Kevin, our guide, made the excursion the highlight of the adventure! He had the perfect blend of education, humor, content and personality to keep our little group of 7 different countries engaged and entertained! He gave history without bias, but with flair and information that I felt as though I was immigrating to America that day. He also added pro photo tips to make our instagram moments on point! Great work to Kevin.
