History and ghost carriage tour - We had such an amazing experience with the Royal Carriage Ghost Tour! Sara was an incredible tour guide—she was so knowledgeable, entertaining, and really brought the history and ghost stories to life. You could tell she genuinely loves what she does, and she made the entire tour so much fun! And of course, we can’t forget Lou the mule! 🥰 She was absolutely adorable, especially with her cute painted hooves. She definitely stole a little bit of the show! If you’re visiting New Orleans and looking for a fun, unique way to experience the city’s history and spooky side, I highly recommend the Royal Carriage Ghost Tour. Ask for Sara and be sure to say hello to Lou—you won’t be disappointed! 👻🐴❤️

Pretty Boy is amazing! - We had a great time with our amazing tour guide, Pretty Boy the horse. We enjoyed exploring all of the rich history and folklore this amazing town has to offer! Pretty Boy was the perfect gentleman, and his tour guide was very knowledgeable, making this a fun evening! We highly recommend this specific carriage tour because Pretty Boy enjoys giving you extra time galavanting through town. Great value for your money and excellent company!

NOLA Carriage - Perfect time to do this is later in the evening. I picked the 7:30-8:30PM tour as the sun is setting, also it's not only hot for us but also for the mules to be walking in. Our tour guide was amazing, and our mule Rancher was friendly enough to be touched and take pictures with! Highly recommend for something different while in town.
