1.005/5/26 1:30 tour. The guide was terrible. So bad he may have been high. Talked a lot and said little of New Orleans worth while. Have had other guides which were much better. Waste of money

Wonderful Carriage Ride for Families with Kids

5.00As a Chinese visitor traveling with a child, this carriage tour was an amazing experience. The staff kindly let kids sit in the front, which made it extra special and exciting. The carriage driver was very experienced and professional. During the ride, there was a small traffic situation when a car blocked the road and even bumped into another vehicle, but the horse stayed very calm and patient, and the driver handled everything smoothly. We felt very safe the entire time. It was a unique and memorable experience, and I highly recommend it for families with kids!
