3.00They took another party with much less price than what we booked online. Also the tour guide was not that knowledgeable, ended our tour 5-10 mint before. Didn’t feel worth the money spent.

5.00Lucy & Marie Laveau gave us an unforgettable excursion. We take a Royal Carriage ride every time we come to town. Probably a dozen rides. With every guide, it has been a different experience. Lucy, with her love of history and great personality, really made this ride memorable.

5.00Our carriage driver/tour guide was great. Very funny and full of great facts of the Fremch Quarter! He was delightful and I believe he said his name was Tony. And his horse's name was Praline.
