Needed more time

Alex_D, Apr 2024

Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a nice stroll through certain parts of the French Quarter, providing context to the rich history of New Orleans. I recommend the hour tour, because the 1/2 hour was too short.

Emily was delightful and provided non-stop information. We asked many questions and she had ready answers. This tour was worth the extra money for a private ride as it felt so up-close and personal. Please choose Royal Carriages when in New Orleans.
