Kevin was an amazing tour guide! As a native New Yorker and artist, he had a deep knowledge of the area and shared fascinating historical facts, engaging stories, and insightful details about architecture and design. He was an excellent communicator: clear, professional, and a wonderful storyteller. My husband and I happened to be the only guests that day, so it turned into a private tour just for us. We’re so glad we got to spend the afternoon with him. Thank you, Kevin!
