1.00Nice but the attitude of the German lady was insane. She was combative when you asked her anything she thinks was contradictory. One couple asked how long the tour was and she screamed that she told them it was 1 hour and they must pay. They were just asking and her response was so disrespectful and rude. She was seriously unhinged and probably drunk.

4.00We had a great experience on the carriage ride through French Quarter. Booking was super easy and departure was prompt. Our guide, Chris was extremely knowledgeable and spoke at a nice pace that allowed us to learn the history and also have space in between to take in the lovely neighborhood. The carriage itself was quite roomy-my family of 4 took two rows with a third row for another party of 2. The carriage moves quite slowly, which is fine but for the traffic it often caused with cars behind us-with a few impatient and ride drivers honking their horns like there was enough room for the carriage to let them by. There are no stops on this tour so prepare to use the necessary room before hand. I enjoyed it tremendously.

5.00The New Orleans french quarter Carriage ride and tour was great ! I took my mom and we were so glad we did the tour. We got to see parts of the city that we would have never seen otherwise. Also so much history and knowledge that we woud not have learned as well. Our guide, Mark was escellent. Very knowledgeable about the history of the places throughout the tour and added a lot of humor and was very personable. He spoke loud so even with just ear that hears I had no problem understanding what he was saying. The weather was great too so it really added to the experience of being a great way to start our first day in New Orleans. Derfinitely worth the money and the hour of time.
Great experience
