Reviews of Royal Carriages
We loved our History and Haunts Carriage Ride in New Orleans on September 16th! Emily and Cloudy were amazing guides with a wealth of information. It was the BEST tour we had been on (and we had been on several!) The small group intimate setting provided an opportunity to ask questions comfortably. Having the mule ride gave us a closer look at several sites we had only heard about on other tours, such as the Ursuline Convent. Thank you for providing this wonderful adventure. We were also pleased to hear the care that the mules are given and the high standards you set for their care.
We had a great experience! Matt and Miss Kentucky are a wonderful match. We learned so much history about the French Quarter from a true local. The tour started with historical facts and Matt kept us engaged the entire time. The tour was easy to find and professionally done. Would highly recommend.
We loved the tour! It was definitely worth the money. It was a beautiful night in NOLA and we got a great tour of parts of the city we wouldn't have traveled to on foot. Shannon and Cosmo were a delight. The hour long trip is just the amount of time. It was such a great way to see the city and learn some history!
Footloose our mule who loved showing us a pothole or 2 and Leeman our Guide were amazing! What a robust and factual tour that will haunt us for years to come! Fantastic storytelling, clarity and attention to detail all mixed in with our favourite horrors and hidden gems throughout the French Quarter. Absolute treat! Thank you! 💗💗💗🐴 …
Great experience. Small group and had a relaxing feel. They stopped at many of the major haunted houses and bars. The guide went of some of the history of the city and French quarters. The only issue was that many of the stops had other guides there making it harder to hear what our guide was saying.
We ended up taking a tour on one of Royal Carriages mule-drawn carriages on a whim, and it ended up being a real highlight. Our tour guide (who was originally from Seattle where my partner and I were visiting from) was thoroughly amusing while telling historic stories about the (allegedly) haunted buildings in the area. Getting to see some of the farther out parts of NOLA (such as Frenchman street) while also getting to rest from a long day of walking was a real treat.
Mac was welcoming, funny, and knowledgeable. This was a great first time experience for us and we enjoyed Mac and Ms. Kentucky. We took the hour tour on 10/25/22. Definitely worth the money! Added pics of Ms. Kentucky, the LAST bank Bonnie and Clyde robbed, and a uniquely built Cornstalk Hotel. Lots of history, music, and fun in NOLA!!!! We’ll be back!
Our mule was named Cole, and our tour driver was Mark. They were both fabulous, and the tour was comfortable, informative, and fun. We learned so much about New Orleans today. I would really recommend this trip if only to get a good idea of what the city has to offer.
Charles and Sweetheart made for an unforgettable carriage ride and New Orleans experience! All the knowledge from the tour was extremely interesting and fun. Would recommend to anyone! $25/ person for 30 minute tour.
During a trip to New Orleans, we booked an hour-long carriage ride with Charlie P. and Moon through Royal Carriages. Charlie was the BEST! He was so knowledgeable about the area and his genuine love for the city was evident. He shared parts of the city that we wouldn't have explored on our own. Charlie also gave us excellent recommendations for dining and nightlife. Thank you, Charlie and Moon, for the memorable carriage ride! Definitely with it.

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour! It’s a fun way to learn about the history of New Orleans and see the city! We were so happy we did this instead of a walking tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and funny and the mule had a great personality as well!
We made a special memory on our 23rd anniversary riding with Jonathan the afternoon of June 26th. He and Cloudy gave me and my husband the full tour with all the history of New Orleans. He was quite the storyteller and kept us laughing! Kudos to Jonathan! Great experience!
This excursion occurred during our last day in New Orleans and on our actual anniversary day. We enjoyed a nice and hot afternoon carriage ride through various parts of New Orleans and the Marigny neighborhood. Jonathan and his wife were hilarious. He was an excellent tour guide, he told us about the history of the neighborhood and some history of New Orleans as well as black history which I can appreciate. If we're ever in New Orleans again I would definitely do another carriage ride, he was nice, relaxing and very informative. Also always remember to tip your guides because they are good at what they do.
Great way to see the French Quarter! My wife, our friend, and I decided to take the tour and we were so glad that we did. It was nice to just slowly ride around the neighborhood and take in the sights and history. I highly recommend starting your visit to the French Quarter off with this tour and then you know where you want to go on foot when you get done.
Really enjoyed our history and ghost story tour. We did this on our last full day but would have been a great way to start our New Orleans vacation. The tour goes through some must see areas and pointed out a few places that I am sad I missed on this trip. Great way to learn more about the area and its spooky past. Definitely recommend👍.
Cute way to tour the city and get a little more history from your guide. Ours was cute and personable and took good care of our mule escorting us. We learned new things and enjoyed the 45 min (or so) tour.
Jonathan was such an amazing guide had lots of knowledge about the city and its rich history! It was nice to take a break from all the walking. Lil Liza Jane was very pretty and well taken care of we got a photo with her! The price was perfect and well worth it, Thanks again for the carriage ride!
I had a blast learning the history of The French Quarters and New Orleans my driver was amazing she was detailed with the stories and made New Orleans intriguing. This was my 1st carriage ride so I didn't know what to expect, next time I will bring a blanket it was a bit chilly on my night. I enjoyed my short bond with Cosmo and learning the difference between Mules and Horses. Thank you for a great night!! I will be back
What a great experience! Went with my son, daughter-in-law and 11 month old granddaughter. The baby totally loved seeing the horses and the ride through downtown seeing the attractions. The carriage driver was knowledgeable and gave some great information on the sights. I’m so glad we had the experience and we can’t wait to go again next year. So happy this is offered on this side of the lake!
Absolutely recommended! Taking a 1 hour tour around New Orleans at night is so wonderful and relaxing. Also, the history of New Orleans is also rich. I can't remember our tour guide's name, but our mule's name was Desire. Both did an excellent job and I would go again just for the ambience.
Phil and Fiona were a delightful pair. Fiona pulled the carriage with ease while Phil told us stories about the history of the area. It was a fun relaxing ride through the beautiful quaint neighborhood surrounding the French quarter. Everyone will enjoy it.
We thoroughly enjoyed our late-night tour/ride! It was such a fun mix of learning about the history of the city infused with some of the city’s most famous ghost stories. Our guide, K.J., was informative and entertaining. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour and company.
My wife and I are I are in New Orleans for our anniversary; she wanted to take a carriage ride and do the haunted tour, well guess what? We did both, we took the hour long carriage ride and ghost tour. It was fantastic. Our tour guide ✅Lucas and his partner Praline, took on a wonderful tour of the French Quarter.✅ We toured the querer in style and our guide was quite the story teller. TY for a great tour and I definitely recommend you checking out the tour; in the heart of Jackson square. Tell them your mustache man sent you. 5 out of five mustaches.
We recently did the night ghost and history tour through Royal Carriages with Lucas our driver and Praline the mule. What a FUN and memorable experience! Lucas kept us laughing the whole time while also spilling all the spooky tea. And we all left singing 🎶 Come on Praline, Don’t make me sing, You’re a MUuLe, you’re a mule! Mule! Mule! 🎶
10 out of 5 would recommend!!! Give Lucas a bonus!!
My nephew and his wife flew down from Wisconsin for the week. My boyfriend and I have been in Alabama since December and are staying until March. We drove over there which was a very long drive but so very worth it. It was a great experience. The driver was very knowledgeable about New Orleans. The horse ride was fabulous, he was humorous, he just made it a wonderful experience. We are going to be coming back here for next winter and we definitely plan on going back there and doing it again. Remember everybodyTIP YOUR DRIVERS. This is their livelihood. If you get a chance to do this it is an experience you’ll never forget
Marty and Blaze were wonderful.
It’s apparent that Marty loves this city as he was quite knowledgeable about its history, culture and architecture. A lot of questions I had about the city’s history and diversity we’re finally put to rest.
Blaze is a beautiful and graceful creature. She navigated the busy streets at a nice gentle pace. Please be sure to thank her as well.
Charlie P and Moon the mule were great hosts. Charlie is really hospitable and very friendly. Going along with the family I wasn't very interested in the ride, but meeting Charlie changed my perspective. His stories and knowledge were almost as interesting as his personality. May the LORD bless Charlie in Jesus Name.
Had an amazing one hour tour with Lucy and Marie! Lucy was so funny and informative about the areas we went thru and gave great restaurant recommendations. Marie was an incredible street savvy mule with sparkly hooves. Highly recommend you take ride with these two!
We asked specifically for Marty and Fiona to take us on a one hour tour and we weren't disappointed. Marty knew his stuff. We really enjoyed learning so much about the architecture and customs of the French Quarter and Marigny neighborhoods. He showed us the best jazz clubs and great restaurants. Great experience!
A must-do in NOLA! Our originally booking got cancelled due to the heat. We were able to rebook the following day, despite some rain. The tour guide was nice enough to mix scary facts with history for us (we originally booked the scary tour and got put with a group who was there for the French Quarter tour). Our guide and our mule were absolutely lovely and it was wonderful experiencing the city in a different way, and a way reminiscent of how early New Orleanians made their way around town.
5/5!!!
My girlfriend and I were fortunate enough to enjoy a ride with Lucy and her mule Blondie. The entire ride was full of fun facts, great sights and lots of fun. Lucy is an excellent tour guide with a vibrant personality. Definitely a must do attraction ;)
Fun ride with James who was well versed in his NOLA history. Liked this better than the walking tour we took a few years ago, although you don't get to stop at the bars. Even got to hear James tell off some young PETA idiots at the end who yelled at us but had no idea how well treated these mules are.
Fiona and her four-legged companion, O'Reilly were absolutely amazing. Fiona was exceptionally friendly and was a beautiful conversation partner. She was also very respectful in asking if we wanted conversation or simply desired to be alone together for the ride. Her compassion and respect are greatly appreciated. Not only do I recommend Royal Carriages, but if you can seek out Fiona, do so! She totally ROCKS!
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the French Quarter and Marigny neighborhoods. Our guide, Mark and our mule, Cole were awesome. It was informative, entertaining and was still able to operate the carriage extremely safely and courteously. Would definitely request Mark again if we go. #RoyalCarriagesNewOrleans
Our driver Lucy was the best. I have lived in LA for 16 years and this was my first carriage tour and she was so informative and funny!! My lifelong BFF’s were in town from TN and we all had the best time 😃. Our mule was named Marie and we just loved her too! …
Our tour guide was well educated in the history of New Orleans and the French quarter. He explained everything perfectly with great comedy, and blondy our mule "not horse" did an excellent job and even gave us a few laughs. I don't remember the guides name but I posted a picture of him. Thank you for such a great tour.
Let me start with “MULE DADDY!!” He was the most dreamy carriage driver ever! Marty killed it with us people from Florida 🌺 Blaze Star was a sweet girl and so easy going, definitely the best tour in NOLA!
Mule Daddy, we hope to see you again!
Our carriage ride was awesome
Tour guide was Excellent and his Mule too.
Great history stories from the guide you could hear him above the city noises very informative loved hearing the haunted History of some of the homes and areas in New Orleans
Would recommend to any one
Wonderful and informative tour of The French Quarter and outlying areas. We stayed in the carriage for the duration of the ride, which was pretty bumpy at times due to the street conditions. We learned a lot during the ride, and our guide Sarah offered to answer any questions that we had. It was heavily centered around haunted places and the history of them. We also learned of the supposed origin of vampirism, which was very interesting. The seats on the carriage aren't the most comfortable, but all in all, it was a great time!!
Lucas and Praline showed us a great time on our tour! He told us some fascinating stories on our full moon haunted history tour.
Leeman and Footloose made it a great trip. We had a private tour booked but they put us in a big carriage instead of the 4 seater. We didn’t know which tour to do, and Leeman suggested the History and Haunts tour. It was wonderful! Though the scariest thing, at least according to Footloose, is a pothole on Madison.
Jonathan knew everything about New Orleans and the French Quarter and was very entertaining. Our mule, Coca-Cola was great and did his part well. Coca-Cola has been on the job only 5 weeks but handled it well. Give these guys a try for a great tour.
We went on the ghost tour with Ginger and Leeman. Absolutely the best tour guide experience I’ve ever had. Hilarious, enticing and very spooky!
was definitely the highlight of our entire trip.
Thank you so much Leeman & Ginger!!!
We had the privilege of riding with Lucy and Marie, and loved every second!! What I thought was just a carriage ride through New Orleans taught me so much about the little town and it’s history! I hope they are both here next time I visit.
Sarah was an excellent guide! She presented the information in a fun, engaging way. She was also open to any questions and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend the tour. Armstrong was also a very good mule, amd he made the whole experience delightful and unique.
Our experience was wonderful. Gale the travel guide was very knowledgeable and informative she was in a word awesome! The driver Donald was great too! We had an incredible time exploring and discovering a New Orleans we nothing about. Our review is 5 Stars for sure!!! We also took the 1hour carriage tour ride with Charles who seemed to know every building, every good restaurant, and every haunt. Charles made several suggestions that we followed latter a mother 5 star rating!!!
So fun being KJ’s helper - since I was in the front seat. Love learning the history of New Orleans. I could do this tour over and over! Must say our mule, Lou just wanted to be home after a long day - the cutest!
We did several tours on this trip to NOLA. This was by far my favorite tour of the trip. Matt/O'Reilly were our guides. Matt was a wealth of knowledge and we enjoyed the history and stories immensely! Would definitely do again!
Very Informative and great personality of the driver. He was very funny, knowledgeable & informative. He done a great job on the tour. Everyone enjoyed the hour ride & information he provided on the city & its history. Would love another tour with him. I couldn’t remember his name. He was the older African American gentleman with the dread locks. He was amazing!
My husband and I had a lot of fun with Johnathan and his partner in crime, Magnolia! Johnathan was very informative and shared lots of fun stories of the city in an interactive and digestible way. I’m impressed with his historical and modern knowledge of the city and his ability to relate various aspects of New Orleans to other cities and cultures! He really went the extra mile to help us and the other guests get a true feel and understanding of the beautiful city! Johnathan was a great guide and was really funny and kind too! Magnolia was the sweetest and was a great mule, she deserves some nice tasty treats for how smoothly she carried us along! She’s a real smart cookie and a hard working gal! We had a great time!!
Our guide was Jonathan he was very polite and intelligent. I loved how he made the tour diverse. He was kind enough to take a few pics of us with Coca Cola the mule. Jonathan also allowed our daughter to sit up front. Love it!!!
Fabulous tour with Steph and big Freida. Loads of info, lots of creepy stories. Mules are looked after really well, with 6 months off in a year. Worth the extra money and a lovely way to see more of the city. Highly recommended!
Great expérience. The tour personnel was very knowledgeable. The mule was very festive and had holiday decor . So cute!
Great way to learn and see New Orleans
We had the lovely Sara as a guide and she and Armstrong did a great job!! Sara was knowledgeable, encouraged lots of questions and made sure everyone could hear all the wonderful and scary stories of the history of New Orleans. We really enjoyed our time with her and would highly recommend this tour! It was also nice to be in the carriage and not have to walk. Thank you for having this tour.
This was a fabulous haunted tour through some picturesque, less traveled parts of the French Quarter. Our tour guide Matt was knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining, and his lovely mule Miss Kentucky was incredibly surefooted, which made for a super smooth ride. I’d recommend going after dark. We went at 9 pm, and it made the experience appropriately creepy. My husband and I took our 15-year-old daughter, and she also loved the tour. We’d do it again!
$25 per person for a 30 minutes ride. Do I need to say more ? I mean you literally can’t pass up the opportunity! The mules are adorable! The tour guides are great! The entire experience was amazing! We took the tour right at sunset and it couldn’t have been better! Our tour guide was new it was his first week on the job but he did so great! He was so nice & very informational! We loved the mule we had - Ginger!
Great tour! Our tour guide Lucas was super fun, informative, and engaging. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in the haunted/ ghost stories surrounding New Orleans. I personally don’t even believe in ghosts but even I was still entertained plus we did the 10:30pm ride so the atmosphere was quiet and dark to fit the mood. And the mules and carriage are a fun bonus to the adventure.
Shannon and Ranger were awesome on our history and haunts tour. Shannon was knowledgeable and fun. Had a great time!
Absolutely amazing experience. Jonathan was an incredible tour guide, who was able to blend enthusiasm and audience engagement with a deep knowledge of New Orleans history. He had an uncanny ability to connect with the audience while guiding our carriage safely. It helped, of course, that our mule Magnolia was smart as a whip. Would recommend to anyone. All because of our amazing guide and his outstanding mule.
Mark and Cole where fantastic! We had such a fun time and my husband and I learned so much from Mark, he’s so knowledgeable and made the experience so fun! Definitely recommend!
Ask for Marty Myers great tour guide, very knowledgeable in New Orleans history. Loved his mule Blaze
Took a great tour with Lucy today and her mule Marie Laveau. Loved it. Marie has her very own little personality and kept us entertained. Lucy did a great job with the tour. Very informative and entertaining. Would definitely seek these two out for another tour. Out of the MANY carriage tours we've they were one of the very best!!
Our carriage tour was amazing! We had such a great time. Our driver, KJ, was wonderful. He was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the French Quarter. He also knew quite a lot about the locations each one of us in the group came from. He answered all our questions and was very entertaining. Our mule house, Lou, was the sweetest girl. She was so smart and pretty. The ride itself was awesome. The Quarter is so beautiful and it was such a great experience seeing it from that perspective. I would recommend that anyone visiting New Orleans take this tour. You'll learn so much and you can't beat seeing the beauty of the French Quarter from a carriage.
Ages 2-76. If you’re looking for something to entertain your 2 year old and elderly parents, minus the expansive walk around the French Quarter, then this is a perfect option. After booking I received an email confirming children under 4 is free. Huge plus because it was the week after mardigras, I knew the company shuts down for a few days to rest. Check in was a breeze. KJ was polite and super helpful in getting us to the correct carriage. Arriving 30mins early, we were thrilled to have Cosmo as our mule, he was given tons of awesome reviews from our research prior to booking. We loved the sightseeing route and the information our tour guide provided.
The only reason it’s not a 5 star was because our guide never acknowledged that my family of 6 was in the carriage. He spoke directly to the couple in the front row and never bothered to ask if we could hear him during the ride. He also had Q&A with the other group. Maybe he couldn’t hear our questions so we basically felt like we were eves dropping throughout the tour. He was very knowledgeable but would have preferred a better treatment. Overall a good experience & will refer friends and family.
Skip the walking tours. Enjoy the beauty of the Quarter and creepy stories from a mule drawn carriage instead. Shannon, our driver, was friendly and knowledgeable…. It was quite clear he loves the Quarter and Ranger, the mule, is care for very well. My BF ( who was skeptical ) and I had a great time. Well worth the money.
Great experience. Our guide along with his mule Miss Kentucky were very entertaining. Enjoyed the history and his style of communication. Felt safe in his hands as he guided us through the busy streets of THE French quarter. Would recommend him and this tour to anyone interested in the history of New Orleans combined with some of the thrill of a ghost tour.
Fiona & O’Reilly we’re such a refreshing team for my first carriage tour! Fiona shared unique & informative details of the history of New Orleans. I was especially impressed with the connection between Fiona & O’Reilly. Her kind ,yet, firm words showed her consciousness ,and O’Reilly followed her guidance effortlessly.
Thank you Fiona & O’Reilly!
Very enjoyable. The mules seemed happy and well cared for.
Our driver , Shannon was entertaining. He seemed very knowledgeable of the city and told us all about the ghosts of New Orleans.
Worth the money to travel on streets that you wouldnt likely walk. We went at night and really enjoyed the experience.
The tour was great! Lucas made this experience very informative, and quite funny. He was very engaging and quick witted, which was appreciated by all. Lucas has clearly perfected his timing and delivery, and really knows how to segue from a jovial mood to a serious tone to suit the stories. Highly recommended. Praline was the best boss!
We had an amazing tour in New Orleans on the Haunted Carriage ride. It was an hour tour. Our guide took us throughout the French Quarter showing us the various buildings and the history of who lived, died and the ghosts and vampires at the various buildings. He was absolutely great with the details. It was really great. I would go again.
Took the Haunted tour with Shannon and Rancher the mule, and had an excellent time! Shannon's love for and knowledge of the history of New Orleans was exactly what we want in a tour. The ghost stories enhanced the richness of the city's history and focused on places associated with apparitions, not just creepy places. We would definitely recommend taking this tour, and we hope to visit and take this tour again soon.
A friend recommended we take the tour (even though it wasn’t our first time in New Orleans). We’re so happy we did. It was relaxing, super interesting and beautiful. Our driver, Matt, was funny and knowledgeable. And, Miss Kentucky was a sweetheart. If you’ve never done, grab a drink and head over to Jackson Square for a special treat.
We took the 10:30 Ghost tour- as soon as everyone was seated we jumped into the "Dark Side" of NOLA. We had a clear, cold night and the moon was almost full- perfect backdrop for our excursion. Our guide (Lucas and mighty Praline) did a great job, knew their history on each haunted tale, and made the whole experience memorable. There were a couple of times I swear you could feel the evil entity of each story enter our carriage and gaze upon our crew as to see who would be next! Matter of fact, we went by the oldest building in the French Quarter and at least twice we actually heard.... Well, I'm not gonna give it away! You'll have to see for your self. We did make it back in one piece and it was worth every penny. We will be back with more family and friends! Stay safe and thanks for everything.
The Reeds
Great private tour experience with Emily and Cloudy! They were relentless! Halfway through our tour, it began to rain but Emily continued to provide information accordingly. They took great care of us!
My wife and I were walking along the river side of Jackson Square. We wanted to take a carriage ride, but had an appointment in the JAX building so it had to be later. We struck up a conversation with Charley and we met his mule Moon. We thought there would be five of us. His carriage is designed for four, but we figured we could all fit.
After taking care of business, the other three went elsewhere, so we went back to Jackson Square, located Charley and Moon, and took off for a one-hour tour of the French Quarter and neighboring areas.
Charley was raised in NOLA just north of the Quarter. He's been a chef at Brennan's and a couple other places, and he knows the restaurants, food, clubs, buildings, history (including things that happened in his youth), and the people and celebrities. Our ride was absolutely fascinating!
It was fun watching Moon negotiate the vehicular and pedestrian traffic. He (or she?) knew the route very well, and only once had to be directed away from the turn toward the barn. All fun to watch.
We can highly recommend Royal Carriages tours, and especially Charley and Moon. Five Stars!!!
Wonderful experience! The driver was very knowledgeable of history and was kind enough to take pics for us. Patsy Cline was our Mule and she was wonderful! As an equestrian myself I tend to look at the animals before I participate in something like this. Making sure they are well cared for. All of their mules looked great! Loved the "ruby slippers" Patsy had on!
We had a great tour with Mark (and Cole)! We did a tour last year with a different guide, and Mark took us places we didn't go last year and his stories were great! Mark is a great storyteller (ask for his dad jokes) and reads his audience well. I highly recommend you look for Mark and Cole when booking your carriage tour!
This was a great tour to learn about some of the history of New Orleans. Our guide was lively and fun. Loved our murse "Footloose". My daughter and I really enjoyed this.
Our Royal Carriage tour around the city was AWESOME! Lucy was a our carriage driver/tour guide and Marie was THE best mule ever. Their pickup/drop off location is super easy to find, payment was very easy to complete as well. We will definitely be taking another Royal Carriage tour next time we're in the city!!
We did the History and Haunts night carriage tour on our last night - it was the perfect way to end the trip! Lucas gave us the perfect amount of facts and storytelling and kept us laughing as well. It was a great way to see and learn parts of the city without having to walk everywhere. We loved Praline the mule!
We will 100% being doing this again.
We had a wonderful time on our tour with Rory ( I hope that’s right;) and Ivan her mule. We booked a private tour since there’s 5 of us and it was close to the same price as booking 5 seats on one of their other tours. We requested history and haunts. We had 3 kids with us 4,10,and 12 and they all loved it. They all thought it was fun and a little creepy which was exactly what we wanted.
Our guide was really sweet and worked great with her mule. We had a wonderful time and definitely recommend !
We went on the 1-hour carriage ride. Our departure time was 9pm. Once we took off, our guide was almost, he provided us with so many stories and great sites to see. Doing the nighttime ride add to the stories. Highly recommend during your visit. Because of this tour, we had amazing burgers at Clover Grill ( note: they do not accept cash and is open 24 hours ). Then we had a Hurricane at the Blacksmith Bar, both at the end of Bourbon Street.
We had an absolutely fantastic time on our tour with the amazing Lucy!!! She never left a dull moment, and was full of fun facts and history! And Marie the mule was on her best tour behavior!! The time flew by and I wished it hadn’t ended so soon! I definitely recommend this fabulous carriage tour ride to anyone looking to get off their feet and take a seat and tour the town!!!
My husband and I took a private tour with Fiona and her sweet mule O’Reilly. We had so much fun! Fiona is so passionate and knowledgeable about New Orleans history. We were fully engaged for the entire tour and learned so much. I highly recommend Royal Carriages and Fiona and O’Reilly!!!
If you’re in NOLA This is a must see after a day of adventuring. I cannot remember our guides name, but he was AWESOME!!! He and Ginger ( his 4 legged companion) did amazing!!! Plenty of stories to hear and fun to have! If you want to learn about some of the history of the buildings around town that truly brings the city to life after hearing the wonderful tales. Most definitely will do again when in NOLA!!!
My husband and I did a private Carriage ride with Charlie P. and Moon, and had an awesome time! He was a great guide who knew a lot about the city and it’s history. The half hour flew by and it was more than enjoyable. I would definitely recommend him and this company to anyone visiting New Orleans French Quarter.
Such a fun tour! Well organized. Worth every penny! There was a mix up on my booking (completely my fault) and the tour organizer made everything right and was even quick to refund the overpayment that I had not, and would never have, even realized I made. I would definitely recommend this tour to adults and children as well.
Jelly the mule was great! And Trish was very knowledgeable about NOLA. Thank you to both for showing us the city and all that NOLA offers. Delightful!
We happened across the carriages on the square and were really glad we decided to take the 30 minute tour. It was educational and fun. My daughter loved getting to meet the mule Coca-Cola, and Johnathan was friendly and enthusiastic about the tour Mateo. Highly recommend it for anyone in New Orleans, especially if your time is limited.
We never been to New Orleans before and this was the very first thing we did literally right after getting off the plane. So glad we did! Our tour guide Lucas was amazing! His wealth of knowledge was incredible and he was very entertaining and funny! Totally going to recommend this back to my friends and family back home.
Lucy was an excellent tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable, really funny, and loud enough for all to understand her. I felt the love she had for her mule, Marie. Marie was so cute, she had animal safe sparkly hooves! Definitely recommend.
Wonderful tour. Guide was awesome. Can't remember her name but the mule was Armstrong. She was so knowledgeable and funny. We got to see some extra since we were her last tour for the night. Well worth the money for the great history she provided on the way. Will do it again.
We did the History and Haunts tour with Shannon and Rancher. It was absolutely amazing and filled with so much history, and folklore. Shannon was very knowledgeable and a great guide. If you have the chance to go and do one of these tours you should definitely do so.
Loved this carriage ride not only was it a beautiful city to explore but our carriage driver, Sara, was awesome. She made the ride so much fun and really took the time to make sure everyone on the carriage had a pleasant experience. The history and nuisance of the ghost tours were amazing it's definitely an experience worth trying and hopefully you'll get Sara or at least another guide just as great!
Great experience and as for me and the wife best money spent of the week!
Mark O. our guide and carriage driver was fantastic. The man provided history on the city far greater than we expected. Much better historian than comedian but he tried!
Finally Cole our mule was gentle and allowed pictures when the ride was over. Royal carriage has the best price in town and provided us with an awesome experience.
We would definitely reccomend and plan on returning in the future for another tour.
Our driver Jonathan and our mule Coca-Cola were awesome. She, the mule, has only been working there for 8 weeks, yet she did great. The driver was very friendly and knowledgeable on his history of New Orleans. Well worth the price.
We celebrated my mother's 73rd bday . Both tour guides were nice and informative. Everyone had fun!
The haunted tour at 10:30pm was absolutely fantastic! Our tour guide (Shane or Shannon, I’m sorry I don’t remember which was his name) was great, he was a plethora of historical information and quite entertaining. It gave you a real feel for the history of the city. It was truly amazing. It is a definite must to do while visiting this historic city.
What a pleasant way to see French Quarter and the Marigny!! Guide was hilarious and interesting. Ranger the mule was cute and friendly. Y'all gotta do this!!!
This was AMAZING!!! Best NOLA tour I have ever done! Our tour guide was so lively and funny and filled with history of the French Quarter and Nola! For more info about how much we loved the ride check out “The Travel Brats” podcast!
We took a carriage tour with Lucy and Marie yesterday. We initially had a little trouble contacting the company to book the earliest ride, so we booked a later one online. They reached back out and changed our reservation to the first available time that accommodated our trip much better. The tour was very informative and it was a great way to see the area without being completely worn out in the summer heat. She even accommodated my fussy 2 month old who did not enjoy the carriage stopping 😅 We had a great time and would definitely recommend them to others.
This is the second time I get to ride with Lucy and Marie the mule and it was absolutely amazing all over again!! Lucy is so animated and hilarious it is definitely worth the ride, because it is the perfect balance of wonderful New Orleans history and laughs. Marie Laveau the mule is so sweet and has her own quirky personality, it is absolutely astonishing! You can definitely tell Lucy has a way with not only the tourist, but with animals as well, as her love for animals shines through and you can see it with how her and her mule bond!!! We loved it!!!
We went on such a Wonderful and informative Carriage Ride today. We had the nicest Carriage Driver who knew so much about New Orleans. He was so pleasant too. When I got off I truly felt like I knew so much about NO..I would definitely recommend this to anyone who visits NO.
The whole family loved our tour with Mike R and the Professor. He was very knowledgeable of the city and loved to share the information. Our guide worn a microphone so it was easy to hear him with all the hustle and bustle of the city. Our only regret was that we didn't do a longer tour, we weren't ready to get off!
Awesome experience, the tour guide was very knowledgeable, and entertaining. Loved it very much!
We rode with Footloose and his amazing tour guide. It was simply amazing to hear the rich history of Louisiana. Our tour guide was so much fun! Don’t miss out on this opportunity if you’re in NOLA!
We absolutely loved our tour! Our tour guide Tricia was phenomenal and our Mule Frida was entertaining. We would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting town or returning. Good for the whole family!!! We took our 13 year old and 10 year old and they were able to learn the history of the town while enjoying a cool breeze at night
This was amazing. Loved the history told by our guide Ron and the ride by our handsome mule Bernard. Will do again.
This tour provided us with a great overview of the French Quarter and NOLA in general. Our tour guide shared very interesting little known insights on the city and also answered our questions. If you are just visiting New Orleans for a couple of days, this is a great way to get introduced to the place.
The tour was great. Justin, our tour guide, was knowledgeable about not only the history of New Orleans but also care for the mule pulling our carriage. It was a great experience and would highly recommend it to anyone that's looking for a chance to expand your understanding of a unique slice of our great nation!
What a wonderful way to see the French Quarter! We had the most amazing time with our guests and the tour guide. The carriage rides are iconic- the stories memorable. I would not choose any other way to experience the French Quarter.
Our Carriage Driver, Jonathan & his partner Coca-Cola were amazing! It was our first time in the city, we did the 60 min tour! Jonathan was so knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the history of New Orleans! Coca-Cola was a great host as well! Highly recommend!
My mother and I made a second trip to New Orleans this past weekend after visiting back in December
Both times we chose Royal Carriages and asked for Lucy with Marie who were EXCELLENT!!
Knowledge and friendliness superb!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH AGAIN!!
Lucy deserves two bonuses for both trips and Marie two vacation days please
A very thankful Ann and Brian 😀
My husband and I had a great time. Our guide KJ was fantastic and gave us so much history, along with spooky stories and a good sense of humor. And our mule Lou was a tough cookie pulling us through loud traffic and raucous crowds without flinching a bit. Highly recommend!
One of the best parts of our New Orleans. Our driver was amazing. Gave us a lot of great history. Loved his passion for the city and its historical figures. The mule was great too. Highly recommend.
This was so fun! Besides the food it was the best experience we had in New Orleans. The mules are smart, delightful animals. I wished the tour had lasted longer. I highly recommend Royal Carriages to anyone visiting who want a unique experience!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our carriage ride. our tour guide was Marty and he is very knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans. Also loved his sweet mule named Star Blaze. The tour is an hour long which is great!
We really enjoyed our carriage ride with the family around the French quarter and learned all about the historical sights there in the city . We also had a great and funny tour guide Phil that made is that much better. Will Definitely use them again. And phiona is the best ....Ellen from Alabama !
We have taken this company’s tour many times over the years, but Limon was the best tour guide! You can tell he loved his job, and made everything memorable.
His history and stories were excellent and fact checked, and Footloose was a fabulous mule! We would recommend them to everyone!
We went on the hour long carriage ride around Jackson Square and the French Quarter. Our driver was Charlie. He was very knowledgeable about the different buildings and restaurants. I left my jacket in the carriage after our ride. Charlie called me and told me when he would be working and where I could meet him to get it the next day. We all really enjoyed our ride.
Cole was our mule and Mark Orfila, a New Orleans native, was our guide. Being able to go on the narrow streets of New Orleans with someone intimately knowledgeable about the city was extraordinary. Mark told us things and events that only a native would know. I highly recommend taking this tour!! We even discussed how to cook the best red beans and rice!
We did a private tour and Jonathan was super attentive and knowledgeable. Magnolia, the mule, is so smart and didn't seem to need the driver at all but I'm sure that's a testament to excellent team work between the driver and Magnolia. The company also called us before hand to make sure we knew how to get there or had any questions. They certainly didn't have to do that and could have hoped for no shows or late arrivals and just take the money. Truly a testament that they are there for you to enjoy the French Quarter and deliver customer service!
One of the best ways you can tour the French Quarter without having to walk everywhere!
We rode with Desire the mule, and unfortunately I forgot the tour guide’s name. Desire was quite a show the night we rode with her, she definitely has a mind of her own, but such a beautiful animal. The tour guide was very informative and took us around all the historic landmarks in the French Quarter, and so much to learn from her. She shared some historic haunts, and she seemed to know so much about each building we saw.
We had a wonderful experience on our carriage ride with Jonathan and the mule Coca-Cola! Jonathan is extremely knowledgeable about New Orleans' history and other parts of the south, and was great with our 9 and 7 year old kids too. Highly recommend Royal Carriages if you are visiting New Orleans and interested in learning about its history and culture.
We recently took a Royal Carriage tour while visiting the French Quarter in New Orleans. Our coachman, Johnathan, was well-spoken and knowledgeable about his city. He treated his steed, Coca Cola with a respectful authority and concern for her welfare. Our ride was informative and enjoyable. We would definitely recommend taking a tour with Royal Carriages next time you visit New Orleans!
The best part of our visit was a carriage ride with Lucy and Marie. Lucy was so entertaining and gave us a great education! She and Marie are definitely a team and work so well together. It’s so nice to go on a tour where you can ask questions and get them answered instead of the standard script. We’ll be back for more tours!
We had a wonderful time taking the carriage ride in New Orleans. Sarah was our driver and guide. Armstrong was our mule. Sarah was very knowledgeable and fun. We learned all kinds of information about the French Quarter. I highly recommend this activity. We had a great time!
Loved the tour! The tour guide was great and was an amazing storyteller. The people helping us check in were very helpful in getting us where we need to be. Highly recommend! If you love history then you won’t be disappointed
Great experience - you should check them out too! Very highly recommend the hour tour - you get to see so much. Lucy (tour guide) knows every detail of this area from the old history, every restaurant, bars and nightlife, you name it. She was an excellent guide and Marie the mule was great.
We chose this experience because it's one of New Orleans staples; riding around town in a carriage and listening to the history of the town beats walking around anytime. I had my 12 yr old with me who really enjoyed this experience; our tour guide( her name escapes me right now) and her mule Armstrong did wonderful job.
I would definitely recommend this and anyone no matter what age
We had a good time. The carriage ride was nice way to see a little more of the quarter without having to walk it! Our driver, a female, was friendly , knowledgeable,and well spoken.
It’s really more of a history talk with a few stories about voodoo legends and ghosts. I was hoping it would be a bit more haunted! We would do it again!
Amazing tour! Armstrong is a phenomenal story teller, who tailored our tour to the things we were interested in (we had a private tour). So knowledgeable. Seeing city at night via carriage added to the spookiness 👻 Absolutely recommend! Favorite part of our trip! …
Great experience with Mark O! He was kind, knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, and was clearly passionate about Cole’s well-being. Highly recommend!
It is a lovely experience. Our tour guide clearly loved his mule, and his mule loved him back. They go through the French Quarter and give info on the architecture, the colorful history and notorious stories. It's a comfortable way to tour the quarter
My family and I had a great time during this Ghost tour. Royal Carriages is in the French Quarter and I have done a tour with them every time I’ve visited New Orleans. Its a comforting way to tour the city and hear the history and ghost stories of New Orleans. This is a tour I will definitely be going back to and take my friends and family. Thank you guys for such a fun time.
Being “sent off” in a royal carriage following our wedding night was one of our favorite moments of our entire wedding weekend. My husband and I both agree that it was so nice to have that special time together where we were able to truly let our entire wedding journey soak in, all while riding through the French quarter and sipping champagne! There’s no better way we could have enjoyed our very first moments together as a married couple. It’s truly an experience we will remember for a lifetime and one we would definitely like to experience again!
My wife and I generally shy away from things that we think are totally tourist. However, we decided to try the Royal Carriage tour and are very happy that we did. The driver, Mark O., was absolutely terrific and made the tour extremely pleasant. He seemed to work flawlessly with Cole, the mule.
Nice enjoyable ride threw the French Quarter area. Very interesting to hear the stories of the area and also to visit the quiet areas of the French Quarter.
Today my husband and I had a wonderful tour of the French Quarter and Marigny Neighbourhood with carriage driver Mark and Cole the mule. Mark shared his vast knowledge of the history of New Orleans and a few corny jokes. Thanks for entertaining us this afternoon. I’d recommend that visitors to New Orleans take a carriage ride.
Our girls' trip to NOLA began with a carriage ride through the French Quarter. WE LOVED IT! Our mule was Blaze and the driver, Marty, was very entertaining...sharing excellent historical tidbits with us along the way. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
My group had an amazing experience! Charlie P. and Moon are a great pair. We learned so much about the French Quarter. He told us the best and worst places to eat, the hidden history of the city, and some fun facts about the buildings. I highly recommend them!
Sarah was a great tour guide! We had so much fun learning about the haunted, morbid, and interesting history the French Quarter and New Orleans have to offer. A great way to spend our first evening in NOLA!
Amazing ride carriage ride with KJ and Lou in the French Quarter of New Orleans! Snapped these photo's of ectoplasm moving in front of the LaLaurie Mansion. Creepy!
We rode the carriage pulled by Desire. She is a sweetheart and our guide was very sweet. I would recommend taking a tour and relaxing.
My friend and I took a half hour tour with Jonathan and Magnolia. Jonathan was a wealth of knowledge. He was so nice and willing to please his customers. Magnolia was a very patient mule and kept us safe while trotting down the streets of the French Quarters. Thank you Royal Carriages for providing this service to us tourists.
Rich and his trusty sidekick, Shine, showed us the beat of the city with passion and heart. We liked absolutely everything about this leisurely clop through the bustling Quarter! He's a confident driver, knowledgeable, friendly, able to answer your questions and make solid recommendations. Even offered to take epic snaps of our memorable ride. Don't hesitate to splurge on this enchanting dance with the Crescent City.
My family loved it except for one thing. They desperately need a mic and speakers. It’s a small investment but it will give the customers a better experience. I was in the third row and it was hard to hear at times. It must’ve been impossible to hear in the fourth row. Shanin was a great tour guide. He was cool and took pauses at all the right moments. He made it fun to ride the carriage. I will do the tour again but sit in the front if there is no audio system. Overall, we enjoyed it and had a good time.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 1 hour carriage tour of the French Quarter! Our guide, Jonathan was witty, entertaining and quite informative. He explained the rich heritage and culture of New Orleans and the French Quarter with passion and enthusiasm. The mule, Coca-Cola negotiated narrow streets, busy traffic and an impatient horn-honking garbage truck driver flawlessly!
On time, had our reservation. Our mule Magnolia was beautiful. Tour guide was excellent, totally picked up on what was the most interesting to us and gave us lots of insight not only into the history but great and little trafficked sites to visit. The Marigny was stunning.
We had a blast on the haunted tour. Our guide was wonderful and super informative!
Awesome ride. Tour guide was wonderful!!! She gave great stories about the city and even the kids really enjoyed her stories and had nothing but great things to say about her!! Very nice way to relax after the daytime bustle of bourbon street.
A wonderful excursion! Lucy, our tour guide was informative, and so much fun!! Marie the mule was smart and sweet and added to the charm of the tour. It is a great way to learn about NOLA cultures. It was a highlight of our trip!
Tour guide was very kind, funny, and knowledgeable. Slightly disappointed because it showed in the images for the tour and the listing we would be going by the LaLaurie Mansion and we did not. That was the main reason we took the tour, so we wished we had been able to see that mansion. We had a nice time, regardless seeing the city via carriage.
My husband and I received an Anniversary GC to spend the evening on a carriage ride in New Orleans. Matt with Royal Carriages did an amazing job as a tour guide. He gave us many a fun story and made the experience outstanding. We'd highly recommend this ride through the French Quarter!!
Thanks, we will be joining you again someday soon!
If you intend on doing this do it your first day in town. This ride was a lot of fun with great stories. You get to see a lot of the French quarter so it will give you an idea where stuff is. We had Armstrong and he was so sweet. Highly recommend
The carriage ride was the highlight of my trip! This was my fourth time in New Orleans and my first carriage ride. I got to go to parts of the city I hadn’t been to before and the history my driver gave to us was fascinating. The guide was knowledgeable and a sweetheart. I don’t remember his name but it was initials…something like K.J. and the mule was Magnolia😀 It was the 7:30p tour and the photos color have not been tampered with. This was how lovely the evening was that night in the French Quarter!!
Our family loved our private carriage tour with Charlie P. and Moon! Charlie shared lots of history of the Quarters as well as many recommendations of places to visit and dine. We take an annual trip to the French Quarters. We now have many new places we want to checkout on our next trip here. We highly recommend Royal Carriages to enhance your experience in the French Quarters.
Our tour guide (Casey/Kasey - name may be spelled wrong) was amazing. She was detailed and extremely informative in sharing NOLA history and possible myths. The next time my family visits NOLA, we will definitely reserve seats on the Royal Carriages.
To our tour guide; again thank you for helping in making memories for my family and I.
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Charlie and his mule Moon. He was raised in New Orleans And his stories were fascinating! We went back to visit many of the places he shared with us After our ride! Felt like we were traveling with a family member! Thank you from the Chicago girls!
My friends and I had an amazing carriage ride tour with Jonathan and Magnolia. JH was very familiar with the history of Louisiana and shared many interesting facts! Magnolia his horse was beautiful! We really had a great tour! Please book them when you are in Louisiana.
Our guide was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and also asked the patrons what they wanted to learn about. He didn’t read as if from script it was all genuine and you could tell he was proud to be from New Orleans. Highly recommend for anyone that is a history buff.
We had a great time learning about the wonderful city of NOLA all the ends & outs, the old haunts & new! Our driver/tour guide was amazing very sweet, funny & informative! Can't wait to book again on our next trip back!
My wife and I enjoyed a memorable tour with Royal Carriages while touring New Orleans. Carriage driver Lucy was well versed, and kept us engaged learning about the history of New Orleans. Lucy was fun and kept everyone relaxed and happy to be in her carriage with Marie doing the heavy work. I would highly recommend Royal Carriage touring with Lucy and Marie.
The overall experience was truly memorable and satisfying. The only issue was my wife and I being tourists were adjusting to the new orleans culture.We were a bit late to appointment due to no place to park as well as slow moving traffic and pedestrians. Almost were left and told we may lose our money. However we made it just as the carriage was pulling off. This would have been devastating seeing that we were celebrating my wife's birthday driving from 12 hours away. There should be a 15 min grace period to allow for tourist adapting to the area. Besides this the overall experience was great.
Great time. K J is very knowledgeable about New Orleans and it's history. The tour was his last for the night. He did not rush to get done, in fact took his time and we were out over the hour. Pretty Boy was his mule. He did great, knew where he was going and did so. Was fun watching him listen to his commands and follow them.
It was a fun & informative ghost tour, but the best part was Frida the mule. I was happy to see she was healthy and well groomed.
We enjoyed our carriage ride with our guide, Mark and our mule, Cole. Mark had great stories and was very informative. He knew a lot of New Orleans history. It was amazing how gentle and calm Cole was maneuvering through the narrow streets and traffic. Would definitely take another tour with Mark and Cole!
Ron was amazing. We're from NOLA, but wanted to treat our daughters to a carriage ride & your. Very educational & informative. Ron stayed engaged and kept us entertained. Well definitely be back
Charlie P and Moon were great. We had a relaxing ride and it was fun to hear a lot of history of the area .
Wonderful and thorough historical tour of the French Quarter and Marigny by Jonathan our guide and lovely carriage ride by his long eared partner Magnolia! They truly enjoy their work and know the area well. Our family had a great time and would highly recommend it!
Mark O was a fantastic driver. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the French Quarters and his dad jokes were pretty good.
Cole was a very well mannered mule.
I would highly recommend this duo to anyone.
Shannon did a nice job of bringing to life some legendary characters from New Orleans history. We were especially entertained by hearing the ghost story at a place we were going to be dining at. Shannon’s care for the mules was obvious. Good way to get around as alternate to walking tour.
Our buggy ride was amazing! Our guide Jonathan and our mule Coca Cola were a wonderful team! Jonathan was so energetic and shared tons of fun information about New Orleans history and culture, we didn’t want the ride to end! Can’t wait to go back and do another tour—just hope we get Jonathan and Coca Cola again!
We had an awesome time with our guide Steph and Ivan-the youngest mule out there! Steph had lots of great details and stories and the dog that set in right before the tour really helped to set the scene. It’s great to have a tour guide that is full of so much knowledge and also clearly enjoys their job and cares deeply for their animal companion. This tour made our first trip to New Orleans a memorable one. Highly recommend.
Great history and sights to see. Your host will tell you all about the history of the buildings that you will see. Also where some of the best spots in the city to eat and hear music. History of the people as well.
We had a wheel that the track came off so that is the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 . It did take a little away from our tour. Otherwise would recommend it, great fun.
The tour was amazing! Lucas was our tour guide and Praline pulled our carriage! We had such a great time and learned a lot of New Orleans history! 10/10 would recommend to everyone traveling here or that lives here as well!
Our experience with Royal Carriages was great. Lori was handling our reservation and there was a change in their schedule due to a visit from a foreign dignitary and she was very helpful in working with us to reschedule our reservation. Our carriage driver, Lucy, was fabulous - knowledgeable, funny and highly entertaining.
Loved our History and haunt carriage tour, perfect way to see the French quarter and its dark history without having to walk around. Our guide KJ was knowledgeable and fun and his beautiful mule Lou transported us safely around the city at night. Highly recommend.
Marty and Blaze did a great job on our tour today. We went all around the Quarter and the Metairie and learned so much. It was super enjoyable.
The horse and carriage was a surprise to my wife after our second line band and wedding. The horse was stunning with really cute pink painted shoes lol. The carriage was plush, clean and comfortable. The driver was pleasant and the ride was so smooth through the French quarters. We felt like queens as we celebrated our grand finale! It was truly the most memorable ending to our special day.
We can’t replicate this experience and so happy we chose this company.
I cannot express enough how awesome and informative this History and Haunts tour was. It was so interesting. Lemen was our guide and he was AMAZING. He knows his stuff so well that he welcomes people to double check it. I booked this tour before my trip. I sent a message before hand asking if all 5 members of the party would be able to ride on the same carriage. This was well after hours. I received an automated message letting me know it was after hours and someone would respond the next business day. It wasn't even 30 minutes later that I received a message from an actual human assuring me that that would happen. I also got a call a few hours before the tour just making sure that we only had 5 in the group so that we could be accommodated. That is amazing to me especially in a world where most people don’t seem to care very much about others anymore let alone quality in a business. You can tell these guys love their animals, respect these animals, love their job and LOVE their city. Thanks so much, Lemen, AND Royal Carriages for making my first NOLA carriage tour so exceptional.
The carriage ride itself was suitable for the occasion and the tour guide did his job exactly as he should have- which was to ensure a fun, positive experience. However, the stories told were obviously far-fetched from the truth despite being a "true story." The carriage ride was an hour long which allowed the tour to only travel several blocks to see A FEW historical landmarks (buildings) and hearing about their history. I can say I did it once but most likely won't do it again.
We really enjoyed this. We had a great guide that told great stories. He was fun and personable. We saw parts of the French Quarter we had never seen before and learned a lot more about the historical events of New Orleans.
A few weeks ago my husband and I had a great experience with Jonathan as our guide and Coca-Cola the mule. Jonathan was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and great at connecting with everyone on the carriage. Overall, it was a wonderful New Orleans experience that we would recommend to others.
So enjoyable! The 6pm evening "Haunted French Quarter" carriage tour was relaxing, cozy (warm blankets provided), extremely interesting, and also friendly and humorous. Learned so much about the French Quarter's traumatic and haunted history from our guide that leaves one in both awe and deep sadness for those who suffered extremely unfortunate circumstances. Was an educational
highlight of our trip to New Orleans.
The tour I went on was great! The guide was so knowledgeable and I felt like stopped for the right amount of time at each historical site to give a good thorough history. He was very funny and made some good jokes along the way. Would definitely recommend Royal Carriages.
Jonathan and Magnolia the mule were delightful Tour guides! My friend and I had so much fun. Jonathan was knowledgeable and funny. We learned a lot about New Orleans. Magnolia was a sweet heart. Not stubborn at all.
Lucy and her mule Marie were awesome! Very informative and super helpful with interesting info on where to go and what to do in New Orleans. The tour was worth every penny. A must when visiting!
Great outfit. Jonathan, our carriage driver was professional and friendly. He answered all our questions about the French Quarters area. He and Pretty Boy make a good team. Definitely, we will recommend Royal Carriages to our friends as the best tourist attraction when visiting New Orleans.
Really enjoyed our carriage ride with our driver Mark and Cole the mule. Mark was super cool and very knowledgeable, showing us great sights of the city that we wouldn't otherwise catch if we were walking. Highly recommend!
Have been to New Orleans many times but first time experiencing this happening. Was entertaining, full of history and beautiful time by all in my party. Thanks so much! The tour guide was great, knowledgeable and made it so worthwhile.
Took the last tour of the night on Sunday. James was our driver/guide & he told us lots of great history & stories. He was informative but also funny. We enjoyed the ride & tour. A true must while in NOLA!!
Amazing tour with Lucy and her mule Marie! She is an incredibly knowledgeable and funny tour guide. She also went above and beyond to provide a good experience- from working to find us a tour that left in our time frame to stopping for an urgent bathroom break. Could not have asked for a better experience.
My college girlfriends and I did a half hour carriage tour with Jonathan early November. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining and we learned a lot about our mule, Coca-Cola, and the areas around the French Quarter. Highly recommend!
Our tour guide was wonderful. We’ve been to New Orleans dozens of times, but we learned so much about the history that we never knew. Now we have even more places we want to go back and visit. We highly recommend taking this tour.
This was an amazing experience, our driver was awesome. He made the ride highly enjoyable and very informative. My fiance and I learned a lot. I believe his name was Slack. The Mules name was Eliza Jane. Yall should definitely book with them. They take really good care of their mules, and put them first. They are first rate.
Mark O took us on a great tour and he really knows his stuff! Some of his jokes were even borderline not-bad! (don’t tell his boss)
We enjoyed the carriage ride in the French Quarter and John was a great guide. His stories, tips and humor made it such fun. Thanks!
We visited NOLA and saw these carriages and knew we had to do one. You just walk up and ask to ride and they'll tell you all about the rates (we paid $60 a piece for an hour long). You can get a private carriage for more money, but we chose to wait for more riders. Two other people joined us eventually and we were off. Our guide was Lucy and her mule is Marie and they were amazing. Super knowledgeable and funny too! I highly suggest doing this, you'll learn so much more about the city and the history, and Lucy was awesome! Plus her mule was decorated for mardi gras which was some added fun. Definitely check them out.
Charlie and Moon were great. We have been to New Orleans twice trying to self guide. We promised our selves the next time we go we would book a carriage tour. We are glad we did. Charlie was very knowledgeable about the history and points on interest and informative tips to go and have some great food, entertainment and drink's.
The tour was awesome and the tour guide was amazing. He went above and beyond and made it a really great experience. They guy taking the tickets however, was rude and unaccommodating. I do recommend the tour but took a star off for that guy. Make sure to leave a note while purchasing if you want to sit with others who purchased separately.
I set up a private tour for my older mother and her three friends. The booming was seamless and they raved about how wonderful it was! Highly recommend. And tip your tour guide; they’re historians and work so hard no matter the weather.
We did two tours with this company today. Mike R. was our guide this afternoon and did a great job. We learned so much about New Orleans history. This evening we did a Haunted tour with Lucas. Wow, I never knew New Orleans had such a creepy past. We had an awesome experience! Definitely worth the money!!
Matt and Miss Kentucky were the most gracious tour guides. Knowledgeable and witty. Considerate of guests with limited mobility. Would absolutely go on one of their tours again and recommend to friends.
Good luck Miss Kentucky with your kinesiology degree!
Very good carriage ride. The tour guide was very talented to be able to drive the mule and cart and tell stories. She did a great job very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend the activity.
We have come to New Orleans a few times. We decided to do a carriage ride, best decision ever. Our tour guide Mark was very welcoming. Not only was he knowledgable on the history & culture but his off-beat humor brought life to the ride & made it feel like you were walking thru a history book on real time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED EXPERIENCE!!!
Jonathan and Coca-Cola were the best! He was very informative, funny and clearly thoughtful for his mule. Coca-Cola was well trained and super smooth for only being "on the job" for a short time. Well worth the time and money!! Thank you!!
We were in town for our 3rd wedding anniversary and this was my first trip to New Orleans. Johnathan was our guide and Magnolia was our mule; both were incredible!!! Johnathan was very knowlegeable and funny. They both made the tour of the French Quarter informative and fun.
We had a splendid time with Kaycee and Blondie last night! It was a wonderful tour and we learned so much on the history of New Orleans. Kaycee's stories were engaging, fun, and we spent the rest of the evening talking about the haunted stories we learned of. The tour was well worth the money and we'll do it again when we come back!
The ride was comfortable and informative. It did end a little early and when paying 60.00 a person for a family of five you really like to get every minute of what you are promised. The only issue was the three wheel vehicles that were parked near the carriages. The city really should limit the volume of the music coming from those machines. They were very disruptive to our trip in general but dangerous for the mules, carriage drivers and passengers.
What a fun tour of Jackson Square, Frenchman, Bourbon St, Suzy was hilarious and was super knowledgeable. Marie Laveau was our mule and what a sweet girl! Great way to see the city! Highly recommend!
We arrived 20 min early and met James. Chatted for a few minutes. He had been doing this for about 10 years and introduced us to Pearl, the mule and allayed any worries about her ability to haul a full carriage of tourists. He was funny, well versed and informative about the local color and history. He was also very patient with a couple of people’s distracting questions. We were VERY glad that he was our guide and would suggest you seek him out if possible!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the haunted tour of New Orleans. Our guide, Lucas, was very informative and funny! His mule Praline was beautiful. Had a great time!
I did the 30 minute carriage tour with Lucy and her fabulous mule Marie last week. At first I wasn't going to based on the price, but I'm very happy I did. Lucy was an excellent tour guide and knew so much about the city. The rest of the night I was dropping fun facts to my friends. Highly recommend it!
Tour was lots of fun, took exactly an hour and our mule Cole was neighborhood famous! Unfortunately, it started to rain a little but the carriage was covered and our driver Mark was so nice he gave our daughter his jacket. You could tell Mark is passionate about his job and his city.
My husband and I used Royal Carriages while in New Orleans and Lucy was our driver; Marie was the mule and did an excellent job! Lucy was so knowledgeable about the city and she is funny also. We learned so much about New Orleans and it was well worth the money. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend both Lucy and Marie!! Absolutely fantastic job!
an absolute blast. Shannon and Rancher were a ton of fun. Very knowledgeable and interactive with the group. would recommend!!
This was a great experience while visiting New Orleans! Our tour guide KJ was the best! Very knowledgeable about the area, funny and had a bubbly personality. We enjoyed Lou, our transportation for the night! I recommend this tour and KJ 100%
I had not been to NOLA before and never really knew much about the history. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Sincerely enjoyed our ride. Thank you and highly recommend them.
We had an enjoyable trip through the French Quarters today. It’s Monday so it wasn’t overly crowded. Our guide was so nice and gave us tips on several restaurants. I loved her presentation and even learned a few things about the Quarters I didn’t know. Everyone should take the carriage ride at least once, it gives you and overview on what you need or want to explore. No problem getting booked and we got right on when the time came, no waiting(very important to me). 5Stars all the way!
Mark and Cole were great! Mark shared so much history of the city with us, and we saw parts of the city we had not seen or even knew about. We definitely would recommend Mark and Cole as your tour guides!
Had a wonderful time and gained a lot of knowledge on the history of The French Quarter, New Orleans. Marie, the mule, was excellent and very well trained. I would highly recommend Royal Carriages if you are near and looking for an entertaining and informational time, or if you are just trying to figure out which stores you want to visit along the Quarter.
We booked an hour long carriage ride around the quarter for my sister and her husband right after their pirate wedding! They brought along the nieces and nephews and it was so fun and lovely. Booking it was easy, very good communication, great service, very flexible and accommodating. Would do it again for us or out of town guests!
Marty was an awesome tour guide!! This tour was beautiful, interesting, and entertaining! Lots of great stories and history shared and gorgeous photo ops framed by the pretty red fringe of the carriage. Loved this carriage ride so much!
Mark O. put on a great tour for us. He was very personable, easy to talk to & gave us an amazing insight on the city of New Orleans! Also, his dad jokes were top tier! Thanks for an unforgettable experience!
What a great way to learn about some of the history in the French quarter. John was our tour guide and was very knowledgable about the area. He gave us some great recommendations for food and things to do in the area! Definitely recommend a tour with Royal carriages.
Had an amazing experience with Jonathan and Magnolia. Lots of great info, saw some beautiful homes, and even had a few laughs. Jonathan was full of personality- really enjoyed him - and Magnolia gave us a smooth ride.
We had such a wonderful ride with Lucas and Praline. Lucas told some great information we hadn't heard yet, took us by some nicely decorated homes as well as the home of Marie Laveau. Praline is such a beautiful mule with just a bit of stubbornness at times but we totally enjoyed the ride.
My husband and I were recently in New Orleans for my birthday and booked a private carriage tour of The French Quarter as part of the trip.
Fiona S was our carriage driver and O’Reilly was our very pretty mule.
Fiona was so knowledgeable and was great with O’Reilly - including how she expertly handled a few impatient drivers. She was happy to answer all our questions and made sure the tour covered what we wanted to learn about.
I can’t recommend them enough!!
5 stars even though we didn't tour... we purchased tickets a few weeks before our tour date. The weather was terrible the day of our tour and it was cancelled. I was notified very early in the day with a text and a call, and we were given the option for an immediate refund, or to try to catch a ride at any time on our vacation that was easy for us, no matter the day or time. Because of our schedule, we were unable to attend, and got a full refund 2 days later. Rating 5 stars because I appreciate that kind of customer service.
Jonathan was an awesome guide. He was witty and entertaining. His mule, Coca Cola was very well behaved. I highly recommend this tour. Wonderful experience.
Matt and his faithful mule, Kentucky, were fabulous! Matt told us many fascinating stories about the history of NOLA which included stories of spirits that continue to roam the Quarter. I highly recommend a tour with Royal Carriages.
Matt gave us a fantastic tour with Ms Kentucky around the French quarter. He was super friendly and knowledgeable, answering all our “off script” questions enthusiastically. It was a really unique experience!
We enjoyed our private carriage ride with Fiona and O'Reilly. We did the hour long tour and it took us to sites we hadn't seen before. We appreciated the history on the 911 on houses after Hurricane Katrina.
We enjoyed the leisurely ride through the French Quarter.
Great tour! Our guide was very personable and extremely knowledgeable of New Orleans history! Our mule, Patsy Cline, made for a smooth ride as well! Highly suggest this tour!
This was a great way to start off our visit. Mark and Lagniappe were great. Mark was very knowledgeable about New Orleans and it’s history and he made the ride fun. Definitely recommend!
This was an awesome experience, the tour was informative and most of all fun. Shannon and rancher killed it. The only thing is he said the jokes would get worse as the tour went on but they only got better!!!! Rancher deserves 2 extra treats. Will definitely be back!!
The tour was ok, not really a ghost tour. Lucas did provide a lot of good info and praline was very good taking us around. I would recommend this if you just want a relaxing carriage ride but if you are looking for a frightening experience this is not the tour for you.
We enjoyed our tour of the French Quarter and Marigny. Our driver was knowledgeable and personable and provided just the right anecdotes and information about the two neighborhoods’ histories, architecture, and place in New Orleans culture. He also gave us advice on one of our future destinations, Jackson, MS.
Our tour guide Marty was very knowledgeable and personable!! It was a fantastic experience to add to our first time in New Orleans. The carriage was clean, nice and well-kept.
Casey was our carriage driver. EXCELLENT! Knowledgeable and pleasant. Carriage and horse were in excellent condition. We would absolutely ride again. Make sure you book your ride with Royal Carriages when in New Orleans!!!
I visited New Orleans earlier this month with my 14 year old daughter. Mark and his mule Cole were one of the highlights of our trip. Mark did a great job providing information about the city as well as giving suggestions on things to do. I’ve been to NOLA many times, this time was by far my favorite! Thanks Mark O and Cole.
Our carriage driver Mark O was so kind, knowledgeable and funny. He handled being interrupted with grace and did not get frazzled. He made sure each person felt included in the tour. There was a detour and he handled it like a champ and kept going without letting it affect his tour. Please don’t ever separate him and his mule Cole from each other they are the perfect pair.
KJ our tour guide and Lou the mule were the absolute best!!! We had so much fun! I can't say enough! KJ was knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, and friendly. Helped make our trip to New Orleans truly a memorable experience!!
Mark had an outstanding attitude, from the moment my friends and I were walking down the block he was already cracking jokes. Funny guy, knowledgeable about the town and new just the way all around. Also great relationship with his mule :)
Great experience and great guide! Mark was so knowledgeable and made the whole tour so interesting! Super cool way to start your time there since you’ll know what the main area consists of! Thank you Mark and Cole! (Greatest Mule!)
Fiona S. was really fun! We took a trip around as a last minute decision. It was great. O-Reilly was a character. It was so neat to hear some of the interesting stories about the town!
I’ve been on a few tours in New Orleans, but our carriage tour with Shannon and his trusty mule O’Reilly was by far the best! It was both informative and entertaining and my family enjoyed every moment! Thanks!
Matt and Armstrong were an awesome team and gave us an enjoyable journey through the city. Matt was very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, and gave us a terrific tour. Would highly recommend Matt and Armstrong both.
I really enjoyed this tour. Sarah, my tour guide was really knowledgeable about the cities history and made the tour fun. I really enjoyed learning about the history and hauntings of New Orleans, and it was fun being able to see different locations from a carriage at night.
The tour was very informative and interesting. Our driver KJ, had vast knowledge of the city's history and was very engaging.
We went at night time which seems ideal when learning about ghost stories.
Our Haunted History Carriage ride was a nice experience! It was a little on the pricey side at $60 per person, but our guide and our mule, Miss Kentucky were excellent and passionate! It was a cool night! Wish we would have stopped by Cafe du Monde for some hot chocolate before the ride. :)
Lee (Lemen) is the best! He's fun, knowledgeable, and interesting! You couldn't ask for a better carriage tour guide! Trust me, I've taken 2 tours with him and have never been disappointed.
Great tour, Charles and Elisa Jane(the mule) was excellent tour guides. Eliza stopped at every light and new exactly where she was going while Charles gave great info about the tour. We of course would do it again.
We had a ride today with Matt and Kentucky and we throughly enjoyed it! I would totally recommend, we had fun!
Just happened to be in the right place at the right time. We were invited to join a carraige ride through the city for free. Marie Laveau was an amazing mule guiding us through the busy streets and bubbles falling from the sky. Lucy was a great tour guide. We will definitely be doing this again and recommending to others. We were able to see area we would have otherwise over looked.
Matt and our mule Miss Kentucky were amazing! Lots of interesting stories, and the perfect mix of ghosts and history! Matt was hilarious and a great story teller. Bonus, we got to pet Miss Kentucky at the end.
Our guide, KJ was awesome. It’s all about the tour guide and he was the man. 5 stars for KJ. I highly recommend taking the carriage ride through the French quarter. It’s nice being out in the fresh air and roaming around town with everyone waving and smiling at you. Got some great photos too. A must do while in town.
Josh surprised me with a carriage tour of New Orleans during our trip. Our driver, Lofton, and his mule, Shine, did an amazing job. Lofton knew the history of the area as well as the history and purpose of how the buildings were constructed. He was even able to get us a special glimpse into one of the beautiful courtyards that happened to be open that day.
Took a 30 minute tour with Lucy and mule, Marie, in New Orleans. Lucy was very knowledgeable and the ride was fun and a nice way to relax and see sights after walking around all day! Loved it!
Lucas and Praline were excellent tour guides thru the haunted sections of the French Quarter of New Orleans!! Highly recommend the private tour the stories were fascinating and entertaining!! We had a great time!!
We had an excellent historic tour with KJ! He was so knowledgeable about the history and stories about New Orleans. This tour was worth the time and money, highly recommend!
Lieman and Footloose were our fearless leaders and they were fabulous. The haunted history of the area was fascinating. We learned so much and were entertained the entire time. Highly recommend going. My only complaint was I thought the price was a little high for what it was.
Our guide, Matt, was a wealth of information on the history and haunting of the French Quarter. Being in a small group in a carriage was more relaxing and personal than being in a walking group. We had a great time!
Lucy was fun, knowledgeable, and easy to hear. Marie was a fashionista with her painted hooves! We hot treats to feed her after our ride. The ride was worth it! Thanks Lucy for being able to handle our group of eight in one carriage!
We took a 4 person carriage ride and had the driver Jonathan and his beautiful white mule Magnolia. Our driver gave us so much information on New Orleans and the people. The carriage is covered which helped in the heat. I would recommend everyone taking a carriage ride.
O'Reilly & Shannon were the perfect tour guides for the History & Haunts tour. Check-in was friendly and we left on time. Shannon gave great facts and anecdotes throughout the ride that has inspired a fun deep dive into New Orleans history.
Nice leisurely tour of French Quarter. 1/2 hour fit our time and budget.
Carriage Driver Fiona S. Very informative and answered all of our questions. Mule O'Reilly posed for pictures and tolerated impatient autos like a pro.
Great ride.
My aunt and I had an amazing carriage ride :) Jonathan and Coca-Cola go highly recommend. I asked to see the Lalaurie Mansion and he brought us there. Very knowledgeable and inviting to talk to. Coca-Cola was such a sweetheart for it being her 4 week only!
Armstrong and his handler was a wonderful team. I wish we chose a closer seat because we could not hear the complete story at times. She did a great job, but I think it would benefit her passengers if she had some kind of microphone.
People should try this 👏👏👏 …
This tour was delightful. Erma was an absolute dear of a mule and our tour guide Steph was entertaining, friendly, and a wealth of knowledge. The tour was loads of fun and I'm so glad it's the one we settled on. Absolutely recommend
Lucy was a wonderful tour guide full of historical and fun information. We really enjoyed the ride with Marie.
Definitely would do it again.
The carriage ride with my teenage children and parents was wonderful. The guide was exceptional in speaking interesting facts and answering questions. Yes I would repeat or recommend this to my friends visiting NO.
Shannon and Ranger gave SUCH. A great tour!! A lot of times I’ll get bored but they kept my attention the entire time! We went on a haunted ghost tour and he definitely had me sitting on the edge of my seat!
KJ was our host and he was an amazing historian/ driver. He engaged with all of the party on the carriage tour. KJ ensured that he answered any questions we had and allowed time for photos. We were so engaged in his stories that the ride went by way too fast. Very professional and very entertaining.
Our tour guide was awesome. He shared very good information and he was very patient and answered all of our questions. I really liked our horse Lou. If you are in the area I recommentld this tour.
Charlie and Moon were great! Charlie was so knowledgeable and informative as we rode thru New Orleans. Charlie even stopped along the way so we could grab a drink! We have been on many carriage rides, and this one was tops!
Charlie and Moon were the Best Charlie was a Chef in early years in New Orleans and his knowledge of NO was exceptional
Moon the horse was very friendly
Charlie took us on a side street because of traffic and Moon did not want to go because Moon knew it was not the regular route. Amazing horse!!
Ash Charlie and Moon and you will not go wrong!!!
Great experience with our driver Jonathan and mule Magnolia! He was super friendly and very knowledgeable about popular Nola history. A great time with the family and would 10/10 recommend!
Great way to be introduced to New Orleans. Marty was an excellent tour guide. We learned a lot about the history of the city and plotted out places we wanted to visit during our stay.
Gerard (Coach G) was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and keep things upbeat, fun & interesting. We had a great time and would totally recommend Royal Carriages.
We had a good time on the tour. Griffin was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and articulate. We enjoyed the stories. We were googling just as fast as he was sharing the stories and we found him to be very truthful. Pretty Boy, our mule, was very impressive and the relationship between Griffin and Pretty Boy was quite phenomenal. I recommend the tour.
Fantastic tour and Leeman was very thorough, knowledgeable, and extremely entertaining. We would definitely book again the next time in New Orleans, now our favorite destination!
It was a very enjoyable night time ride. Our guide was very informative and funny. Wife and I enjoyed his Witt and personality. We are senior citizen and it was a great night out.
KJ was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. He kept us engaged the whole way. Lou, our mule, was amazing too. Definitely something not to miss while in New Orleans.
Our tour guide Ron and his sidekick Jelly Roll were a real treat. Ron was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly making for a wonderful carriage tour. We would highly recommend Royal Carriages!
Great tour- the driver had great stories. Lots of fun.
Lucy was our guide, and a very fine guide she is ! And Marie Leveau was our wonderful, Incredibly smart mule. It was a fun, relaxing tour, and we learned a thing or 2 as well.
Highly recommend the mule drawn carriage tours.
Jonathan and Magnolia gave us an amazing carriage tour today. Jonathan was well versed in the history of New Orleans and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Highly recommend this tour.
Jonathan, Charlie and Coca Cola were great hosts for our carriage ride through the French Quarter. Good conversationalists and kept our mule on track! Highly recommend
Lucy was great. Very knowledgeable, clearly liked her job, and was funny, which is good and made is less boring for my son. Marie the mule was stubborn and did some funny things, but I guess that's what you expect from a Mule. Luckily we're talking about Marie and not Lucy.
KJ was an amazing and funny tour guide! This was our first time in New Orleans and we learned so much history and culture. Lou was very cute and did a good job taking us around. I’d recommend this tour to anyone and ask for KJ! :)
Great experience!! Our driver Trish was so knowledgeable and friendly. She worked hard to make sure all our questions were answered and our mule Jelly was about as chill as an animal could be.
Matt, was a wealth of spooky knowledge during our tour of the French Quarter. Kentucky the mule provided a smooth ride. Our group considered this tour a highlight during our time in New Orleans. Would take this tour again 100 percent.
Hired Royal Carriages for a group/spouse activity during a conference in NOLA. They worked with my schedule, picked-up and dropped-off at hotel, and provided an all around enjoyable experience for our guests. Also love that their carriages are covered - providing protection from the sun or light rain.
KJ was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and funny. Learned alot if history and haunted stories about New Orleans. We saw great sites and we found out about a really quiet art deco grown and sexy Meterie area. It's a great tour.
Wonderful time!
Our driver was Shannon, who was friendly and fun! The mule was Rancher and he did an absolutely amazing job.
Strongly Recommend
My husband and I did the 30 min carriage tour with Lucy and Marie and it was great! Lucy told us a bunch of history that we hadn't heard about and was very comical too. At the end of the ride, Lucy gave me some peppermints to feed to Marie :) if you are in New Orleans, you should definitely do a carriage tour!
Sara & Armstrong were both amazing. Sara was very knowledgeable and she treated us as new friends, not just customers. She also gave me ideas on new places in New Orleans to explore and learn about.
Highly recommend! We had a great time. Our guide was from New Orleans and knew the history of the city. Would definitely do it again!
We had a wonderful ride thru the French Quarter. Our guide, Mark O, filled us on the the history behind this exciting destination as well as providing us with interesting anecdotes.
Our carriage was pulled by Cole, who is a mule. Did you know that in New Orleans carriages are pulled by mules and not horses?
Jonathan and Coca-Cola were an absolute joy to spend the tour with. Very informational and informative!
Great tour, we really enjoyed hearing all about the history of New Orleans.
Footloose was an amazing companion pulling our carriage thru the French Quarter. Our tour guide was very entertaining, dramatic and informed about history and local lore. I highly recommend this tour company.
Thx, Jason and Amy from Wichita Kansas
Had an amazing time on the hour tour with Marty the tour guide and beautiful blaze. Marty was a wealth of knowledge and Marty was a very sweet gal who deserves all the apples/cookies. I would recommend this tour to all.
Was with Mark and Cole...had a fabulous time...not what I was expecting but still loved the tour!
Everything was Amazing 👏 1st time riding on a Carriage and we really enjoyed it. General was our Mula and he was Very Gentle. The tour guy was very well knowledged and he made the ride very peaceful and fun thanks for everything …
I've been on two tours with them, one history and one haunts, and both were fabulous. The guides are so knowledgeable and personable, as well as clear and easy to hear/understand. No question stumped T-bo(sp?), no matter how random, and we got to see parts of the city I never even though to be curious about but turned out to be fascinating.
Magnolia was a complete sweetheart and let us scratch her ears!
We had a wonderful time on our hour long tour with our guide/driver. Learned so much history and interesting facts about the the French Quarter and surrounding areas of NOLA. Great investment of your time and $$.
KJ was a great guide. He kept the whole night entertaining and had alot of knowledge about the history of New Orleans. Would definitely recommend the 9pm hour tour.
Fun, scenic carriage ride with a knowledgeable and good humored driver. Coach G and his stubborn mule jelly roll were an amazing team and we had a great time. Thank you!!
We had a great time! KJ was fun and provided a solid history with all the great ghostly stories. The Carriage ride was a fun way to take in the the FQ and our mule Lou was a character and took good care of us along the way!
We booked last minute and were able to get a tour. We ended up in Lemen and Footloose's carriage. I'm so glad we did. Lemen's knowlege of the dark history of New Orleans was excellent, he even had pictures to back up his stories. His ability to weave a chilling tale was amazing! Goosebumps were out in force and not due to the cold night. I very highly recommend this tour and tour guide!
I'm so thankful for our Carriage ride. We saw Our Carriage from across the park. We knew Charles was our guy. He was a gentleman from the start. Charles knows New Orleans history. Also he being Italian and a old chef allowed him to give us the low-down on where to go eat and visit. I can't say enough about our ride. Look for Charles he is a Goomba from NYC.1🇮🇹🤝🇮🇹
The driver was KJ with Lou the mule. Both made the experience fun and educational. It is the best way to see the smaller streets without having to walk or try and navigate a car. Highly recommend!
Amazing French Quarter tour with Lucy and mule Marie. Wonderful experience. Very informative and entertaining. My family was very pleased. Highly recommend.
30 minute tour for $150 and 10 minutes of that is the guide talking about the difference between a mule and a horse. It was a fine tour. Probably wouldn't recommend if you love do history and a guided tour.
The best way to see the French Quarter! Awesome hour long tour with Lucy and Marie. Even kept our 2 year old’s attention. Lucy is a trip! Amazingly knowledgeable and witty!
This was such a fun experience! Our instructor was great, and so knowledgeable, I believe his name was Lonny. Such a cool way to explore New Orleans!
The carriage ride with Michael and the Professor was an absolute joy. We highly recommend the 1 hour tour. So much history of the great crescent city.
KJ and Lou gave us a wonderful tour of the French quarter. They gave us remarkable insight into the lesser known gruesome details of the city’s history. We had a wonderful evening!
It was a cool way to see the French Quarter, but expensive for what it was. It was hard to pull out historical information between jokes, and I don’t know how the people in back could hear anything.
We had a wonderful carriage ride through the French Quarter with Royal Carriages. The driver told interesting stories about the history and haunts of the area. If you want a fun time, choose Royal Carriages!
Jonathan and Beignet hosted us for a wonderful ride! Nice and shady with a little breeze, and fancy hooves to boot
Lofton and his mule, Moonshine, provided us with a half hour of fun and entertainment while learning about the history of “ the Big Easy”. Lofton was not only very knowledgeable, but very friendly and funny as well. The three of us on the tour were very happy with our! Highly recommend!
Relaxing and informative. Not as funny as I had hoped. Driver got distracted by several people walking along, people he knew, and would forget what he was saying. I didn’t feel like I learned a ton, but I did enjoy the tour and getting to see parts of the area that I may not have seen on my own. Would still recommend!!
Everything about the experience was great! We purchased our tour online in advance. It was easy and problem free! Email confirmations and reminders made everything easy to find. We provided the confirmation email in person at the corner of Jackson Square, and our carriage was ready early! It was raining, and the carriage was covered, so that was a nice surprise! The seats were soooo comfy too! Lofton was our guide and Po’Boy our mule. Lofton was warm and personable. He remembered each of our names and used them frequently to personalize the experience. We had my 75 y/o father, 14 y/o daughter, and me and my husband. Lofton found ways to bring each of us into the conversations and stories. He told stories that included interesting information about history, culture, and the architecture of the area. From start to finish, we all had a great experience! I’d absolutely do it again next time we are in town, and I highly recommend Royal Carriages!
This was one of the best things we did on our recent trip to New Orleans. We had the best driver, Jonathan, and the best mule, Coca Cola. Jonathan was very informative and entertaining and was a great driver and mule handler.
Carriage drivers; Jonathan and Phillip provided a memorable tour around the French Quarter with the assistance of Magnolia, the well trained Mule. They were funny, very knowledgeable and overall awesome! Would definitely do this again. Worth every dollar!
We really enjoyed our “Ghost” carriage ride. After a week of strange paranormal shows on the Travel Channel (aboard a Carnival Cruise ship), the Ghost ride was a great way to warp my brain and cause very strange dreams the following night. 😎 …
We had a very enjoyable time. The driver/guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The mule was HILARIOUS!! Great way to get to see some “haunts.”
AWESOME & FUN! The tour was perfect. Our guide Lofton, and his mule Shine were very entertaining. Highly recommended and we will do this again! "Thank you" Lofton and Shine.
Tebow was very knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and made our tour very entertaining. Benson was a real gentleman and made us laugh with his braying. Tebow was very good with him. Definitely recommend Royal Carriages, exceptional tour.
Matt and Miss Kentucky were great! Lots of good stories and a great way to see the city. I’d definitely go again. We enjoyed it.
Tour was awesome. KJ was informative and entertaining - great tour guide. Would definitely recommend. Also a nice way to cool off in the heat while seeing the city.
We had a blast on our carriage tour! Our guide Griffin was great and absolutely hilarious. He really knew how to lighten up some pretty heavy stories. And our mule Michaela was a total sweetheart. If you’re looking for ghosts or scares this isn't the tour for you. But if you’re a history buff like me you’ll love hearing about the French Quarter’s dark past. The only negative thing about this tour was that it’s only an hour long :)
KJ and his horse Lou made the tour very fun and enjoyable. Lots of laughs and info.
Had a great time during our history and haunts carriage tour. Special thanks to the star of the show, Armstrong! Never met a mule with more personality. He was running the tour, Sarah was just along for the ride! lol. I kid Sarah did great as well, very friendly and had great repoir. My wife is still telling stories to anyone who will listen about Armstrong the great though, lol.
We have been to the French Quarter many time but this was our first carriage ride. We very much enjoy the history of places we visit and KJ did a great job narrating our route and took us through parts of the city we had not seen yet.
Had a great time. Loved the stories told by our guide (Lucas I think). The ride was comfortable. Will definitely go again when in Nola.
Mark and Jelly Roll done a fantastic job. Very informative and we got a lot of knowledge of New Orleans. Would recommend to all who visit the old area of downtown.
My Friend and took a day trip to Nola.Mark and his mule Cole offered to take us on a tour. Mark was a great tour guide with lots of knowledge of the local history and Cole did a great job pulling us through the busy streets of Nola. If have the opportunity to go to New Orleans you should definitely go for a ride with Royal Carriages
The Royal Carriage was great! James Thiebaud was an amazing tour guide. He was knowledgeable, personable, and really knows how to storytell the history of New Orleans. Wonderful experience all in all.
Very interesting and entertaining excursion! KJ our tour guide was very informative and entertaining. Lou our mule was adorable and was able to guide our whole tour without any assistance.
Lucas lead a fantastic late night tour! Although Praline got a bit stubborn she added to the character of it all and kept us equally entertained. Just got home from NOLA but cannot wait to go back again!
The carriage employee was very knowledgeable and even had photos on his phone to go with the historical stories. Great way to learn New Orleans haunted pass and see the haunted sights while enjoying a carriage ride.
Our History and Haunts tour with Matt and Miss Kentucky was FANTASTIC!!!! We learned so much and saw so many great sites of the French Quarter and the surrounding neighborhoods. We learned so much from Matt!!! What a great tour; we HIGHLY recommend it, and be sure you ask for Matt and Miss Kentucky!
I think the entire experience was amazing our tour guide was amazing and Marie the mule was adorable. I recommend the tour guide that works with Marie, she is funny and knows her history.
We had a phenomenal time on the ride
Lucy made it a lot of fun and was very knowledgeable about the area. We had two little dogs on board and they were made very welcome! Thanks for a wonderful time.
Marty was a great story teller and funny, me and my girlfriend enjoyed all the history of the city he had to share with us. And we can’t forget the beautiful lady Blaze who gave us a smooth ride.
Charlie P and Moon were amazing!! We had an wonderful carriage ride!! Charlie was very informative and Moon lead a smooth carriage ride!! Charlie’s personal knowledge was amazing and made the 2 hour carriage very enjoyable.
We took a wonderful carriage ride in New Orleans. Charlie P. and Moon were amazing. Loved the history lesson from this amazing local. I was able to see the highlights while experiencing the city's local flare!
We thoroughly enjoyed our carriage ride with Fiona S. and O'Reilly.
Fiona was very friendly, professional and informative. We really enjoyed the historical and architectural information. Highly recommend.
KJ was an amazing tour guide!! It was definitely enjoyable to ride in the carriage and hear the history. The slow moving carriage allowed time to see everything and it did not feel rushed at all. I would definitely recommend them.
Lucas and Prauline (sp?) were the best! Took my employees for a Royal Carriage tour and Lucas, our guide, did not disappoint. He was knowledgeable about area history and has the right amount of sass to make it fun. "It's a mule!", "sidewalks are great, you should try it sometime!" LOL.
We had the best time on our History and Haunts carriage ride with KJ and his fabulous mule, Lou! He was funny yet knowledgable at the same time and very adept at driving while interacting with us! Hope to ride with them again soon!
We had such a great time with Matt and Pretty Boy! They showed us a great time touring around New Orleans with the classic history, ghost stories, and humor mixed in. Highly recommend :)
Lucy and Marie were great! Loved hearing about the city and experience the carriage ride. Would come back just for those two! They treat their animals well and that makes me happy as a horse owner! Thank you
Nice carriage ride around historic New Orleans. The Driver was very knowledgeable and the carriage itself was comfortable and clean. Very expensive tour 150.00 for 30 minutes.
Shannon and Pretty Boy were a wonderful team. We had a great ride with them touring the French Quarter. Highly recommend!
My tour guide was great. She really knows New Orleans. Alot of history knowledge and explanation of meanings for curtain phrases used. Thank you for a great time!!!
We had a great experience on our ride. Jonathan and Coca-Cola did a great job and made our first trip to New Orleans that much more memorable!!
Incredible…our very pleasant guide was an incredibly knowledgeable lady and our mule “Desire” was a joy to be pulled through the Quarter by!! Sat afternoon, Oct 1st was our trip-great weather, great experience
Mark O and Cole the mule were fabulous!! Loved his jokes and knowledge of city's history. Highly recommend - you won't regret.
Had a great tour with KJ and Lou! Definitely recommend as an educational tour of New Orleans. Great way to see everything while taking a break from walking.
Mark O was very knowledgeable about New Orleans. We learned quite a few facts on our 1-hour tour. He somehow managed to avoid the numerous street pot holes and he waited until traffic noise was at a minimum to speak.
My family and I had a great experience with Jonathan and Pretty Boy. The history tour was fun and informative. We would definitely do it all over again.
Marty was our guide, he did wonderful job explaining the the history of the different sections of New Orleans. Thank you had a very nice time.
Lori from Largo Fl
Mule Cole and driver Mark took us on a great tour of the city! Great fun -and very informative
Absolutely hands down a must do! Request KJ he was fabulous he made the tour extrordinary!
I rode with Fiona S and a horse named O'Reilly. Fiona was very interesting and had tremendous knowledge about the history of the French Quarter. I highly recommend her to make your trip complete.
Mike was very knowledgeable and very funny. Gotta love a guy with a mule named for 'Fess. Yes, take the ride and be off your feet! The funniest thing was some clown in the Marigny driving a black pickup blowing his horn at us, like that was going to help🙄😂😂😂 …
Our tour guide matt was great. Full of knowledge and great control of his mule and carriage. And of course Ms. Kentucky his mule was amazing and festive
We really enjoyed the carriage tour. It was nice to be able to cover a larger area and see more areas. KJ & Lou were fantastic. KJ was very knowledgeable and told very entertaining stories and was especially adept at handling drunk people in the area. Lou was also entertaining doing her thing. 🤣 …
Very fun tour in small boat. Our tour guide was extremely interactive with gators. We then got stuck ans had to wait for ride back!😳great job,,! …
Jonathan is very knowledgeable and attentive. We enjoyed being with Coca-Cola on her third day of work! They both were entertaining and enjoyable
The tour was great. The guide had done his research. He told us about the coffin girls, and other vampire legends. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
KJ and Pretty Boy's tour was great! He kept our 3&5 year olds interested the whole time, made an emergency bathroom stop, and gave a great history lesson. I only wish we would have done this tour our first night instead of our last in New Orleans so we could have explored the places we passed over a few days. The experience and knowledge provided is worth the investment!
Jonathon & Coca Cola were the dynamic duo. Our tour was perfect and even being locals we learned a lot more history with Jonathon as our tour guide! This is a MUST DO when visiting the city.
We had a great experience. Our driver was very knowledgeable. Ginger took the show. Next time we come down we hope to get the same combination.
We had a wonderful 10:30 pm French Quarter ride with Steph. Steph was knowledgeable, funny, and energetic. Ivan, the mule, was amazing. I highly recommend this tour!
Our guide was very entertaining and we enjoyed the ride through French quarter. He told us many interesting haunted stories about the area.
Great experience!! We will definitely do this again!! The driver (sorry I don’t remember his name) was a wonderful historian and did not sugar coat history! And Ginger, the mule, was a hard working beauty!
We had a great experience. The tour was very informative and educational the host kept our attention and had us engaged. She definitely knows her stuff. Highly recommend.
We had a great time. If in New Orleans, this is a must. The driver was very knowledgeable and very intertwining. Also, Ivan the mule was so sweet.
Our tour Guide Mark was GREAT 😊
Well worth the money. …
Steph & Ivan we’re fantastic guides! Lots of haunted New Orleans history with humor and wit. Would definitely book again!
We had a really good time K.J. Was really knowledgeable about the French quarter and its history. He was very engaging and kept even my toddler entertained.
Great people to take a tour of the French Quarter with!
We personally had KJ and his mule Lou and they were fantastic! He gave a lot of inside and History of the French Quarter.
Mr. “Mike” was an absolute history lesson in motion. Very informative, entertaining, and his partner “Professor Long Ears” knew his commands perfectly. My husband and I would highly recommend this tour.
Jonathan was a fantabulistical guide ! He’s very informative, funny, respectful, and many other great things! Our mule Magnolia was a very good girl, gave us a wonderful ride and listened to Jonathan well !
Very accommodating and easy to work with. Nice blend of history and ghosts along w seeing the Quarter. Great guide - Shannon and impressive mule - PrettyBoy.
Thanks
KJ was our guide but Lou (Loulubelle?) the mule stole the show! KJ was great with both his knowledge and personality-a people guy!! Throughly enjoyed and would send a friend! Ghost Carriage ride at 9pm!
Lucy and Marie were the best guides. Lucy was very accommodating. My first carriage ride in any city because i was always leary of how the mules were treated. They are very transparent with the info. Marie the mule is so smart and beautiful. Thank you so much for all the historical info in this beautiful city.

We had a great time on the New Orleans History and Haunts Carriage Ride Night Tour with our guide, Matt and Miss Kentucky! I would definitely do it again!
We took a 30 minute tour with Fiona S O’Reilly today! We loved the great knowledge & interaction she had with us! Very personable & an asset to your company!
