Felt like celebrities

Brian was personable and so knowledgeable. He answered our questions thoroughly and took time to explain stops of particular interest to us. . Everyone in the French Quarter knew him. We felt like celebrities. My husband is blind and Brian was very aware of referencing steps, uneven pavement, etc.

Ten out of ten!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this tour guide!! Andersen made this 2-hour walking tour fly by with humor and really interesting facts about the old history of the French Quarter mixed with pop culture to keep my boys attention. I thoroughly enjoyed how he paid respect to the culture(s) of the past. Would recommend not just the tour, but specifically Anderson if you want to soak up the Quarter like a sponge.

Operator response

I really appreciate your kind words and support! It means a lot—thanks for coming on the tour.
