Highlights
  • 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. \n\nMeet 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.

Great tour - This was a great tour. At first I was hesitant because I was concerned about the treatment of the mules but they are happy and well taken care of. We learned a lot from our guide, Sarah, and the side was relaxing.

Fun Haunting Ghost Carriage Ride - Lucas and Praline were so fun! Lucas brought the ghost stories to life for us. He did give us the option on in depth we wanted the stories which I thought was great. Lucas would break up the ghost stories with humor. I would definitely recommend the haunted history ghost tour. Ask for Lucas and Praline!!!

Nope, not my vibe - Nice carriage ride but boring. Wish our driver was a better storyteller. Was disappointed to be honest. Lots of stops which felt like dragging out the time. Wouldn't recommend.
