Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Jackson Square, 701 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70116
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.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: French Quarter, New Orleans, LA
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?
Duration: 1 hour
Pass By: St. Louis Cathedral, 615 Pere Antoine Aly, New Orleans, LA 70116-3291
View St. Louis Cathedral, the famous landmark and oldest continuously active cathedral in the U.S.
Pass By: Lalaurie Mansion, 1140 Royal St, New Orleans, LA 70116-2706
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.

There aren’t a lot of ghost stories on this ghost tour. Also, the road noise and booming car stereos all around make it virtually impossible to hear what the guide is saying. She tried her very best, but it was hopeless. A nice ride around NOLA, and the miles are adorable, but it was pretty expen...

I want to start off by saying our tour guide had a cute personality, quick to laugh, smile and tell a joke. I truly believe for most people this would have been very enjoyable. The carriage ride was pleasant but the carriage itself seemed in a little bit of disrepair and wasn't very comfortable....
I want to start off by saying our tour guide had a cute personality, quick to laugh, smile and tell a joke. I truly believe for most people this would have been very enjoyable. The carriage ride was pleasant but the carriage itself seemed in a little bit of disrepair and wasn't very comfortable. Our driver, though very witty, joked around more than was informative. Since this was a "haunted history" carriage tour I was hoping for a little bit more historical information of the sights we were seeing more than just the comical side of things. His language got away with him some as well, which again, for most people isn't a problem, but I personally don't care to hear it. I'm sure if there were kids it wouldn't have turned that direction.Tracy D

We started our tour in Jackson Square at night and traveled in a carriage pulled by a donkey (Blondie). It was an interesting tour and so nice not to have to walk. Our guide told us a lot of history and lore. There was you're kids in our carriage so it didn't get too scary.
