Our driver Jonathan was communicated very well with us all. He took time to get to know his passengers and demonstrated that throughout the ride. Magnolia was great too. We saw various areas and Jonathon made sure we all could hear him We enjoyed the tour Thank you

We learned so much about the French Quarter or the City of New Orleans and discovered a number of places we’ll explore more fully on our next trip. The guide was great and the carriage ride was cool.

New Orleans is a blast. The food and music and nightlife are world class. The only complaint I have is that there are many areas that don't seem quite safe late at night. We stayed in the FQ for the majority of our stay. There was a substantial and appreciated police presence. Sad that it is required but C'est la vie. Be aware, be safe, stay in the tourist districts. Take the ferry across the river. $2.00. Get a beer, cruise back. Cheap fun.

The tour was great! Shannon and Josie make a great team. Shannon was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of historical facts about the city that he obviously loves! He answered questionable comments and queries by some of the tourists professionally and with a little wry humor. Overall, an enjoyable hour tour that covered a lot of area we would not have seen on our own. Thanks, Shannon!

Short 1-hour tour packed with a lot of information from Jonathan. Learned things about the French Quarters and New Orleans not spoken about on the Hop On bus. Not as cheap as the city bus, but nice and worth the price. Kate, the mule, is beautiful and strong to pull the 9 passengers on the buggy. Go Kate!!

Our guide was full of local stories and history as we rode along behind Praline the mule. He had a wonderful sense of humor. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion.
