wait for the next episode. Sending venmo love! Y’all need to get rode bikes instead of the cross trainers, even though you’re flat down there, it would help Robi with the long ride lol! Thanks again guys!
*Road bikes 🤭
Thanks for the reply, Michael, and for sharing the info about the Iowa bike rides. That sounds daunting but fun. And thanks for the Venmo love!
Fabulous video
Many many thanks.
Just discovered your videos, y'all are great, providing interesting info along the way! Will def check out some more.
Glad that you enjoyed the video. You can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans ruclips.net/p/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2. Happy viewing.
This is so interesting! Thank you so much for doing this. I live in NOLA and learned so much i didnt know. I'm going to do this bike ride in the fall. Its great to see you Robi- we miss seeing you at Mr Gregories. Love, Amy and Tangie the big pit bull
NOLADEEJ sent me.. Y'all are awesome. Many thanks as I am moving close by next month..I will be living about an hour drive from N.O. and I am a history buff..
Love this! Thanks guys! 👍👍👍
Our pleasure, Sabrina. Please do share us with anyone you think might also enjoy our videos. We would really appreciate that.
AWESOME VIDEOS YALL I WAS BORN IN NEW ORLEANS AND I USED TO ENJOY RIDING MY BIKE ALL OVER DOWN TOWN AND UPTOWN GOOD OLD DAYS😊👍😇
Glad you enjoyed it, Devin. Please do share us with anyone you think might also enjoy our videos.
when are you doing part 2. i just moved to NOLA and looking for good Scenic trails
I enjoy all of your videos, being a history buff myself, it is very enlightening and entertaining to watch your videos! It was also because of Robi, that I made a few visits to his brothers shop on Bourbon street! My lady and I had contemplated moving to New Orleans, because we fell in love with it years ago. Is it possible to do a video about the safest neighborhoods, cost, as well as the pros and cons of living their?! Some of the other videos I have seen on living there, has been a little depressing, because all they pointed out were the negative points, due to their own experiences.
Thank you and keep up the good work!!! 💯💯💯
One of our tour guides is also a real estate agent and we are working on videos that might just satisfy your curiosity.
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ That sounds wonderful. I appreciate the information.
Wonderful !!!

You guys are yhe best!!!
I Love this!!
Somehow I knew Robi would be tired 😜. So would I lol. I guess those motorized bikes can be turned on and off when you want so you can cycle and when tired turn the motor on.
A friend and I took this same ride in 1980. We went as far as the spillway and had numerous flat tires while biking on the levee as there was no bike path there at the time, only a white shell or dirt trail.
The Narrator is excellent and easy on the eye ;)

I am convinced that the only way to share your history where it involves tragedy or hardship is that there is a modicum of honour or pride NOT shame. SHAME will keep you from talking about your history, trust me I know! Kudos to you both, just found your channel and I so appreciate it! Thinking about moving to Saint Francisville XO

@@FreeToursbyFootHQ thank u I will do a tour with yall.
I really appreciate your insight into what each plantation offers the visitor. I will be visiting New Orleans again in March 2022. I already have my Amtrak ticket! I have tentatively planned to take a plantation tour. I haven't decided which one yet. Your comments will help me decide.
Could you provide a recommendation on which tour company or companies provide a better experience overall? (I know a lot will depend on the particular guide but any guidance is appreciated.)
Glad you are returning to this lovely place. We have a post on plantation tours freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-plantation-tours/. It's hard to recommend one over the other because each has its particular strengths. In the post above we also have more in-depth posts on each plantation. Hope this helps.

We were just in New Orleans for a few days. Got away from the tourist areas a few times and really enjoyed that much more. Next time we will take this levee ride. Also I would like to go to the areas south of the city like Venice or Grand Isle. Maybe you can do a video on the history of those areas.
Great video! I’m not local. Is there a certain bike company that you would suggest so I can bike this same path. Maybe something close to where I can start the path. Thank you for any suggestions and keep the videos coming! ❤️
Thanks for watching, Dina. I've forwarded your message to someone who should be able to help.

I will be staying in Kenner for a few nights while in the area to visit plantations. Is there a good bike rental shop nearby?
Is the Mississippi River trail complete?
Can I ride from say, Wisconsin to New Orleans??
No wonder Robi's legs feel like spaghetti, he's in the wrong gear!
Can you guys recommend a good place to rent a bike ?
Hi Thomas, thanks for watching. We have a post that can help you with that freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-bike-tours/
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ Super. Thanks. I want to rent a bike for my upcoming trip and I hate those bixi bikes, they're no good for tall people (seat is too short). You guys have pretty much got New Orleans covered with your videos (you even went to Algier's Point), except maybe one on Vieux Métarie, with those opulent houses (though I prefer the Garden District).
What kind of bike was James riding to get them angles
Not sure. I'll pass this on to him. He was using a drone even for low flying shots.
I love you both! Robi you really love your spirit, your spirit transmits through the screen and makes me want to visit. You add so much hot sauce to this channel! I am touched by the information you bring us, thank you so much! And just to add, I would rather hear uncomfortable details about slavery than from Hollywood-en movies backed from people who control the agenda on how the stories of history are told. Great narrative about taking action to make a change aligning to your relaying of historic details. The development of Cancer Alley is disgusting and tells the story about money grubbing land grabbers who don't get that we belong to the Earth-the Earth does not belong to us!!! They have been taking over the world, Corporation's over people's lives makes Government a sham!
Hey, love you guys together. Interesting fact about the slaves throwing acorns into the grave. Will now look at Oak trees differently. They are so majestic and beautiful.

why was rum making never a thing in Louisiana?
Wow that was great!! I was in NOLA for Christmas in 2014. We spent Christmas eve at the SanFransisco Plantation. Is it possible to see that one? Also will you be mentioning Bonfires on the Mississippi for Christmas. Loves your channel and will be sending money when I get back to work from covid. As I am in Canada unfortunately there is no way to visit now.😔
Somebody get Robi an EBike...
People who had slaves were rich -- not that many rich folks though -- most of the population in the south were farmers and could barely get by - let alone buying a slave -- so don't judge the people of the south because of a few misguided rich dudes --- and - not all of them were bad ---- from the proud state of Arkansas --- descendant of poor white farmers -- did you know there were also white slaves -- and some freed black men was given some land - they became rich and bought themselves slaves ----
Good point.
Wow❤ if I would have known of your channel last year before going to New Orleans . I would sure visit some of the places outside New Orleans . ❤ visit Oak Alley Plantation.
