Spooky, nighttime carriage ride with great sites of haunted buildings! - Fun experience! Our driver was so friendly and knowledgeable about the city. We heard ghostly stories and saw the buildings that were haunted on our tour. Spooky but fun! Only thing I would recommend is to maybe add some microphones with ear pieces (like they do in museum tours) because it was hard to hear him from the back of the carriage especially with traffic driving by. Other than that, it was great!!

Spooky stories with a mule named Desire - This was a last minute addition to our family NOLA trip that we thoroughly enjoyed. It was one of our favorite experiences that we could all enjoy, regardless of age, ability or personal interests. Patricia and Desire were a fun pair and we loved getting to know the city thru their eyes. We learned so much about the colorful residents and buildings. We were also very glad to hear that Desire gets to go on vacation regularly...she definitely earns it! We would recommend this to anyone that wants to know more about the city, the people and the legends behind them!

Screw this company - Liz.said we could reschedule if we called. Brian said he got us rescheduled when we called before the event. They didn't reschedule us and are demanding $260 for lieing about rescheduling our reservation we can no longer use due to flight delays. Do a walking tour and forget this company
