Какая девушка среднего возраста. Какой непристойный жест. Что за бред вы пишете. Это просто удивительный человек. И не надо обзываться.

Юля 24.09.2022

Уважаемые будущие туристы этого гида, если вы желаете, чтобы половина Вашей экскурсии была потрачена на общение с прихожанами этого бывшего священника, которое он никак не собирается лимитировать, то Вам именно к нему. Лично мне было неприятно не только это: возмутительно было то, что он показал мне неприличный жест (на 20 минуте общения), я была в семье, но не станешь же папе жаловаться, портить отношения внутри нашей индивидуальной экскурсии. Я думала, что он по деревенскости своей считает это за комплимент, но нет: был целый ряд эмоционального выпинывания меня в течение дня. Он и маме то же самое показал. Ну не бить же его за это! Вообще какой-то неприятный тип: официантов называет "живым меню", выпрашивает (даже у меня! - я девушка среднего возраста), чтобы его угостили буквально каждый раз, когда мы что-то покупали, хотя мы и так не обделили его вниманием за обедом. В отеле о нем говорили, что он любит напиваться здесь с москвичами, за что (но не только за это) его сняли с должности священника. Какая-то скрытая агрессия в этом разодетом петухом человеке! Вечно пытается чему-то учить и именно женщин, однажды даже хотел меня вызволить отдельно, но это уже было чревато чем-то явно преходящим границы (хотя куда уж больше, но оказалось, есть куда), благо, мы с папой переглянулись - обошлось! ЧУЧЕЛО! Какой-то мерзкий тип: делает все, чтобы вы не приехали, но приглашает на следующий раз и вечно сбивает с толку. Отдельно следует оценить его организованность: обсуждали же, что едем в монастырь (не в пешей доступности к центру города) на его личном транспорте с возмещением затрат, но нет, он просит заказать такси, тут еще и дождь начался сильный.. Это смешно, что он думает, что все из больших городов всегда ездят на такси, хуже даже то, что он эту мысль не собирается корректировать в сторону хотя бы видимости интеллигентного человека. В общем, не позитивный товарищ.

Очень хочется поделится впечатлениями и той атмосферой, которую создаёт батюшка Александр на своих экскурсия! Мы в основном посещали Ростов Великий как паломники. Но с ним мы были ещё и в Ярославле. Он всегда интересно рассказывает, отвечает на вопросы и задаёт их вам, как будто хочет закрепить материал, и это важно, это интересно, и не занудно. Спасибо вам батюшка и до новых встреч!

Наталия Хомякова 27.03.2022

Много раз были в Ростове, очень этот город любим. 12 марта решили узнать его получше и прогуляться вместе с Александром. И это было очень мудрое решение! Он провел нас по не самым туристическим местам, рассказал о жизни города в прошлом и в настоящем. С ним поднялись под купол главного храма города. Вид потрясающий! И экскурсия потрясающая. Всем советуем, не пожалеете!

Хазиахметов Расим Магсумович 06.03.2022

В очередной раз приехали в Ростов Великий, который кажется исходили уже вдоль и поперек. Приехали с друзьями, которые оказались здесь впервые. Однако после экскурсии, проведенной с Александром мы поняли, что Ростов для нас по прежнему остается книгой, в которой много непрочитанных страниц. Спасибо большое за очень познавательную и очень интересную экскурсию. Надеемся на продолжение.
