Great carriage ride - Our tour guide was very informative. He showed us places we hadn’t known about and visited them later on. We loved Armstrong also.

Good Orientation to the City - We did this tour on our first morning in New Orleans it is a great way to become familiar with the City. Our carriage driver was very knowledgeable but it was hard to hear him. The drivers need to have microphones in the carriage so that everyone can hear him. However, I would still recommend

It was a nice tour, our... - It was a nice tour, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful however, we had to ride up in the front with him which was rather cramped and uncomfortable. My wife almost fell off the carriage while exiting and my foot was runover by the carriage. Other than that it was a fun experience.

Disappointed - Very disappointed. Don’t waste your money! If I had wanted a ghost tour, I would have booked that! Too many ghost stories! Wanted more history and Larry didn’t even point out Bourbon Street. It didn’t last a full hour (only about 50 minutes) My husband and I did a carriage tour in New Orleans a few years ago and it was awesome! We toured the French quarters, they pointed out Bourbon Street and other streets and houses, went by the cemetery and even got out to walk around in the cemetery with the Marie LaVeau tomb (Larry did not even mention Marie LaVeau) and where Nicholas Cage has his tomb. It was very informative and fun with just a few voodoo and ghost stories added in. That is what I expected on this tour with my sister and her husband. I wish we had done a bus tour instead!
