Whether you call it the Vieux Carré, the French Quarter, or just the Quarter, New Orleans’ oldest neighborhood has attracted visitors from all across the world for over 300 years – and for good reason. Not only are there some of the world’s finest restaurants located here, but the French Quarter is home to some of the most stunning architecture in the country, and yes, it’s a great place to grab a drink (or two).
With 78 square blocks to cover, exploring the Quarter can seem like a daunting task. Luckily, there’s one option that’ll allow you to experience the French Quarter like never before, and the whole family will love it.
You've probably seen this iconic shot of St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square a million times.
Now in its third generation, what started out as a humble operation with one horse and one carriage has evolved into a full-service company with over 50 employees and just as many mules. The family-owned and operated business is the oldest continually operating sightseeing carriage company in the country!
New Orleans is a haunted city - the French Quarter in particular. From Madame LaLaurie’s torturous ways to the ghost of Jean Lafitte, you’ll hear all of New Orleans’ most famous ghost stories and legends on this spirited tour.
For a truly one-of-a-kind experience, treat yourself to a private carriage tour.
Ideal for smaller groups, these carriages can accommodate up to four guests. You can customize your tour more so than the other tours, making it a truly unique adventure!
Royal Carriages offers tours just about every day of the week, but space is limited, so you’ll want to book your tour in advance on its website. Have you ever taken a carriage ride from Royal Carriages? Share your experience with us in the comments!
