Буду рада показать вам город, в котором живу больше 20 лет и где мой интерес к истории вырос в профессию. Я гид-экскурсовод аккредитованный Министерством Курортов и туризма Крыма и наиболее известными крымскими дворцами. Проведу для вас экскурсию по Ялтинской набережной, а также 2 авторских маршрута по старому городу, известные дворцы Южного берега - Ливадийский, Воронцовский и Массандровский, великокняжеские имения Дюльбер и Харакс. Найду интересные темы для умудренных опытом и годами и для молодых (лет примерно от 7-8). Также приглашаю прогуляться с пользой для здоровья и души по горным тропам в районе Ялты. Нагрузку и протяженность маршрута подберем под ваши возможности. А если вы любопытны и выносливы - приглашаю на экскурсию в пещерные города Мангуп-Кале и Эски-Кермен.
