Instead of walking around with a large group of people, you'll travel to and from haunted locations comfortably in a mule-drawn carriage guided by a professional tour.

The route through the French Quarter was undeniably charming, and the mule was exceptionally well-behaved and clearly cared for, which was a highlight of the experience. However, the guide's performance left much to be desired. For $60 per person, I expected a polished and professional narrative that showcased the rich history and haunting lore of New Orleans' French Quarter. Instead, the guide's delivery felt haphazard and unprepared. His frequent cursing was off-putting, and some of the stories he shared—like the one about Zach and Abby—were utterly ridiculous and lacked credibility. Rather than adding to the mystique, these tales detracted from the experience. New Orleans is steeped in history and captivating legends, and it’s disappointing that this wasn’t reflected in the tour. A more intelligent, well-researched approach to storytelling could have elevated the ride to something truly memorable. Unfortunately, I walked away feeling that the experience was not worth the cost. If you're considering this tour, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for a more professional and engaging way to explore the haunted history of the French Quarter.

The driver's stories and the New Orleans history. We liked the mule Armstrong. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining and patient.

Such an intimate and really cool experience!! Only 4 of us on the tour. Carriage ride made it so nice and relaxing! I would definitely recommend to friends and family, and we’d totally do this again!!

It was fun because the guide was nice, funny and knowledgable. And the mule let us pet him. Yes we would go again.
