Overview

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 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.

This was incredibly fun. While we didn't see any ghosts, we got a lot of information about why places would be haunted. Our guide, KJ, was informative and entertaining. He managed to make my friend jump so many times with his unexpected changes of tone and volume. I'd absolutely do this again. But next it would probably be after dark.

Carriage ride in the city is the way to go for a haunted tour! We learned all types of haunted history-voodoo, apparitions, ghosts, pirates-you name it as well as history history.

We enjoyed the carriage ride the most… The tour overall seemed like a history tour rather than a ghost tour. I learned a lot about jazz… There were moments of a few ghost stories, but I feel like there may be other ghost tours that have more information on the stories you think about when you think of New Orleans. It was average, but I wouldn’t recommend it to someone.

Enjoyed the tour. I would recommend it for sure. I learned things about the French Quarter I didn't know about. Our driver was great

The tour itself was not terrible. It included some interesting stories and history of New Orleans in general as well as several haunted stories and anecdotes of various locations around the French Quarter. Our guide Jonathan was also super nice and accommodating but had a slightly strange delivery affect that made it a little distracting and off putting for the tour itself.
