    Jeffrey and Jane lead these walking and bike tours with genuine passion and deep knowledge of New Orleans. Reviewers consistently praise Jeffrey's Anne Rice tour as a standout experience, noting how he brings the author's world to life while weaving in fascinating historical context. Even non-fans found themselves captivated by his storytelling and personable style. Jane gets equally enthusiastic praise for her impressive command of French Quarter history and colorful local characters, with guests appreciating the focus on authentic history rather than tourist gimmicks. The tours cover lesser-known parts of the city alongside famous spots, with guides who clearly love sharing their expertise. Several visitors called their experience the highlight of their New Orleans trip. The Anne Rice tour particularly resonates with fans, visiting key locations from her life and work, including recent filming sites. A couple of reviews mention interpersonal conflicts between tour guides on the street, though these seem to be isolated incidents rather than typical experiences. Overall, guests leave with memorable stories, local recommendations, and a much richer understanding of the city's fascinating history.

    Jeffrey was great on the Anne Rice tour. I went with my partner, who is an avid fan of her work and me, who never read any of her works, enjoyed the tour. He was very friendly and personable. You will see some great sights on this tour, and he knows everything there is to know about Anne Rice. Highly recommend booking with him.
