Very competent excursion leader, great guide

5.00The excursion leader was very competent and seemed personally very pleasant. His English is crystal clear, his voice is strong, so you can follow him well and still hear his words well even in the street noise. You take him through his verbal and nonverbal signals in a pleasant way as the leader of the event was, but at the same time feels personally perceived and addressed, because there is always room for questions that are answered patiently and expertly. It also takes into account participants' personal interests (information on pricing structures and favourable purchasing options, comparisons of offers, explanation of urban transport). There was a balance between historical facts and human concerns. The leadership really enriched us, thank you for that Marina and Klaus from Germany
Great first day introductions!
