Latest reviews from our guests

Stepan was terrific. He gave me a solo tour tailored to my interests with lots of history. We went into substantial depth and he was incredibly knowledgeable. He saw that I had a camera and then suggested some specific spots with good views for me to take photos. I would recommend him to anyone looking to see the city.

Stefan is extremely knowledgeable and a master storyteller. He planned an interesting itinerary, and he had much to share about culture, history, environment and geography. He is also personable and gracious. Highly recommend.

Stepan was an amazing guide. He gave a great overview of history of the city and country, guided me to key sites, went beyond the basic tour and adapted it to my interests (he saw I had a camera and found opportunities to take me towards key lookouts). I will certainly recommend him to anyone I know visiting.
