Dark, funny, informative - Kenny was an amazing guide, a real professional. This was a truse "dark side" tour complete with murder, torture, war, and tragedy, all served with a healthy dose of dark humor. The history presented was accurate and factual, but not academic. I strongly recommend this tour, but not for the queasy.
