New Orleans Carriage Tours With Hotel Pickup

When you're back at your hotel after a day of fishing, mountain biking or hiking, you may prefer to take it easy. A carriage tour around New Orleans, and especially one that will pick you up at your hotel, may be the way to go. Most carriage tours use mules, rather than horses, to pull buggies. Mules are the result of breeding horses with donkeys; this mix provides for better heat tolerance. Several different companies offer carriage or buggy tours and most will pick you up at your hotel, just be certain to request it when you make the reservation.
