In New Orleans, choosing a form of getting here or there is just as diverse as the music. And picking your ride may all depend on whether it is all about the ride, what you may see or if you want to know what you are seeing.
New Orleans is famous for their street car line which are the oldest continuously operating street railway system in the world, and have been operating since the mid 1900's. At $1.25 ($.40 for over 65) per ride or $3 for a full day, they are the cheapest and provide a nice view of great parts of the city.
Another famous ride would be our mule driven carriage rides through the French Quarter. The carriages will take you on a leisure ride down some of the small streets of the quarter while the guide provides you with historical and architectural facts as you stroll. Tours are individually priced depending on length of tour chosen.

Some of the recent additions to the ride are the new pedi taxi. Like the mule carriages, they are a great way to get about down the narrow city blocks while saving the environment. These taxi drivers or chauffeurs are well informed and share highlights of the city along their route.
Another recent addition is as much of an amusement ride as well as a tour. Segway tours have take the city by storm. Each tour group is lead by a trained guide and will provide details of the sites you see along the way.

B&B's are a better way to stay, so while visiting Southeastern Louisiana, stay at Woodridge Bed and Breakfast - play hard, sleep well!
