Great Guide Knowledgable and Caring Ensured a Great Experience.
Aristotle, Greek Tourist Guide的点评
点评:We went on a ten day tour of the Peloponnese organized around the theme of the Homeric Epics. The tour group consisted of 14 people. Aristotle was our guide, and more than that, shepherd, for all of it. He made the trip a great experience.
The tour included not just the sites of the Bronze Age (Mycenae, Pylos): but, also Classical Era (Epidaurus and Olympia), Byzantine Mystras, and the complicated history of Cephalonia.
Aristotle showed us all of these sites and explained them and their significance in excellent English, and with good humor. Every day he wore a different shirt of his own design with a funny statement about being an archeologist. He has an an absolutely encyclopedic knowledge of Greece, its history and culture, and always shared interesting insights and anecdotes. He made some long bus rides very entertaining.
Beyond that he took good care of us. When I struggled with the steep walkways at Mystras he loaned me his walking stick. He made sure we were well taken care of at restaurants. When a group member was injured he took her to the hospital and made sure she got appropriate care.
I cannot imagine having a better guide for a trip to any part of Greece and to see sites of its thousands of years of history.
翻译:我们围绕荷马史诗的主题进行了为期十天的伯罗奔尼撒之旅。该旅游团由14人组成。亚里士多德是我们的向导,更重要的是,他是我们这一切的牧羊人。他让这次旅行成为一次很棒的经历。
这次旅行不仅包括青铜时代的遗址(迈锡尼、皮洛斯):还包括古典时代(埃皮达鲁斯和奥林匹亚)、拜占庭米斯特拉斯和凯法利尼亚岛复杂的历史。
亚里士多德向我们展示了所有这些网站,并用流利的英语和幽默的方式解释了它们及其重要性。他每天都穿着自己设计的不同衬衫,上面写着关于考古学家的有趣声明。他对希腊及其历史和文化有着绝对百科全书式的了解,并且总是分享有趣的见解和轶事。他让长途巴士之旅变得非常有趣。
除此之外,他还把我们照顾得很好。当我在米斯特拉斯陡峭的人行道上挣扎时,他借给了我他的手杖。他确保我们在餐馆得到很好的照顾。当一名小组成员受伤时,他将她送往医院并确保她得到适当的护理。
我无法想象有更好的导游来游览希腊的任何地方并参观其数千年的历史遗址。
