Strange true tour was great. Very knowledgeable and interesting.
If you book through viator be sure to call the tour company direct to confirm your reservation. Somewhere there is a disconnect.

Jeffrey was a great guide and gave us tons of information on his theories and ideas about Oswald in Nee Orleans and the JFK assassination. We also got to see some of the places used in the movie. Great tour for anyone interested in the assassination conspiracy theories. Loved it

Husband and wife team Jeffery and Janice run an awesome tour. Jeffery is very knowledgeable about New Orleans history and he also has amazing background and knowledge on lesser known historical stories. All yours are small personal and small group. You will have a great experience when you book.

I originally did the Strange True Tour with Jeffrey in 2014. It was my first visit to New Orleans and made me really appreciate the city and what makes it so unique.
In late February 2020, I was back in NOLA with a group of 6 friends. Upon arriving, we did a cocktail tour through another company which I would not recommend (such a racket). My friends who had never been in NOLA were having fun, but weren't as enchanted with the city as I had first been. So, I booked another tour with Strange True! They were able to take us with same day booking, and this time, we had Jane as a guide.
I cannot recommend this tour enough! Unlike a graveyard, ghost or cocktail tour that focuses only on one aspect of the city, Strange True covers literally everything, from the events in France and Canada leading up to the settling of Louisiana to burial history, from prohibition to drag, burlesque culture all the way through present day political news. Jane literally seems to know everything (not in an obnoxious way), is totally approachable, and was a wealth of knowledge not just about the city but about the music world and life on the bayou. he truly makes you appreciate what makes the area so unique and enchanting, but keeps it honest. She also gave us her cell phone number at the end and encouraged us to reach out for bar/restaurant recommendations. My friends all said at the end that they were sooo glad we did this tour.
In my several trips to New Orleans, I have probably done 9 tours and this is hands down the best. Even though I had done it before with Jeffrey, the guides tailor the topics to the group so I still learned tons of new info. I think if you do this one, you can easily skip all other city tours because this covers so much.
Thank you, Jane!

As first-timers to Nola and visiting for a bachelorette party, we were looking to learn a little history while there. This tour was so far beyond our expectations. Our tour guide, Jane, was so knowledgeable and an afternoon with her felt more like an outing with a friend than a guided tour. She presented things in a way that was really fun and it was the perfect addition to our weekend’s events. If I find myself in Nola again, I would not hesitate to book again!
