Kevin is not just a guide, he is a tour organiser with heart and the special ability to adapt to each individual in the group. He manages to connect cultures and impart his knowledge of the country, its people and their culture in a smart way. This tour was unique thanks to Kevin and the memories of this day will stay with us forever.
