Great private tour with a very knowledgeable guide an elderly lady with extensive knowledege of the Lavra and its history. A perfect and convenient way to get more out of your visit to the Lavra. Pick up from the hotel and drop off at the hotel or, in this case, at St. Sophia Cathedral. Highly recommended!
