You can walk around NO and see things, or you can take a carriage ride and learn things. The guide makes or breaks this, and Mark made it great. Informative, funny, and interesting. We are glad we did it.

We are glad we did it.The carriage ride was easy and relaxed and our guide gave a lot of informative info. It is a glimpse into the area and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We would recommend for people looking for a fun way to see an area that you couldn't see as easy with a big tour bus. And its a goos length of time

We weren’t expecting much especially since we had just done one of the ghost walking tours the night before, but we had a fantastic time! Mark was a great tour guide and gave lots of great information about the city. He even took us to some of the same spots we went to the evening before but told the story with a different perspective so it was still interesting to hear. Cole the mule made sure we had a nice smooth ride and even though it was humid (well humid for us since we’re not use to the humidity at all) it was comfortable and shaded. I would highly recommend doing this at the start of your trip as a way to get your bearings if this is your first time here. We did this before heading to the airport and it was a great way to end a wonderful trip by learning more about this fascinating city.This was our fourth carriage tour with Royal Carriages and each is better than the last. Mark, our driver, was a hoot and Cole the mule was sweet and well behaved.
