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
