New Orleans Port Transfers

This tour is amazing. I learned more about New Orleans on this tour than I have ever learned in previous trips to New Orleans. I highly recommend this tour!

Great experience! Very knowledgeable and informative. It was a great introduction to New Orleans!

I’ve lived in New Orleans and have returned regularly with my family for over 50 years. We thought it might be fun to arrange for a tour to introduce the city to a friend who has never visited there before. We were wonderfully surprised at the neighborhoods, cemeteries and special place to eat that Glen introduced all of us to on his fact filled and engaging tour. Glen’s personality and knowledge of New Orleans history are delightful. And his support for a wheelchair dependent traveler only added to the value we received. You will be greeted by an exceptional person. And you will be dropped off after your tour by a friend.

This was a very enlightening and entertaining tour. I learned a lot about New Orleans and its history. They spoke of the cultural changes over the years and the influences that shaped New Orleans today. I heartily recommend visitors to the area take this tour.

My husband and I were looking for a private tour, as due to my mobility issues I am not able to keep up with group tours, so this was ideal for us. Before arriving in New Orleans, Glen and I exchanged emails to ensure that we would see as much as we could on our first visit to New Orleans. We opted for an extended tour as there was a lot to cover. Glen picked us up from our hotel in a very comfortable car which enabled us to experience it all at our own pace and he even provided a walker for me to use. We started with a stop at a viewpoint overlooking the Mississippi River so that Glen could give us an interesting background and history of NOLA with photos and maps. We then drove all over the city which his tour itinerary covered which included the French Quarter, Garden District, Cemetery No.3, City Park, Lake Pontehartrain, pumping stations and many more. Glen explained about Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath. We stopped for a quick lunch at a deli and were able to chat with Glen and learn more about New Orleans. We continued our tour with Glen telling us about the history, culture, and beautiful architecture as we passed by. I had previously asked Glen to take us to the Matairie Cemetery, famous for its stunning, ornate tombs. considered one of the most beautiful in the country. Glen kindly drove us around it, stopping for us to take photographs. By the end of the tour we had covered everything on my list and more! We had a great time and leanred so much. We can highly recommend Glen and this tour to those seeking an in depth and personal city tour with a terrific guide. Thank you, Glen, for sharing your knowledge and love of New Orleans.

Carl did an amazing job! We love how he started at city park and we were able to get beignet's there. He did a great job, explaining the history of new orleans, the difference of uptown and downtown, the difference of the different cultures and so much more. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent, very professional and listened to what we wanted to see and do. Great price. Would definitely recommend.

We did three tours with Benjamin and I could not recommend him enough!!! He was so extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We did the driving tour with our 4 kids and even our teenaged boys thought it was very interesting, which is quite an accomplishment. He was also a pleasure to spend time with and was also very thoughtful and accomodating to our needs for gluten free food.

We had a fantastic tour and we saw a lot of different alligators on our private swamp tour. Benjamin was so friendly and answered every single question we had. He gave us many information - not only about this tour - also about history and life in New Orleans. To book LA VIE NOLA was really the best decision!

What an incredible day. Wonderful communication in advance of booking, Benjamin was beyond knowledgeable about New Orleans and its history. We had a wonderful time learning, dining and enjoying the history NOLA holds. Highly recommend any tours with this company, he is an absolute historian with a pleasant voice, demeanor and luxurious SUV.

I really applaud Ben, because of his passion to make everyone's trip the best possible. He introduced us to Rodney who showed us so many tricks that he does with the alligators, like calling them with their name and making his special sound.Ben then took for lunch at the Oak Alley plantation and for a tour of the Laura Plantation, which was truly memorable. All in all a fantastic experience and all credit goes to Ben for planning it superbly.

They took the worry out of transportation. They were early the shuttle was clean and the service was great. Definitely recommend Cool Broadway to take the worry out of travel!

This tour led by Cassandra Snyder was superlative in every way. We were lucky enough to have her for our guide on the initial tour that Atlas Obscura ran in New Orleans. The four days with Cassandra were spent seeing sights throughout the city, spending time with artists, visiting cultural venues and eating some of NOLA’s special foods. She has a impressive depth of knowledge about all things NOLA and her enthusiasm and love for this remarkable city is to be commended very highly. She knows many local artists and musicians and participates in events like Mardi Gras parades. A tour with her is a must when you visit The Crescent City!

Anyone coming to New Orleans for the first time should book this sightseeing tour. We were picked up from the hotel and the entire schedule was adapted to our wishes. It was very interesting and informative. Thank you very much for a lovely tour!

Touring New Orleans with its complicated history and endless points of interest is WAY better with someone like Benjamin Burden in the front seat. We did his 3-hour private tour as the first event of our week, and were extremely happy with the enrichment he gave us -- history, first-hand knowledge, pleasant conversation, personal insights to his life in this city, not to mention a big comfortable SUV, excellent driving and safety and a stop at an (air conditioned) branch of Cafe du Monde in an uncrowded park setting. Although we already had tickets for a future walking tour of St. Louis Cemetery #1 on another day (side note: it was hot then and the walkways badly paved) it was a real bonus that he drove us through the somewhat-distant Metairie Cemetery which has plenty of illustrious guests and impressive tombs, and no crowds.

We had a great time touring New Orleans with Glen. He is very knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot about the history of the area and saw an incredible amount of sites in our 5 hour tour. It was money well spent.
