We (six family members) went on a tour of the French Quarter and the Marigny. The carriage was comfortable, the pace was perfect for sightseeing and taking photos, Mr. Benson was calm and steady, and Marty was an incredible tour guide. He had so much interesting information to share about what we were seeing, and his love for the city in all its diversity and rich history shone through. Highly recommend.
Great Carriage ride

A beautiful experience that should start any visit to the French Quarters. Our driver was well versed with NO history, and was able to show us places we could go - the historic restaurants, and even knew ghost storied about some of them. Very interesting!
You need this tour to round out your NOLA trip!

The carriage ride was nice and relaxing but we couldn’t hear a word of what was being said. The guide had a mic on but either the speaker wasn’t turned up or it wasn’t placed very well. It would have been nice to come away with a little history and/or fun facts about the location we were trotting around. Other than that it was a beautiful day for just the carriage ride itself.
Worthwhile intro to the Quarter and neighboring area

Driver was informative, knowledgeable. Seats uncomfortable after some time. When the carriage pulls over to let cars by, the road is slanted to the curb which makes you slide.
Wonderful carriage ride experience
