Carriage Rides-New Orleans
I thought my girls might enjoy a carriage ride through the French Quarter. Does anyone know the approximate cost for the carriage? Also, where do we find them and do I need a reservation for the ride? Thanks!

I just returned from a trip to NOLA the first week of June. If you go in a group carriage it is $12 per person. If you hire a private carriage it is $60 per person. The typical group carriage holds 5-7 people and the private carriages hold 1-4 people.

I'm not a big fan, primarily because I feel for the horses...yeah, I know "what a wuss"...and since I split my time between NOLA and Baton Rouge, I didn't think I'd do such a 'touristy thing' in one of my hometowns. Anyway, I was with a group of 10 or so last month in the Quarter and since everyone wanted to go for a ride, I joined. It was enjoyable, the driver was informative and we even stopped at Brad and Angelina's home on Governor Nichols...kinda cool, actually. My first and last time. Price is a little negotiable and you get a better per person deal with a group. By the way, the guided walking ghost tours always seemed kinda cool in the Quarter. I've seen them most every evening when I would walk from where I lived in the Quarter to dinner.
