Unsere Tour war super interessant und vielseitig, es kam niemals in den 3 Stunden Langeweile auf, ganz im Gegenteil, wir hatten viel Spaß mit ihm. Michalis ist unbedingt als deutsch und englisch sprachiger Guide zu empfehlen, da er auch mit unserem englischem Gast ohne Probleme kommunizieren konnte. Vielen Dank Michalis für den tollen Tag.
