Do not mistake the ":others" for this great experience. Miss Carla has been doing this for 20 years and knows her stuff. She is a "townie" and a lot of fun. Her jeep is white and she picks up at the lighthouse parking lot

We did this tour with our 10 & 12 yr old sons. Miss Carla picked us up at the Beau Rivage on her way to the lighthouse & dropped us off after. She has great stories & is very fun & entertaining! The stories of Katrina's impact were unbelievable and my sons learned a lot. There really isn't a ton... More

My 2 sisters and myself planned a trip to Biloxi for a sisters reunion, not knowing we wouldn't want to leave! The people were so friendly where ever we went. I had requested on line the Biloxi Visitors Tour Guide and read in it about the "Shrimp Train". We are so happy we went on it. Learned our way around... More

What a beautiful city and no better way to see it and get to know it than by taking a tour on the Biloxi Tour Train with Miss Carla! She is a wealth of information but best of all she loves this city and this city loves her! She brought me to tears with her heartfelt stories of Hurricane Katrina,... More

Ms. Carla is fantastic; I have been coming to Biloxi for a long time but never took a tour. I didn’t know that there was a downtown in Biloxi until I took the tour. I am so glad my girlfriend spotted her tram in front of the visitor center while we were walking on the beach. She gave us a... More

What a wonderful, personable lady Carla is. The love of Biloxi shows in her tour. I would recommend the tour train to anyone visiting Biloxi. It's a lot of history wrapped up in a 90 minute ride.

Ms. Carla is a daughter and granddaughter of Biloxi. She has resided on the coast through good times and bad. If you wish to learn about the city and your time is limited, then Biloxi Tour Train is your answer. She weaves a story & history into each visual attraction. You can board near the Visitor Center and Lighthouse. While... More

Ms Carla gave us a heartfelt tour telling of the devastation that Katrina left behind. We had not known the the terrible loss this city had suffered if we had not taken this tour.

Because Carla the tour guide of the original Biloxi Train tour was so good and so sincere my husband and I returned the next year and again this year to volunteer on the Gulf Coast for Habitat for Humanity. Carla not only told us the history of the city both past and present but she told us about the people... More

This was a tour of the real Biloxi, hosted by a guide very in touch with the city and it's people. Very informative. One of the best things we did in Biloxi!
