He’s very well prepared with all of his documents to demonstrate, he explained the old myths and historical stories. Also he answers lots of our questions, any of our requests on the way (like stop for restroom, or to buy water…) he always tried his best to satisfy us. I’m also impressed that he even prepared little quiz (with prizes) for the kids from a family who joined the tour. At the end of the tour, he gave us recommendations of where to eat around the area.…”
