Bourbon Street

Lafitte’s Blacksmith shop is one of the oldest buildings in the French Quarter. The story goes, this shop survived the fires of 1788 and 179_ because it was, in fact, a blacksmith shop, and so structurally it was built to withstand large amounts of heat.

Brett was AMAZING!! The information he shared and also on the insider information that you know that is not easily available. I never expected New Orleans to have that much of history and also after hearing from Brett, I have new appreciation about the quaint lanes and homes. Thank you so much Brett! we truly enjoyed ourselves

Beyond wonderful experience, our tour guide Brett was very knowledgeable and had a lot of great information to share with us. He walked us through the quarter, pointed out buildings, architectural styles, kept us intrigued by the timeline and had fantastic recommendations for us. He was funny and informative at the same time, would highly recommend.

Getting the views of someone who grew up in the area was a real treat. If you're really interested in architecture and architectural history, this is the tour for you. Brett pointed out one of the most architecturally incongruous buildings I've ever seen.

We got a fantastic time with Brett. Super knowledgeable guy, very friendly and professional. He also knows a lot about the architecture of downtown which is fascinating to hear. He took us to great and very interesting places. The tour was worthy every penny and we strongly recommend Brett if you are visiting NOLA. He went above and beyond of our expectations and he even recommended to us great restaurants, bars and places to our taste. Thanks so much Brett - you did a wonderful job!!!
