New Orleans Cruise Port Day Tours
Make the most of your stop in New Orleans with a private tour designed for cruise passengers. Whether you’re looking for New Orleans cruise port day tours, planning a New Orleans shore excursion, or searching for things to do in New Orleans before or after a cruise, we’ll create a custom experience that fits your schedule and your interests.
Designed for Cruise Schedules
Your time in New Orleans is precious, and we plan every detail so you can make the most of it without worrying about logistics. We can meet you right at the cruise terminal or at a nearby location that’s convenient for you, making your private New Orleans shore excursion as seamless as possible. From there, your itinerary is built around your ship’s arrival and departure times, whether you have just a few hours or most of the day to explore.
We keep the pace comfortable while still covering the sights you most want to see. If your ship arrives early, we can begin right away; if it departs later in the evening, we can add extra stops to make the most of your visit. Most importantly, you’ll have a return-on-time guarantee so you can relax and enjoy your New Orleans cruise port day tour knowing you’ll be back at the port well before boarding.

Why Choose a Private Tour
When your time in New Orleans is limited to the hours your ship is in port, every minute counts. A private tour means you skip the crowded buses and fixed schedules of large group shore excursions. Instead, you travel in comfort with just your group, moving at your own pace and focusing on what matters most to you.
With Glen as your guide, you get more than transportation between stops. You’ll hear engaging stories about the city’s history, culture, and landmarks, and have the flexibility to linger in a neighborhood, stop for photos, or grab a beignet without feeling rushed. Your itinerary is designed around your ship’s schedule, so you can explore with confidence knowing you’ll be back at the port on time.
Whether you want to see New Orleans’ famous highlights, dive into local food and music, or explore beyond the city, a private tour gives you the personal attention, comfort, and peace of mind you need to make the most of your cruise port day.
