Description

Just as authentic as a plate of beignets or a ride on a steamboat, a carriage tour through old New Orleans is a must for any visitor. For years, carriage tours have been one of the best ways for both locals and visitors to be introduced to the history, culture, and architecture of the French Quarter and surrounding areas. Each carriage driver is a local, professional, and licensed tour guide offering a unique, personal presentation of each historically accurate tour.

These horse-drawn carriage tours in New Orleans also visit the Marigny Neighborhood, known as the Faubourg Marigny. Marvel at the many impressive Creole mansions, colorful cottages, shotgun homes, and the local jazz-filled music district of Frenchmen Street.
