French quarters horse carriage ride ... pretty much average - Historical information about various buildings in the French quarter in a horse-drawn carriage, that is all to it. On reaching pick-up point, we were told by others that one can book there itself at more competitive rates so did not feel that this was value for money at 65$ per person.
