Wonderful way to learn about New Orleans - Today we enjoyed a carriage ride with Mike R. and the mule Frieda. It was a great experience! The carriage was clean and well maintained. Mike was so polite and knowledgeable! Even our 18 year old daughter and 21 year old son enjoyed the ride. All of us learned so much about New Orleans. Highly recommend!

A must do! - We chose this over the Hop on Hop Off bus and were not disappointed. A nice relaxing ride through 3 neighborhoods. The narrator was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the area.

Nice Tour of the City - This was a nice tour through the City. Our guide was informative, but at times spoke a little too fast. Our one complaint would be (since we are true animal lovers), that the mules did not have water to drink before our tour, and it didn't appear that they had it after the tour. Very sad since it was so hot out!
