Kay was an amazing guide! So knowledgeable and engaging! She kept everyone on our tour involved and made sure to point out sight from the filming of the show “Outer Banks” for my teenager, which was awesome. So much history in 2 hours and it served as a blueprint for us to walk around the city again later and take it all in some more!
