Outstanding, second to none tour guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, tactful, helpful. Perfect! Loved the tour, venue, transport, ice water, courteous treatment. Local expert with equally excellent local expertise.

Ken’s knowledge of the out buildings and gardens was outstanding. He also was flexible with us about the extra time we wanted at different sites. We enjoyed the museum and would love to go back to it. Thanks!!

We were lucky enough to spend 2 days with Ken as our guide on our recent trip to Washington DC. The car is very clean and we enjoyed Ken's informative drive as we made our way to Mt. Vernon. Having a personal guide around the grounds was amazing. Ken made sure we saw everything and was able to answer our never ending barrage of questions. Our second day together was spent touring the National Museum of the ARMY and visiting various sites in Alexandria. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed both days with Ken as our guide. I would definitely recommend a day with Ken to anyone visiting the area looking for a personalized vacation.
