Henley's Private Tours
New Orleans

🌟 1. It’s a completely private tour unlike other group tours, this is just for your group.

      No strangers, and no fixed script.

• You can choose what you want to see (history, neighborhoods, stops, plantations, etc.)

• The guide, (usually Glen), adjusts the pace, stops, and topics to your interests

• It’s especially useful if you have limited time or specific must-sees

👉 Many reviewers highlight that the itinerary is tailored even for mobility needs or personal preferences

🧠 2. The guide (Glen Henley) is the main selling point

      This is a guide-driven experience, not just a route.

• Described as extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and personable

• Blends history, storytelling, humor, and local insights

• Can answer detailed questions instead of sticking to a script

👉 Guests consistently say he “brings the city to life” and goes beyond surface-level info

🚐 3. Comfortable, stress-free experience

      Instead of walking long distances or hopping on/off buses:

• You ride in a clean, air-conditioned private vehicle

• Hotel pickup/drop-off is included

• Great for hot weather, families, or older travelers

👉 Reviewers often mention how much they appreciated the comfort—especially in New Orleans heat

🗺️ 4. You see more than just the French Quarter

      Most tours stay in tourist-heavy areas—but this one goes broader:

• Neighborhoods like French Quarter, Tremé, Garden District, Lake Pontchartrain.

• Hidden spots and local food stops (Off the beaten path)

• Deeper context on events like Hurricane Katrina and local culture

👉 It’s often described as a detailed full-city overview, not just highlights

🤝 5. Personal touches you don’t get on big tours

This is where it really stands out:

• Flexible scheduling and communication before your trip

• Accommodations for mobility (even providing equipment if needed)

• Local recommendations for the rest of your stay

👉 Guests frequently mention how the service is thoughtful and attentive

💵 6. “Pay after the tour” policy

A rare feature:

• You don’t pay upfront

• You only pay after you’ve experienced it

👉 This reflects confidence in the service and reduces risk for you

​

⚠️ To keep it real the downside is:

• It’s more expensive than other tours, such as bus tours.

• Entrance fees (like plantations) may not be included.

👉 Some reviewers note the price—but still say it’s worth it for the experience.
