Henley's Private Tours
in New Orleans
I'm Glen Henley, the owner/operator of Henley's Private Tours, and I will be your personal tour guide during this experience. I am excited to get to share my love for New Orleans with you. I'm a local with deep roots in Louisiana, and I've been a licensed tour guide since 2012. I started my own private tour company in 2016.
Some of the details
We will uncover the rich history that defines this unique city's cultures, from the early explorers and the Mississippi River, to the many unique neighborhoods like the French Quarter, Tremé, and the Garden District. Every area is filled with fascinating stories. Experience the soul of Louisiana through its delicious cuisine, the lively music, and the diversity of our people. You'll also gain insights into events that shaped our city, such as the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War here, and the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
We'll also have a few laughs along the way. Thank you! Glen A. Henley

The Plantation Tours
We Can also venture beyond the city and into the history pf the plantation era here in Louisiana. The plantations are significant for their historical, architectural, and cultural importance. Many of these estates were established during the antebellum period before the Civil War and are located primarily along the Mississippi River in Louisiana along the river road. They showcase a variety of architectural styles, including Creole, Greek Revival, and Italianate designs, often surrounded by lush gardens and centuries-old live oak trees.
During this drive out to the plantations you will learn about and see our wetlands and hear many of the topics that make Louisiana so unique.
We will also cross the Mississippi river on our route to see one of the greatest rivers in the world. Learn how this river has affected our lives then and still does today.
