Alex was great! It was cold, raining and I'm not a history enthusiast but Alex had my attention the whole time. He was personable, friendly, likable, knew his Romanian history and brought more recent history to life with stories of his childhood in the town. We had a lovely evening wandering around Brasov and learning about this old town. Thank you!
