By Angela Ash

While the beguiling city of New Orleans offers inquisitive travelers a myriad of tours to choose from during their visit, there can truly be no better way to see the Crescent City then from the back of a carriage. Royal Carriages has been in business since 1914, and this family-run tour company continues to welcome New Orleans' guests in style.

Boasting expert guides and well-cared for mules serve as good-will ambassadors, taking guests throughout the French Quarter and beyond, with a host of special tour options available. Whether you'd like a group tour that incorporates the best of New Orleans at a lower price or a private tour that can be personally arranged to suit your needs, you've never seen a city like this before!

Royal Carriages offers an early-morning tour that lasts 30 minutes and traverses across the entire French Quarter. This tour is wonderful, as that it can provide helpful tourist information that will definitely come in handy throughout your visit.

The Dixie Bohemia Tour is an hour-long adventure that takes guests throughout the neighborhoods of the French Quarter with its vibrant Creole abodes and the Faubourg Marigny with its great mansions on Esplanade.

As night draws near, the History and Haunts tour sets out, mixing, as the name implies, fact-filled tales of New Orleans' intriguing past with chilling tales of the paranormal. This tour lasts for at least an hour, journeying throughout the French Quarter and the Faubourg Marigny.

When you are in a city as unique and endearing as New Orleans, no simple tour will do. See the sights in style aboard a comfortable carriage, and see why New Orleans remains one of the top tourist destinations in the country.
