Mule Carriage French Quarter Tour | Royal Carriages in New Orleans, Louisiana
Royal Carriages of New Orleans is the oldest commercial carriage operator in the United States. The Lauga Family began providing horse-drawn carriage tours of the French Quarter in 1941. 75 years later, the Lauga Family is still providing visitors with the most authentic way to discover New Orleans via mule-drawn carriage.
James Hayes moved to New Orleans from Boston in the 1980s. He purchased a antique shotgun home just a few blocks away from the mule stable in the Faubourg Marigny. James has been working as a licensed carriage driver and tour guide for many years. Together, he and Pearl spend each evening teaching tourists the importance of the history, culture, and architecture of New Orleans.
Pearl is a young Percheron draft mule. At Royal Carriages, our mules work no more than 7 hours a day, no more than 5 days per week. It's also important to note that each mule works in the city for approximately 9 months, receiving a 3-6 month vacation each year.
New Orleans is one of the few cities that uses mules instead of horses to pull carriages. A mule is a cross between a horse and a donkey, and is considered a hybrid animal that is not capable of reproducing. Mules are considered ideal working partners due to their strength and intelligence. Being half desert animal (donkey), mules are better suited to work in sub-tropical climates like New Orleans compared to horses.

narrated horse drawn carriage tour of French Quarter in New Orleans
This captures a good part of our horse drawn carriage ride through the French Quarter in New Orleans on Sunday, May 20, 2019. This was actually a really interesting ride and I now wish I had filmed more of it. I highly recommend such a carriage ride. It was way better than I initially thought it would be.

A Ride On The Memphis Riverfront Loop Trolley
The MATA Trolley is a heritage streetcar system operating in Memphis in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It has operated since April 29, 1993.
As of 2008, the system consists of three lines: the Main Street Trolley, the Madison Avenue Loop and the Riverfront Loop. These lines are operated by the Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA), and were put into operation over fifty years after Memphis' original streetcar network was dismantled in the 1940s. The trolleys used are almost all rehabilitated, vintage streetcars. The original three cars in operation on opening day were all formerly used in Porto, Portugal, and are Car 187, circa 1927; Car 194, circa 1935; and Car 204, circa 1940. These cars are each 30 feet 6 inches (9.3 m) long, 7 feet 10 inches (2.39 m) wide and weigh 25,820 pounds (11.71 t) without passengers. The cars were restored by Kerns-Wilcheck Associates of Memphis. Three additional ex-Porto cars (156, 164 and 180) joined them within weeks, and the fleet had six cars (all ex-Porto single-truckers) by May 1993.
Between the mid-1990s and 2003, the Gomaco Trolley Company supplied an additional ten cars: nine reconditioned Melbourne, Australia type W2 cars and one single-truck car (No. 1979) that was built new by Gomaco in 1993, originally as a demonstrator. There is also car 1794, which was originally an open-sided car from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but was heavily rebuilt and enclosed before entering service in Memphis. The most recent addition, in early 2004, is a replica Birney Safety Car, manufactured by Gomaco, the same cars used on the TECO Line Streetcar System in Tampa, Florida.
The fleet and overhead wires were converted from trolley pole to pantograph current collection in early 2003, during a three-month suspension of service which started on January 5, 2003. Source: Wikipedia.
