Ivan ci ha raccontato Spalato

Elena_B, Aug 2022

Con Ivan abbiamo fatto un tour di Spalato molto interessate e dettagliato, da vero appassionato della storia della sua città ci ha mostrato angoli nascosti e raccontato aneddoti particolari in un fluente italiano. Siamo stati davvero soddisfatti di questa esperienza, anche i nostri 2 bimbi, di 5 e 7 anni

Excellent guide

Bernard_P, Aug 2022

Très belle visite et très bon guide. Il a su répondre à nos questions avec le sourire et beaucoup de gentillesse, et interesser nos enfants de 12 ans.
