“Spectacular day - Alex was a sensational host. We had a fabulous day with him showing us so many beautiful places. He took us to places that we never would have found on our own. His car was very comfortable and he spoke very good English. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the area and shared that with us. We had time to spend on our own in many of the stops.
