New Orleans Small-Group Haunted History Carriage Tour
Description
The French Quarter is known as one of the most haunted places in America, and with so many ghost tours to choose from, the best choice is this 1-hour carriage tour from the award-winning Royal Carriages, recently awarded the 2018 Louisiana Attraction of the Year Award. Instead of walking around with a large group of people, you'll travel to and from haunted locations comfortably in a mule-drawn carriage guided by a professional tour. Learn about all the history, culture, and architecture in addition to the ghostly spirits that refuse to leave.

Itinerary
This authentic mode of transportation will help you time-travel back to the 1700s and 1800s when death and disease were rampant due to devastating fires, floods, murders, and more! Being that there are only 8-passengers on-board the carriage, the mule-drawn adventure is more intimate and unforgettable. The carriage-driving tour guides are top-rated licensed guides who have been sending chills down spines for over 75 years. Meet and board at the carriage stand located at 700 Decatur Street. As your carriage departs from Jackson Square, your driver/guide will regale you with stories of the city's founding as the carriage passes through the historic French Quarter street.
Travel past landmarks such as Saint Louis Cathedral, Jackson Square, Napoleon House, and more as the carriage wind through New Orleans' oldest neighborhood, the French Quarter. Expect stories that are both historical, entertaining and appropriate for all visitors. It's important to understand the history so that you can understand the spirits that haunt the buildings. New Orleans is considered to be the most haunted city in America. Countless tragedies have happened right in the French Quarter, including devastating floods and fires killing thousands, contagious epidemics resulting in thousands of deaths, and other odd occurrences like weird human torture experiments, medical experiments, love lost, and more. These stories have been documented in police records and history books, and some can be quite alarming! You'll learn about the stories, then about how the "spirits" are letting people know that they are still very present! Do you have goosebumps yet?
View St. Louis Cathedral, the famous landmark and oldest continuously active cathedral in the U.S.
Are you a fan of American Horror Story? If so, you will absolutely see the infamous LaLaurie Murder Mansion, and discover how the true story told on TV is both similar and different from what actually happened inside this house of horrors.

Wife and I had the 10:30p haunted carriage ride on Friday, 7 AUG. We were the only passengers and the crew decided to take the trip with just us. We were all ready for creepy, haunted history of New Orleans and we got historical review of the various areas and ties to entertainment like movies and celebrities and such. The guide was great and very knowledgeable, just seemed to be on a different track than we signed up for.
Friendly Guide , Great Stories and a nice way to see the French Quarter.
It was wonderful. Our driver CJ and his mule Patsy were amazing. Loved the vibe he had through the whole tour and the information.
Very interesting, guide is well knowledgeable. Good history about New Orleans. Guide was very professional and friendly.
Mike and Pretty Boy were our guides. Mike did a good job giving me chills up my spine. A great story teller and knows his information. If they were able to go through more of the streets, it would be better, but RC knows this and they are just following the law. Overall 10/10 Take the tour at night!
It was very informative and interesting !
Really great factual, fun experiences. Would highly recommend. It was a great way to experience the city
Very comfortable ride and easy to hear guide. Interesting facts that led me to explore and do more research when I got home.
We expected this to be a haunted tour and we're all excited about going ... This tour is literally just a New Orleans history tour and nothing at all to do with haunted places ... Tour guide was pretty crude as well and I had my 15 year old daughter with me ... Cringed at some of the things he said with an older couple being at the front of the carriage. My daughter and I were completely bored .. he made a stop by the Ursuline building at sat there for literally over 10 minutes before finally moving on. We ended up having him stop the carriage and we got off, walking back to our hotel. Complete disappointment and not at all was what we thought we signed up for ... If you're looking for a haunted tour, this is definitely not the one to book.
The experience was great. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. It was a blast
