New Orleans news from Royal Carriages Tours

Royal Carriages featured on The Travel Channel's Trip Testers

Posted by on February 03, 2017

In their new show, travel writers Jason Kessler and Jeff Miller determine if activities at the world's most popular vacation destinations live up to the hype. These seasoned travel writers explored with French Quarter on an authentic mule-drawn carriage with Charlotte Jones and Mrs. Parker. Both Jason and Jeff were an absolute pleasure to tour around and we look forward to seeing their mule-drawn adventure. 

What's the absolute funniest part of filming with Jason and Jeff? 

Probably the fact that they didn't know that Charlotte Jones was our newest carriage driver! She was super nervous but she took the challenge like any pro-guide would. We love Charlotte's humor and passion for New Orleans, it's buildings, musicians, and accepting culture. Outside of driving mule-drawn carriages, she can be found working with local non-profits, listening to live jazz, and hanging out with her two dogs named Laverne and Shirley. 


Those two guys are the hosts of the TV show. They told Charlotte to just act natural! Ha! Great job, y'all!! We're looking forward to seeing the final results. #mulesofinstagram #mules #likealocal #beatouristnola #carriagetour #carriageride #jacksonsquare #travelchannel #travel #explore by @neworleanscarriages

My husband and I took a 1/2 hour tour of the French Quarter during the day with Jonathan and his mule Queenie - Jonathan was very knowledgeable and funny and Queenie did an excellent job of navigating the narrow streets of the French Quarter. We did a group tour with 2 other couples who we did not know, but that made it even more interesting and fun. It was great to learn a little more about the interesting history and architecture of New Orleans and a fun way to see more of the city than we could have seen on foot. We booked our tour through Royal Carriages sales manager, Kimmie, who could not have been nicer or more kind and accommodating! Thank you all so much for a great experience! New Orleans, in general, is a really fun town with super friendly people who just want to make sure you have a good time! We'll be back!
