SARAH | Manager & Tour Guide
From Washington State, but her mama was born in Alabama. Needless to say, Sarah knows lots about the South.
As a child, her family always took cultural vacations. One year they took a three-week train trip with stops in Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and New Orleans (Sarah's first visit to NOLA).
She fell in love with New Orleans and all things historic.
After college, Sarah did a year of service in AmeriCorps for the Red Cross of New Orleans. This was a life-changer, and she knew she wanted NOLA to be her new home. Her mother was thrilled.
Back then Sarah acted like a drama queen about all the museums she had to visit, her mom said that she would thank her later.
So true! Sarah is still into drama, history, culture, good food, museums, architecture, music, and NEW ORLEANS!!
ANDREW | Tour Guide
Andrew Farrier is a small-town boy from Louisiana who arrived in New Orleans just ahead of the winds of Hurricane Katrina. He's been sharing the history of his adopted city since 2013.
With Tours by Foot New Orleans, he's created more YouTube videos than he can count on his fingers AND toes, plus a handful of audio tours that you can find on this very website.
He also makes the odd appearance in locally shot films and TV shows and produces a couple of podcasts. www.andrewfarrier.com
ROBI | Tour Guide
Robi is a native creole person from Bayou Sara Louisiana (Saint Francisville). (He's one of three FTBF tour guides from St. Francisville, Louisiana - collect all three!)
Born into the mysterious religion of Voodoo, he has achieved the highest rank in Louisiana Plantation Voodoo, Haitian Voodoo, and is also initiated in African Voodoo.
Robi has traveled to many different countries and states, teaching about the culture and religion while disproving common misconceptions presented to the public through the media.
MATTHEW | Tour Guide
Matthew grew up in li'l ol' St. Francisville, Louisiana (along with fellow guides Andrew and Robi), but since his grandparents lived in New Orleans, the city found its way into his life early on.
After some extensive traveling, he came to the logical conclusion that there's no better place to live than New Orleans and consequently made it his home.
Since then, he's immersed himself in the city's complex and puzzling history, in particular the delightful curiosities that history books often overlook.
He is a chronic storyteller, and in addition to giving tours, he also writes fiction, plays, and comics and occasionally makes films.
DANIEL | Tour Guide
Daniel is a New Orleans native, born in Algiers and raised in Gretna. He loves history and holds a Bachelor's Degree in History from Penn State University.
He is a great story-teller and loves to open people’s eyes to the beauties of history and its meaning.
In his spare time, he paints figures and miniatures and enjoys watching bad movies. Ask him about his favorite podcast.
SANDY | Tour Guide
Sandy was born in Georgia but moved to New Orleans in 1995. She holds a Master’s degree in history from Valdosta State University.
Sandy is an artist and writer, who likes to spin a good yarn in the beloved tradition of southern storytelling.
Sandy meant New Orleans to be a stop-over but twenty plus years later, the romance continues.
KAYLA | Tour Guide
Born and raised in the heart of Cajun Country, Kayla has had a life-long love affair with the Crescent City.
Life on the Louisiana bayous was slow and it looked nothing like life on TV, so at the age of 23, Kayla ran off to the West Coast in search of brighter opportunities.
Needless to say, the transition was quite a shock. No crawfish? No gumbo? No Mardi Gras? Suddenly the slow but celebratory life of Louisiana began to look better and better.
In 2004, Kayla returned to her bayou home, and hasn’t looked back since.
She moved to New Orleans in 2013, because frankly, she wasn’t getting any younger and the silent but persistent call of Lady Nola would not let her go.
Hailing from a long line of Cajun storytellers, she holds a Bachelor of Theatre Arts from Northwestern State University of Louisiana, and is thrilled to be able to share the unique beauty, cuisine, history, and culture of New Orleans with visitors from around the world.
