    Ken was a fabulous tour guide for our family trip to Durham. He personalized our walking tour to suit our interests at our pace. He is a polished communicator and shared many points of interest and stories we would not have found on or own or with guide books. His local and historical knowledge was remarkable. He also pointed out some great places to eat during our visit. I highly recommend his walking tour. Thank you Ken!
