Private New Orleans City Tour with Local Expert Guide

New Orleans private tour for 4

Mark was an excellent guide. Took us through all of the areas of New Orleans that we wouldn’t have even know to ask about. We learned a lot and had fun. Only con was the size of the vehicle. We had a party of 4 adults and one person had to sit up front and another had to take the hump in the back. It was actually fine, but if the vehicle were more comfortable it would have been perfect. Still, we all would highly recommend the tour.

A Great Experience in New Orleans

My mom bought this experience for me as a surprise. I have always wanted to fly a plane. This was beyond our expectations. My flight instructor Jacob is very knowledgeable and passionate about flying. He was a lot of fun and made sure we had a great experience. The young lady at the front was super sweet and made the check in process quick and easy. We would definitely do this again. Thank you Jacob!!!

Always an interesting place.

It is fun to look at the crypts and see how old everything is. My ancestors are buried there and I visit everything I am in NOLA.

Henley’s Private Tours – “Educational-Comfortable-Entertaining”

Lsides, Jun 2026

Glen Henley’s private tour is a must-do if you want to see and understand 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.

Paul is Great!

Paul was wonderful tour guide! We were able to book a private tour which was great for my child that is autistic. We really enjoyed the personal nature of Paul's presentation and how he was able to accommodate our wishes when we wanted to stop and take pictures. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and even gave us tips on other places to visit. The price was reasonable and we enjoyed the friendliness and pleasant atmosphere Paul created on the tour.

A wonderful experience with Glen Henley's Private Tours

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. Carolyn and Malcolm Rockell from the U.K
