What To Expect
Jackson Square
This authentic mode of transportation will help you time-travel back to the 1700s and 1800s when death and disease were rampant due to devastating fires, floods, murders, and more! Being that there are only 8-passengers on-board the carriage, the mule-drawn adventure is more intimate and unforgettable. The carriage-driving tour guides are top-rated licensed guides who have been sending chills down spines for over 75 years. Meet and board at the carriage stand located at 700 Decatur Street. As your carriage departs from Jackson Square, your driver/guide will regale you with stories of the city's founding as the carriage passes through the historic French Quarter street.
French Quarter
Travel past landmarks such as Saint Louis Cathedral, Jackson Square, Napoleon House, and more as the carriage wind through New Orleans' oldest neighborhood, the French Quarter. Expect stories that are both historical, entertaining and appropriate for all visitors. It's important to understand the history so that you can understand the spirits that haunt the buildings. New Orleans is considered to be the most haunted city in America. Countless tragedies have happened right in the French Quarter, including devastating floods and fires killing thousands, contagious epidemics resulting in thousands of deaths, and other odd occurrences like weird human torture experiments, medical experiments, love lost, and more. These stories have been documented in police records and history books, and some can be quite alarming! You'll learn about the stories, then about how the "spirits" are letting people know that they are still very present! Do you have goosebumps yet?

1.00Terrible tour guide. random ramblings about celebrities, said he doesn’t like history, doesn’t answer questions. I really wish I didn’t book it. Charles was terrible. We drove behind another tour. And their tour guide seemed great.

1.00This company is absolutely horrible. We were 5 min late for this tour and the tour guide was so incredibly rude and sold our seats to other people. They are refusing to refund us. Avoid at all costs.
Fun time

5.00It was a rainy weekend in NOLA for us!! Still - Lemen and Nasty carried on and provided an entertaining evening, making the drizzling background seem like a part of their plan! We thought we’d be soaked and miserable but instead we were distracted and entertained by Lemen’s ghost stories. Mahalo!

3.00The tour was okay. The tour guide was relatively new and talked really fast, making it hard to take in everything he was saying. The script should’ve be a little more concise. There were too many extra and unnecessary words. He was nice enough, and seemed knowledgeable of the New Orleans area.
Fun and Enjoyable Tour

5.00We had a really enjoyable tour and got to explore new sights while learning lots of interesting information. The staff was patient and very kind, which made the experience even better. The only improvement I can think of would be adding speakers in the carriage so guests sitting in the back can hear more clearly.
Had fun
