Welcome to
Henley's Private Tours

“Experience New Orleans Beyond the Ordinary.”

Hey y'all, I'm Glen Henley, the owner and operator of Henley's Private Tours. With deep roots in the area, I can bring this unique city to life with the facts and the  many stories about our history here from 1682 to 2025.

 

I've been a tour guide since 2012 and started this private tour business in 2016. You will experience this extraordinary city through the eyes of a local and enjoy a tour that goes beyond the typical tourist path. 

 

This family friendly tour for seniors and youth, is an all-inclusive private city tour of the New Orleans area. We'll not only delve into the history, but you'll also learn the importance of the Mississippi River, the wetlands, the influence of catholic church, slavery here vs the plantations, the effect of free people of color, the diversity, the architecture, the live Oak trees and and many other local truths that make this city remarkable and beautiful.  We also include up to 5 stops, with a stop for some great Louisiana cuisine. 

One more thing that is unique to Henley's Private tours,

You do not pay anything until after the tour. (No deposit, nothing)

So, you can book with confidence and

“Experience New Orleans Beyond the Ordinary.”.
