This concise, interesting and quite thorough tour of the city of St Malo was well worth it.

5.00A perfectly curated tour that gave us a concise and informative history of St Malo as well as the salient landmarks. Brendan paid attention to the fact that we were from Montreal and made sure to include the highlights of Jacques Cartier. Brendan is knowledgeable about history and a pleasure to spend 2 hours with.

5.00We visited Saint-Malo and while we already somewhat aware of the typical information, Brenden brought the city to life with fascinating insights into its history, from its origins in the 6th century through WWII and the subsequent rebuilding. We particularly enjoyed learning about the connection between Saint-Malo and Louisiana, given our ties to New Orleans. If you want to truly appreciate and understand the city, we highly recommend Brenden.

5.00A last minute decision to take a guided tour in Saint-Malo turned into a truly memorable experience. Brendan is a delightful person to spend an afternoon with, in addition to being impressively knowledgeable about his adopted town and country. In two hours I learned centuries of history through Brendan’s stories and anecdotes about Saint-Malo. Recommend A++

5.00Brendan was the consummate guide—personable and knowledgeable. He took us away from the crowded, touristy part of town, regaling us with stories of the town’s history. The time flew. We’re so glad we had Brendan to introduce us to St. Malo.

5.00This is a great tour! Brendan brings a unique perspective being an American that lives in the area. He is very knowledgable in the history of Saint Malo, including World War II. He will tailor his presentation to the interests of his group. As tourists from Saskatchewan, Canada we appreciated a guide that spoke English and was very relatable as a tour guide to our personalities and interests, and he is a super nice guy! Well worth the price.
A fantastic tour of Saint Malo from a brilliant Tour guide

5.00We had the pleasure of taking one of Brendan’s tours of Saint Malo. It was a place that my husband and I had always wanted to visit but had never taken the opportunity to do so. Brendan stood out to us as a tour guide for a couple of reasons. 1. It felt natural choosing him as he spoke our native language and 2. We really felt we connected with his humorous and novel take on telling history about the area, as we had seen from his social media. Let’s just say when we started the tour neither of us were disappointed. It was exactly what we expected. Fun, enthusiastic, engaging and a pleasure to be in Brendan’s company around such a spectacular place. He really pulls you into the magical history of St Malo. There was so much to learn about the town, we had no idea that it held so much history. I won’t ruin what happens on the tour of Saint Malo, as I think it’s all part of the surprise of the exceptional tour that Brandon has created. All I can say is please take the time, watch his videos, go follow him, and take the trip. It is so worth it. Brendan, we look forward to exploring St. Malo more, and that’s all down to you, so thank you.
Brendan was fabulous....
