The New Orleans tour was absolutely fantastic! The guide, Harris, and driver, Judah, were phenomenal and very knowledgeable of New Orleans history and culture. We felt honored to have them as our guides to experience this great city. My family cannot stop talking about it! You MUST take this tour. Hopefully, you will have the honor of getting Harris and Judah as your historical guides!

Wonderful tour!
Cassandra took us into all the areas of the city, mostly driving (our choice) but we did our share of walking in the French Quarter and at the Cemetery. Cassandra had so much knowledge, provided visuals to help us understand the history, answered all our questions, provided suggestions for restaurants and other sites near our hotel, and all in all made our first trip to New Orleans perfect.

New Orleans 3 hour tour was amazing with Tyra
Tyra was absolutely fantastic! Our tour with her was Saturday July 11, 2026 at 10am. She has an amazing personality, truly loves people, and made our tour so enjoyable. Her knowledge of New Orleans, the places we visited, and the streets we traveled was incredible. We learned so much about the city’s history and culture. She also recommended wonderful restaurants and great places to shop, and we followed her suggestions the very next day—they were all excellent! Tyra made our experience unforgettable, and we highly recommend taking a tour with her. Thank you, Tyra, for such a fun and informative experience!

Henley’s Private Tours – “Educational-Comfortable-Entertaining”

Glen Henley’s private tour is a must-do if you want to see and understand New Orleans.
I’ve lived in New Orleans and have returned regularly with my family for over 50 years. We thought it might be fun to arrange for a tour to introduce the city to a friend who has never visited there before. We were wonderfully surprised at the neighborhoods, cemeteries and special place to eat that Glen introduced all of us to on his fact filled and engaging tour. Glen’s personality and knowledge of New Orleans history are delightful. And his support for a wheelchair dependent traveler only added to the value we received. You will be greeted by an exceptional person. And you will be dropped off after your tour by a friend.

A wonderful experience with Glen Henley's Private Tours
My husband and I were looking for a private tour, as due to my mobility issues I am not able to keep up with group tours, so this was ideal for us. Before arriving in New Orleans, Glen and I exchanged emails to ensure that we would see as much as we could on our first visit to New Orleans. We opted for an extended tour as there was a lot to cover. Glen picked us up from our hotel in a very comfortable car which enabled us to experience it all at our own pace and he even provided a walker for me to use. We started with a stop at a viewpoint overlooking the Mississippi River so that Glen could give us an interesting background and history of NOLA with photos and maps. We then drove all over the city which his tour itinerary covered which included the French Quarter, Garden District, Cemetery No.3, City Park, Lake Pontehartrain, pumping stations and many more. Glen explained about Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath. We stopped for a quick lunch at a deli and were able to chat with Glen and learn more about New Orleans. We continued our tour with Glen telling us about the history, culture, and beautiful architecture as we passed by. I had previously asked Glen to take us to the Matairie Cemetery, famous for its stunning, ornate tombs. considered one of the most beautiful in the country. Glen kindly drove us around it, stopping for us to take photographs. By the end of the tour we had covered everything on my list and more! We had a great time and leanred so much. We can highly recommend Glen and this tour to those seeking an in depth and personal city tour with a terrific guide. Thank you, Glen, for sharing your knowledge and love of New Orleans. Carolyn and Malcolm Rockell from the U.K

Private Witches Coven Walking Tour

We Accidentally Started With the Best Tour
We had never booked tours before, so we just hoped for the best… and honestly, our only complaint is that this one set the bar way too high for every other tour now.Morgan kept not only my husband and I completely engaged, but somehow even got the teens to take their headphones off and actually enjoy the experience too (which is no easy feat).This did not feel like a “this is a cool topic, let’s throw together a tour and make money” kind of experience. It felt like being guided by people who are genuinely passionate about sharing stories, history, and the people behind them. You could feel how much they cared, and it made the whole experience unforgettable.

Arguably the best tour and guide I've had the pleasure of engaging with! So much history and entertainment paired with a little bit of exercise. Highly recommended! A very resonable price for two hours of what feels like personalized fun. I will most certainly be returning for more DuPont Tour Experiences with Tour Guide Morgan Black (the FrenchQuarterNun) - Best in Class!

Personalized "Highlights of New Orleans" Tour is Fantastic
My wife and I went on a “Highlights of New Orleans” tour with Cassandra from ‘Soul of NOLA’ on April 8 2026. While this tour is more expensive than others, it is completely worth the price. We met Cassandra on the courthouse steps in the French District and after introducing herself she immediately asked us what our plans were for our vacation and what we were most interested in seeing. She then adapted her standard tour to best fit our needs as opposed to following a set itinerary. Cassandra was extremely knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and its people and we learned a lot. Throughout the tour, Cassandra made numerous recommendations for restaurants and musical acts and venues that matched our specific interests and tastes. We were able to catch two performances that she suggested and we enjoyed both of them immensely. We highly recommend Soul of NOLA and this tour for anyone who wants an overview of NOLA and a guide who will provide you with tailor made suggestions.

Carl did an amazing job! We love how he started at city park and we were able to get beignet's there. He did a great job, explaining the history of new orleans, the difference of uptown and downtown, the difference of the different cultures and so much more. Would definitely recommend!

Enjoyed the history
Booked this NOLA tour for my mom’s birthday. Pensacola girls hitting the Big Easy! Let me tell you, it did *not* disappoint. Our guide was a total gem: funny, sharp, and clearly knew every inch of the city (and probably some ghosts too). We hit all the highlights without feeling like tourists lost in a brochure. My mom was living her best life: beignets in hand, jazz in the air, soaking up the history like a queen. Maybe next year, if Mom insists (she will).
