French Quarter by Mule Drawn Carriage: 60-Minute Tour

French Quarter Mule Drawn Carriage Tour

Explore 300 years of New Orleans history from the comfort of a traditional mule-drawn carriage on this 60-minute guided tour through the French Quarter. Your licensed English-speaking guide shares stories of famous residents, local legends, and the unique Creole architecture that defines America's most European city. You'll clip-clop past wrought iron balconies, colourful facades, and historic squares while learning what makes the Big Easy so distinctive.

Morning and early afternoon tours (10:00, 12:00, and 14:00) include complimentary entry to St Louis No. 1 Cemetery with a 20-minute walking tour among the above-ground tombs, including the legendary resting place of the 'Voodoo Queen'. Evening tours (17:00 and 18:00) venture into Faubourg Marigny and down Frenchmen Street, where you'll experience the neighbourhood's Creole mansions and hear the live jazz spilling from intimate clubs.
