Overview

Passionate! - Knowledgeable! - Entertaining.! These are some of the comments used to describe our all-inclusive 4 or 5 or 7 hour tour of the city of New Orleans and/or Plantations. I'm Glen Henley the owner operator or "Henley's Privarte Tours". I started as a tour guide in 2012 and created this private tour in 2016. My goal was to build the best private tour in the New Orleans area. I treat everyone as my guest. Over the years I've accumulated hundreds of 5-star reviews online. We'll talk about first explorers, our history (past &present), and see the Mississippi river, cemeteries, architecture, the wetlands, flood control, slavery at plantations vs in the colony, the neighborhoods, and get some great food. Also hear about the nationalities, the diversity, the Creoles & Cajuns, Mardis Gras, the catholic church influence and more.

(1-3 is 4 hours, 4-6 is 5 hours. Also offer a combo tour with city and Plantation tours. "

We guarantee you will laugh and learn!"
