Alex was a great host and guide. He was extremely friendly, knowledgable, and genuinely cared about our experience. We got to know him fairly well in a short time. He has lived and studied in the US and conversed extremely well in english. The boat was very nice and perfect for or excursion. I highly recommend Alex and his experience to anyone. We were in Europe for a 10 day 25th anniversary trip, and our last morning (before flying out that afternoon), couldn't have been spend any better. Beautiful morning ride, seeing all the views/attractions from a unique perspective. 5 stars all the way around.
