5.00T Bo was well informative and provided a great carriage ride. He certainly knew how to navigate the traffic and even had along carrots for some Magnolia's friends along the route to feed. We were happy we went on our first night. It laid a knowledge foundation for our stay. Bravo!!!

5.00I don’t remember the name of the awesome tour guide. He was an older, slow movin black gentleman, but his horses name was Jim. He was very personable, friendly and knowledgeable during the tour. We got to see more than just the French Quarter and he had a ton of facts and history about a lot of stuff. Getting to sit upfront next to him and Jim was the highlight of my day.
Leisurely tour of the French Quarter

5.00The guide was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. The horse’s name was Norma, and she was a mule. I know this because our guide told us that. She seemed to know her way around the French Quarter better than many of the locals.
Best birthday carriage ride Eva!
