Not often I meet the situation, when a tour guide is the best part of the trip, but it was the one! Alex! Exceptional enthusiasm and passion, knowledge about the region, history and art. This was a really unique experience, in few hours I received a solid course of history. Alex is a TRUE erudit, with a proper hint of craziness. Kudos to you!
