Excellent! We can’t wait to do it again. - The Carriage driver (sorry I forgot his name) but the mules name was Benton….he was very polite and courteous to us. He was informative about the city, the architecture and the foods of the New Orleans area and its history behind it. He answered all of our questions and even threw in some history of the Battlefield. We all enjoyed it and we look forward to doing this again. Thank you!

Great Ride! - We rented a carriage to follow the second line at our daughter's wedding for those who could not walk a long distance. Royal Carriage was great. They showed up on time and everyone had a great time.

Fabulous carriage ride - First time we’ve done the carriage ride. Our tour guide, Glen, was absolutely wonderful. His knowledge and obvious love of the French Quarter made it an amazing and educational experience. Thank you so much!! We will definitely encourage friends and family to do it!

Spoke too fast and looked away! Pointless - As a family of 4 adults spending a week in NO French quarter ( so cool) we thought we would do this private tour on our last day. It was disappointing, our guide spoke so fast, and was often turned away ( to look where she was going, I guess understandable but the mule knew the route well). Consequently we could only hear a fraction of what she said, and the speed of delivery was like one of those TV advert disclaimers read so fast in monotone after the advert! In summary, a nice enough ride around an interesting area but really not worth the $300 we paid for a private tour.
