Ryan was great! He knew so much, and he was engaging and helpful. The museum was so crowded that I could hardly believe it, but Ryan helped us have a great time. I’d definitely recommend him to someone else!
Ryan was excellent! Our kids were captivated by his story telling and quite frankly so were we! He did a great job of providing some history and showing visuals and then gave us the opportunity to check things out before moving onto the next section of the museum. Thank you Ryan.
Jonathan was fantastic! He did such a good job engaging with my nephews (4 & 2). He was able to easily customize how much time to spend in different parts of the museum (more dinasours and gorillas please!) based on what the kids wanted. And he also through in some interesting facts for the adults. He really was great and I’d highly recommend.
