The best and most effecienr (and engaging)
We had a tour w Alexander, from the first seconds of meeting him, our kids were hooked. He asked aboutnus then tailored his speech to our interests (which were mythology, history). He was the kind of guide able to keep everyone so interested in the tour w stories that captivated and were tailored to us. We felt like we were with the “most interesting man on earth”, wvwn going off script for our questiins and making it all feel like conversation. Before we went walking anywhere (like acropolis) he taught us what to look for and whats to know… we walked in so well prepared ans got the most outnof everything. His driving was so smooth he offered water and even had an old coin to show us. Thw mids were begging ro be sure we tipped well by the end of his tour; this guy was worth every penny. Worth requesting!!!
