We took the free Cemetery Tour (St. Louis Cemetery No. 1) and it was terrific. Despite being the only two people to show up on a late Monday morning, the guide Jeffrey did not hesitate to take us. It was a quick walk just a couple blocks from the French Quarter, and he had plenty of entertaining stories to tell... More

We toured the Quarter with Mark. Because my wife and I were the only people touring, Mark asked if we had a preference of what he focused on. We asked for a historical tour and we were enthralled and educated. Mark knew his area and the history well, and the image of the past came alive with his historically accurate... More

I just did this tour last night with a few girlfriends and it was very cool and chill. And....wait for it....FREE! :-) Jerffrey was very knowledgable and had some pretty cool ghost stories. We were glad to have found this tour!

This should be the first thing you do, when you come to New Orleans. This tour was packed with exquisite facts about the Crescent City. Jeffrey was knowledgable and passionate about his subject matter and city. He recomended books, knew his history and cleared up several myths that are perpetuated in New Orleans. The tour was an easy pace stopping... More

We took the StrangeTrue tour in New Orleans in April 2013. We had a great time and our tour guide Jeffery is very knowledgeable and made the tour a lot of fun. It is a leisurely walk and Jeffery gives you a lot of history, fun facts, tells stories and points out actual sights to go with the stories. He... More

We went on a Ghost, Legends, and Lore tour with Jeffrey and spent the next two hours alternating between laughing our butts off and being creeped out. You immediately feel like you're taking a stroll with a buddy of yours. Definitely worth the time and money.

My wife and I were on Jeffrey's "STRANGE TRUE" tour during the afternoon on Thursday, March 28, 2013. There's a reason he's referred to by some locals as "The Legend"... We have been to New Orleans more times than I can recount and have been on several tours with other companies. Now that we have met Jeffrey and completed this... More

Jeffrey is an entertaining tour guide. He has some funny stories and knows a lot about NO; although I'm not convinced that all of his research is accurate.

I visited NOLA in March 2013 and took Jefferey's "Strange True Tour" and "Ghosts, Legends, and Lore of New Orleans" tour. BEST DECISION of my trip! Jefferey was a fantastic guide!!!
