Martín ha sido bastante bueno explicando curiosidades de los Habsburgo y lo importante que ha sido la ciudad como puente entre los Balcanes-eslavos y la Europa occidental, y su influencia austriaca, muy buen tour

Martin è un ragazzo molto preparato e professionale. Riesce a raccontare la storia dei luoghi che mostra dando moltissime informazioni ma in modo divertente, inserendo anche qualche aneddoto personale. Consiglio a tutti una visita con lui!
