Carriage Ride - New Orleans

5.00We had a lot of fun with our carriage ride. Seen a side of New Orleans (outside of the downtown area) that we would not have seen otherwise. Architecture of the homes were just outstanding. Love all the vivid colors of the homes and WHY they paint them as they do. The ride was so relaxing. Next time, if you are hard of hearing, we recommend you sit up front as you can't hear the driver as well in the back of the carriage. Hope you do this while visiting New Orleans.
Fun but limited

4.00It was a wonderful experience. Trish and Desire was super sweet and accommodating. (Carriage was really packed from rescheduled day tours because of rain) However, I felt the commentary was limited. (And it could be, again, the carriage was very full) I was hoping for a little more history and stories from the past. Overall, great experience. Would definitely do again, as I’m sure every tour is a bit different.

5.00We (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

5.00A 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!
