Took the longer 1 hour carriage ride/tour and it was worth it, because got to see Marigny area. Our tour guide Marty was knowledable and was able to point out hidden details. Marty also talked about how they took good care of the mules. The mule goes at a slow relaxing pace, so can take in all the sites and snap pics. The carriage had a cover and good thing, because a small rain shower dropped on us, but we stayed dry. Truly a great ride!

We rode with Blaze and Matt (I am so sorry if this name isn’t right but he has a lovely red beard.) The tour was so enjoyable. Our guide was excellent and kept us entertained the entire ride with his extensive knowledge of the areas we rode through. We took our kids (12, 10 and 7) and all enjoyed it as well, never once heard an “I’m bored” which is a huge win when you book anything remotely educational. 😆 Worth the money and would do again just for the ride through the city. Thank you!
