Mr. Glen took our family on a fabulous tour through New Orleans. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining- he spoke on New Orleans history, culture, architecture and more. He also pointed out several place to be sure we visit during our stay. Mr. Glen made us feel like old friends. We had our 9 year old daughter with us and he was extra attentive to make her feel included. He even made personalized accommodations to make sure our daughter had some ice-cream. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone traveling to New Orleans.

Glen is a wealth of knowledge and information. He delivered on everything he describes in his bio. He is VERY communicative before the tour in making all the arrangements, he will work with you in whatever detail you might need. On the day of the tour he was on time and again, in touch the whole way. If his price-point works for you, then you should definitely reach out and contact him for more info.
