Great Experience
I had a great experience booking through Viator! The booking process was easy and straightforward, and everything was well organized from start to finish. The experience itself was enjoyable, and the communication and overall service were excellent. I would definitely use Viator again and recommend it to anyone looking for convenient ways to book tours and activities while traveling.

The carriage ride was a great way for my elderly uncle to see the French Quarter without having to do a lot of walking. Our tour guide, John was very knowledgeable and had plenty of recommendations for things to do afterwards 10/10 would recommend!
Great experience!
Great experience! Cat was our guide and she was excellent! We learned a lot and had a bunch of fun!
AWFUL experience
My husband and I had used Royal Carriages several years ago and had a wonderful, memorable experience, so when we were planning a trip to New Orleans with 6 of our friends, we rushed to book a tour with them again. Unfortunately we had an entirely different experience this time around. We showed up 15 minutes prior, as instructed, and our tour guide was not there. She causally strolled up to us a couple minutes before our tour, guzzling a very large iced coffee out of a straw. We would get to see her slurping away at this enormous drink for the entire tour, often stopping mid sentence to alleviate her unquenchable thirst. We learned very little about the French Quarter, but instead we got to hear about her current boyfriend, her ex boyfriend, her child, how she’s often told she’s too pretty to be a tour operator, and her favorite restaurants. My husband, seeing the pure boredom from our friends, would ask questions we learned from the tour years back in an effort to redirect her and offer some sort of history or fun facts about what we were seeing. She reciprocated my husbands efforts to save this horrific tour by having to watch her send multiple texts to a person she called her “co-parent”. Meanwhile Norma Jean, the horse, was obviously exhausted and would completely stop even when prompted. We sat in the middle of the street with cars honking because the poor animal would not move. Our one hour tour ended at 45 minutes- the first carriage to arrive back. I learned more about this woman’s personal life than the history of New Orleans. A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME.
Great Experience: Royal Horse Carriage
Jonathan was our guide he was very knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans. The horse carriage ride was a great experience! I would definitely recommend this to any new visitors to New Orleans.
