Throughout the entire 10 hour tour she made sure everyone in her care felt comfortable and involved, and went out of her way multiple times to make the experience as memorable and enjoyable as possible. My partner Heather and I cannot praise her performance enough, she clearly loves the work she does and her passion and energy is nothing short of contagious. Thanks for making this trip so amazing, Monica!”
