Do y'all offer Champaign and wine dinners with ride

Tonia Hall | Sep 24, 2018

No and I would never use them. I paid 3 weeks in advance and the day of the ride, they never showed.

Will you pick up from a hotel and deliver somewhere along your route?

TM Slay | Sep 24, 2018
Robin Coffey | Sep 24, 2019

The info shown here is not really accurate. You can meet at Jackson Square and pick your own carriage, driver and mule. The cost is either $100 for a half hour narrated tour (up to 4 people) or a group carriage ($20 each once the carriage fills (6-8 passengers for the 1/2 hr. An hour tour is $200 for private or $40 each. Pickups at hotels or drop offs are Extra! Reservations are Not required and are extra. There are 4 companies during the day and 3 companies in the evenings (after 4) Unless you are holding a Baby everyone pays the same. A 2 yr old is Not a Baby. Lots of great drivers out there and is a Great thing to do! Don't get fooled with gift certificates, read the fine print! Enjoy!!

How well do they take care of their mules and horses? Do they work them 12 hours a day every day? When do they get to be let out to rest?

Karen Bobbett | Sep 9, 2022
Royal Carriages | Sep 9, 2022

Please be assured that our mules are well cared for and very well loved. Their health and well-being are our HIGHEST priority. From June 1 through mid-September our day shift works from 9am to 2:30pm, and our night shift works from 6pm to 11:30pm, thus ensuring the mules work less than 6 hours and not during the hottest part of the day. Our hour-long tours are scheduled for every 90 minutes, ensuring the mules get a 30 minute break between each tour. It is important to note that different mules are used for each shift. Each mule works no more than 5 days a week (some work fewer) and after 6-9 months in the city, each mule gets a 3 month vacation at our farm in Poplarville, MS All this we do as part of our normal care, but to be sure other operators follow suit, city regulations prohibit the operation of carriage tours when the temperature exceeds 95F, or the heat index exceeds 105F. Significant fines are applied to any driver who violates this law. Best Regards, Royal Carriages

We have 11 ladies on a trip together. Is there anyway we could squeeze 11 on one carriage? We can put the smaller ladies together?

Carolyn Brunkenhoefer | Sep 23, 2020
Rebekah Chatellier | Sep 23, 2020

Sorry. The legal limit is 8 passangers per carriage (no matter size of people or carriage). You may, however, take two carriages and have them stay together.

How much is a ride

dereri parker | Sep 24, 2019
Lucy Wagendorf | Sep 24, 2019

Malibu Welch is right, $20 each. I and family went in the afternoon. They did have different prices. Well worth it. Would do it again. If you Google it before you go, sometimes there are offers with discounts.

So I have a wife and three kids. We would all love to do the ride. Only question is do we need to book for our three month old son? No info for such things on website

Richard Stockton jr | Sep 24, 2019
Rebekah Chatellier | Sep 24, 2019

The baby (3 month old) you will not have to pay for. However, you will have to pay for your other children. There are a limited number of people allowed per carriage, so (just like the airlines) the company must charge per person/seat.

I have called to find out about the gift card refund, but no answer and the message is full. Would really like to find something out.

Kathy Conklin | Sep 24, 2019
Lisa Washington | Sep 24, 2019

Try to send them a FB message

For the private 4-person-max carriage rides, is the pickup/dropoff location 700 Decatur or 700 St. Louis? When I look at booking it, it tells me both locations in separate places on the website.

Tod Armstrong | Sep 24, 2019
Jonathan Hinnen | Sep 24, 2019

That's a little hiccup that we're dealing with. Private, 4-person carriages do their pickups at 700 Decatur, at Jackson Square.

How far in advance should I purchase tickets?

Julie Willey | Sep 24, 2018
Steve McCullough | Sep 24, 2018

Same day shouldn't be a problem. We went right on
