We had an unbelievable experience with Glen as our guide. He showcased an impressive wealth of knowledge, not only about the well-known landmarks but also about some hidden gems that aren't even on the map. Glen's insights and enthusiasm truly brought the journey to life, making it both engaging and unforgettable. If you're looking for a guide who goes above and beyond, Glen is the one. A top-notch experience that I would recommend to anyone!

Outstanding
Glen let us know that he would not be able to tour with us but assured that John would be able to just as good a job. As Mardi Gras all around the French Quarter, we were happy to see all of New Orleans, its surrounding neighborhoods, plantations and more! He was an encyclopedia of New Orleans history and folklore and any and every question we asked, was answered in depth. We stopped at a local cemetery which to our surprise was really quite interesting. He molded the tour to accommodate anything that we wanted to see given the road closures due to parades. His car was immaculate and he cautiously drove. The only caveat was the price. It’s costly! Entree fees to any special activity or exhibit are NOT included. That aside, it was an outstanding way to see the other side of the Mardi Gras capital!

Best private tour in New Orleans!
Tripadvisor review: Henley's Private Tours - They Say "Best New Orleans Private Tour"
We just took a tour with Glen yesterday and let me tell you, it was a highly enjoyable and educational experience. There were 5 of us including two kids and all of us were highly entertained during the tour. Glen was prompt in picking us up in his amazingly comfy van at our hotel and we got an incredible overview of this beautiful city. He is so knowledgeable about the history, culture, food, and people and he delivers that information in a way that is easy to understand and fascinating to learn about! Glenn is a true storyteller! My two kids (7 and 10) were captivated and even appreciated all the new “dad jokes” they learned from him throughout the day! :-)
We visited such a wide variety of locations, all with amazing views and might I add Glen is excellent at taking pictures of your family for you!
I truly felt by the end of our tour we got a real taste of New Orleans! I highly recommend Glenn’s tour. It’s personal, fun, and tailored to the needs and people of your group. He is a wonderful tour guide (and person) and you can really see his love and pride for his city and state shine through!
Thanks again Glenn, we had a fantastic time! :-)

Perfect Tour!
This private tour was perfect for our group. We appreciated Glen’s well thought out itinerary and knowledge of New Orleans. This was a perfect way to see so much of New Orleans in just a few hours. The van was clean and comfortable and Glen even had a small stool to assist older tour guests out. Glen was communicative in advance of the tour and punctual, assuring a smooth start to the day. We highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour!!
Great tour!! 6 of us traveling together had an amazing tour! Glen was knowledgeable and gave us a top notch tour of his city in New Orleans. History comes alive and the overview of the city was perfect! Recommend doing this early in your stay - he also had great recommendations for other activities. Lunch on the lake was excellent and he showed us SO much more than the French Quarter! Transportation was very comfortable! Highly recommended! Thanks Glen!

5-Stars!
Glen gave the 4 of us a private tour of New Orleans. The full size van was spacious and immaculate. We visited many historical home and celebrity homes as well as each distinctive district. Glen had a great story for each area. He knew every historical detail. We even got to see the lake. Glen explained in the Katrina disaster and steps taken to prevent another. I have been to NO 2x before, this time I learned much more that both prior trips!

Awesome Experience, Highly Recommended!!!
Our family of 6 had an awesome time with Mr. Glenn from Henley's tours. From the booking to his follow up thanks after the tour was completed, he was so gracious, professional, pleasant and easy to work with. The vehicle eas clean and comfortable. His tour was a spectacular overview of the entire city of NOLA. He gave an interesting background and history lesson that made the past come alive and he showed us neat things all over the city. We literally saw it all in 5 hours...from the WWII Museum (including background on how NOLA became the host of such a prominent museum), Garden District, Mansions, Port, Central Business District, French Quarter, Universities, City Park, Lake Pontchartrain, inside a beautiful cemetery, pumping stations and explanations about Hurricane Katrina and aftermath, the marina. Carrollton, to a delicious lunch spot and bringing bread for us to feed the birds in City Park and more. Everything was top notch. He gave interesting and easy to understand talks about Cajuns and Creoles and local culture. We spent a full week enjoying all that New Orleans and the surrounding area has to offer and our entire family including our children ages 11 to 20, said our tour with Mr. Glenn was a top favorite. We tried carriage tours, steamboat tours, swamp boat tours, Gondola rides and segway tours and this private tour was the best, hands down. Glen interacts well with the entire family, has fun stories, thinks of unique ways to bring history to life and is such a pleasant and wonderful human being, he is truly a delight to be around. We highly recommend this tour, for all that you get, it's a bargain and I know you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic!!!
It was perfect from beginning to end. Glen met us at our hotel on time. His knowledge of New Orleans and the surrounding area was very impressive to say the least. His lunch location was a neat local deli which tourists would not know to visit. The food was great and being able to chat with Glen was a great way to learn even more about New Orleans. I highly recommend Henley’s Private Tours. Superb service and great communication. Glen will customize your tour based on your interests. He was able to accommodate people in our group with mobility issues by storing our walker and providing a step stool for ease of getting in and out of his van. A top notch way to tour New Orleans. Thank you Glen for a memorable visit to New Orleans.

We absolutely loved this tour! Glen was incredibly friendly and helpful and went out of his way to show us what we were interested in around the city.
Glen's knowledge of New Orleans was excellent and we learned so much from him; Our stop for lunch was lovely too. Thank you again for a great time and for all the 'Dad' jokes. We loved it.
