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

Royal Carriages provided poor and rude service. I paid for a haunted tour for my husband and me as a birthday gift while we were visiting from out of state. Our tour was scheduled for 2100 hours, and we arrived at 9:01. The driver of another carriage was already seated and ignored us completely. When another carriage arrived for two other couples, I approached the driver, and he claimed that our carriage had already left. Shortly after, a man on a golf cart arrived and confirmed that our carriage had left at 9:05, which was impossible since we had just arrived at 9:01. Disappointingly, the staff did not attempt to reschedule us for another day. I would advise potential customers to be cautious when choosing Royal Carriages for their tour needs or be scammed!!!!
