New Orleans Carriage Rides & Tours

For the most part, carriage rides are handicap accessible. Since stepping stools and assistance is provided, as long as the participant can walk up steps with help, then they will be able to board the carriage with ease. For people with no mobility, however, this may be more difficult. The helpful and friendly staff, however, is more than happy to help place a participant with no mobility into the carriage, pending any weight restrictions. Wheelchairs and walkers can be left behind at the boarding location, if needed.

Most standard carriages can carry 8 passengers. Private carriage tours are also available, and can accommodate 2-4 passengers.

The carriages are covered and operate rain or shine! If weather is severe, however, tours will be cancelled with the option to either reschedule or receive a refund. Another important thing to be aware of is the mules and their safety. If temperatures exceed 95 degrees, carriage tours will be cancelled until the outside temperature drops below 95 degrees. If tours are cancelled due to high heat in New Orleans, all ticket holders will be given the option to either reschedule for a later date or time, or can choose to receive a refund.

New Orleans carriage rides and tours are appropriate for all ages, and something the whole family will love! Any infants and toddlers that are being held or are seated in the lap of an adult for the duration of the tour are free of charge.

On your New Orleans carriage tour, it is recommended to dress appropriately, bringing anything you may need in case of weather. If it’s a warm NOLA day, sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats are essential. If it’s drizzling outside, bring a rain jacket. Beverages are also allowed on board, just no glass containers. Other than that just bring your sense of wonder, your listening ears, and of course, a camera!
