Our tour guide was Jonathon and our mule was Blondie.  They were both amazing!  We decided to splurge on the carriage ride and we are so happy that we did!  You can bring drinks and relax while you take the tour.  It was nice to take a break from walking and we got to see a lot of cool parts of the quarter that we wouldn't have otherwise seen.  JOnathon was very informative and a great story teller.  Our kids loved him! Would highly recommend!

Worth the Splurge

We really enjoyed the History & Haunts Nighttime Carriage Tour! Our tour guide, Shannon, & his mule, O'Reilly, did a great job. We arrived a few minutes early & were able to sit in the front seat of the carriage behind the tour guide which I think is the way to go. Shannon seemed to treat O'Reilly well which made me happy. He told us some really cool stories & I definitely learned some things & heard more details on parts of stories & lore I'd heard of already. Now that I'm back home I've been looking further into some of the stories he told via YouTube. Fascinating stuff. Highly recommend this tour through the fun & history filled French Quarter. Remember to tip your guide!

Fun Evening of History & Haunts!

Tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable.   Definitely would recommend.

French Quarter Carriage Tour

Good experience! Lots of history! Driver was quite knowledgeable! Your website needs to be updated whenever changes are made. We spent time looking for a yellow umbrella to get out tickets ( as noted on the website) it’s now changed to “ red”

Carriage Ride

We had a great time! Lofton was an awesome driver with lots of interesting information. My only complaint is the price - I didn’t feel like there was something exceptional to make an hour carriage ride worth $300.

Great experience!

Hop aboard a comfortable carriage and see the French Quarter & its picturesque neighborhoods the way it was meant to be seen! These award-winning carriage tours feature licensed tour guides and are fully narrated, providing guests with a ride that is both scenic, entertaining, and fact-filled. This particular route travels through the quieter, lesser trafficked areas of the French Quarter and the neighboring areas known for its colorful Creole architecture and live jazz music venues NOT on Bourbon Street.

Our tour guide was very friendly and considerate to all of us - children to grandparents. As a native who  prides herself on our history, it was a pleasure to have a guide who was knowledgeable and correct in her telling of our story. She engaged our grandchildren and other guests and was generous with her time. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon for all.

We booked a Royal Carriage tour for 12pm and showed up at 11:30am. Mark immediately identified himself and was more than welcoming. He put us in the carriage to get us out of the sun and took his time to get to know us. When everyone arrived we started the tour. Mark was engaging, informative and polite in his presentation and observations. He was awesome. I highly recommend Royal Carriage and ASK for Mark. Great and dynamic guide.
