Overview
"Explore the magnificent atmosphere of the Danube Bend – let the fabulous, old town, Vac, fascinate you!" Tour guiding is not only my really profession, but my passion too. I am open-minded, friendly and get on well with people very easily. Meeting new people from different parts of the world is the most fantastic thing that I can imagine. I would be happy to show the travellers my wonderful home town where I know every hidden corners, story of the beautiful baroque buildings and legends.
