Nasrid Palace – Alhambra

by Kevin | posted in: Adventure, Architecture, Photography, Travel, UNESCO World Heritage | 0

The highlight of the Alhambra is the Nasrid Palace. This 13th century palace is the pinnacle of Spanish Islamic architecture. Even after the Reconquista at the end of the 15th century, the Spanish monarchies maintained the architectural details of the … Continued

Alhambra

by Kevin | posted in: Adventure, Architecture, Photography, Travel, UNESCO World Heritage | 0

The Alhambra did not disappoint. Its history and the architecture are spectacular! There are two ways to experience the Alhambra, with a guided tour or on your own. Tickets for a self-guided visit are much less expensive, but when I … Continued

Granada, Spain

by Kevin | posted in: Adventure, Architecture, Photography, Religious Sites, Travel, UNESCO World Heritage | 0

When planning this trip to Spain, I debated about where to go. My tickets were in and out of Madrid, so I thought I shouldn’t go too far away from the capitol and waste time traveling. I considered Granada, home … Continued

The Best of Salt Lake Kevin is a wonderful guide. He has knowledge of the area and history. Most important he has the ability to relate the information. To top it off, he is an accomplished author and illustrator of children's books. When visiting this unique city Kevin is the man to show you around.

Great informational tour of downtown Salt Lake City My brother and I wanted to learn more about the city we live in and Kevin's Historic Houses of Worship tour was an excellent choice. He gave us an overview of some of the churches we've only seen in passing; he has an obvious passion and interest in the old buildings in downtown Salt Lake City and their place in our history. Highly recommended tour.

Salt Lake City Historic Houses of Worship Walking Tour We did the "Salt Lake City Historic Houses of Worship Walking Tour" Jan. 29. The thing I found most interesting (since I have lived in SLC all my life) is how early and how many other religions were here in the early part of the state. We often think of Utah as just a "Mormon" state. Enjoyed the ones we were able to go inside and see the beautiful stained glass. Kevin knew lots of the interesting facts about the different religions.
