Our tour guide was SO... - Our tour guide was SO knowledgeable about the tour, and everything she was telling us about. Learning about the history of NOLA, the lore, AND being in a carriage was really fun. We will book this tour again next time we are in town. Norma the mule is the sweetest!!

Ghost tour carriage ride - Meeting Lemen and Ginger was definitely a highlight of our trip to NOLA! Lemen told the best stories, showed us a lot of cool spots, and kept us totally entertained. Ginger did a wonderful job navigating the streets and was so well behaved 😊 I would absolutely recommend this adventure when visiting New Orleans!

Luck of the draw on your guide - I’ve been on similar carriage tours as well as walking tours on past trips to the French Quarter and I was excited to share the experience with my husband on this visit. But it really is all about the tour guide. Our guide was informative and the tour was fine…with nothing to compare it to, my husband would probably give it a 4. But I was lacking the personality my previous drivers had brought to the table.

This was a good idea and... - This was a good idea and a good way to see the French Quarter while also getting some history. Because it was a haunted ride we thought nighttime would be good but it was really cold, and we should have done it during the day. Our guide was difficult to understand, we thought he’d use a microphone and he wasn’t always facing us when he spoke, so some of us missed a lot. We think this was overpriced.

Not Worth The Cost - The route through the French Quarter was undeniably charming, and the mule was exceptionally well-behaved and clearly cared for, which was a highlight of the experience. However, the guide's performance left much to be desired. For $60 per person, I expected a polished and professional narrative that showcased the rich history and haunting lore of New Orleans' French Quarter. Instead, the guide's delivery felt haphazard and unprepared. His frequent cursing was off-putting, and some of the stories he shared—like the one about Zach and Abby—were utterly ridiculous and lacked credibility. Rather than adding to the mystique, these tales detracted from the experience. New Orleans is steeped in history and captivating legends, and it’s disappointing that this wasn’t reflected in the tour. A more intelligent, well-researched approach to storytelling could have elevated the ride to something truly memorable. Unfortunately, I walked away feeling that the experience was not worth the cost. If you're considering this tour, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for a more professional and engaging way to explore the haunted history of the French Quarter.

A little bit of rain causes them to cancel - The tour was cancelled at the last minute due to rain. It wasn't raining hard at all. Very disappointing.
