We 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.

I had an incredible experience exploring Saint-Malo with Brendan! From the moment the tour started, it was clear how passionate he is about history — especially the city's role during the war and its connections with different nations throughout the centuries. He brought the past to life with detailed stories, insightful facts, and a contagious enthusiasm that made everything more engaging. It truly helped me see the city in a new light. Things I would have just walked past — old signs, coats of arms, architectural details, even street names — suddenly had meaning and stories behind them. If you're lucky enough to visit Saint-Malo, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Brendan!
