Travel agency: Аккорд-тур Туроператор (Lviv) Service type: экскурсионный тур |
God knows, I have always advertised Accord among my friends and acquaintances as the best travel agency. And my review for 2010 on the Accord website was full of indignation at the nit-picking of the Crimean tourist. But after the tour of the Cote d'Azur, I want to say goodbye to Accord. The tour "Azure affair", which began on June 22, 2013 with the "schemer" Liza Tkachuk and the drivers, stupid or narrow-minded (to put it mildly) Pavlik and Garik (no complaints about him, the driver should be like that, calm and laconic). I foresee that our tourists will also write positive reviews, who have not seen how the pros work - the group leader and drivers. I was on tour with Accord for the sixth time, there is something to compare with. Undoubtedly, both Pavlik and Garik are great drivers. Only in contrast to the silent Garik Pavlik often carried the "joking". In his head, probably, "jokes" and "rudeness" are equivalent. Personally, I paid for the tour and the services of drivers not to be rude and spoil my mood. It is necessary to work with service personnel and explain their rights and responsibilities. Of course, my friend and I were late for the collection of tourists in Nice and the bus left without us to Eze, and then to Genoa. We got from Nice to Genoa on our own and on time, the group was not waiting for us. Clever Lizochka decided to punish us for independent movement in Monaco, honestly - the Fragonard factory was annoying, because I already knew its products, a waste of time for me, and for Lisa and the guide - their interest. Lisa had a lot of options to pick us up, but just call and warn that they were leaving. But she called later, when she was already racing to Eze. Before that, the whole group of us waited 20 minutes for tourists, and on other tours and more, we always found some kind of solution. In general, they rushed past us with a delay difference of 5 minutes. Well done, I calculated everything, they didn’t want to pay an elective, pay the fare. Not only did she leave us, another couple fell behind. Because of them, there was a hassle in Genoa, because they don’t know the language, we went to the final stop not in Genoa, but in Milan. And then the group was already waiting for them in Genoa for 2 hours and to no avail. Who is being punished, you ask? The next morning, this couple, hungry and tired, arrived in Verona. Well, of course, and we were late (I realize) and they are to blame. I felt sorry for them, but for those who "looked like a wolf" at them, I also want to wish someday such a journey and such Liza. And for Liza - you can finish your game, "don't renounce prison and the bag," it's good that it ended like that. And yet I wanted to write something like this only thanks to Pavlik (see above) and your Accord lies. For the first time I was deceived, the site does not match the price list, but the list with reality. And it’s not true that I wouldn’t like swimming in Balaton, I already swam. I counted on this free time (you also emphasized). And Heviz is contraindicated for me, he heals some, cripples others. For three hours on Heviz, the whole group hung out to kill time, while galloping through the interesting cities of Italy. And I chose the tour without night crossings, but it turned out with midnight ones (3 times before 1 a.m. we rode), and the surprise on the bus was the lack of steps. Why don't you "keep the brand" Accord?
Desperate people travel this far on the bus with the Accord. They can only sympathize. Not long ago, I calculated a similar tour with a normal hotel in Riga and, of course, it turned out by plane, taking into account the discounts that are now on Ryanair, it will turn out not much more expensive only in human conditions. But some tourists are thrill-seekers. Actually, the Accord is counting on them. And where does Russia have to Ukrainian crooks.
Отчаянные люди едут так далеко на автобусе еще и с Аккордом. Им можно только посочувствовать. Не давно просчитывала я подобный тур с нормальной гостиницей в Риге и конечно же самолетом получилось с учетом скидок которые сейчас на Ryanair то получится не намного дороже только в человеческих условиях. Но некоторые туристы любители острых ощущений . Собственно на них Аккорд и рассчитывает. Да и причем тут Россия к украинским проходимцам.
I read reviews about the Accord tour to Poland. People complained that they didn’t really look at anything, they didn’t get where they wanted to go, they suffered from Accord in a terrible bus. We went with my wife and daughter to Warsaw in a luxury bus from Ecoline: clean, comfortable, with screens on which you can watch movies, concerts, with a toilet, air conditioning, with a steward who prepared tea, coffee, sandwiches. We stopped in an excellent hostel and walked around like wanted and where they wanted. And advice to all - it is better to go to Europe yourself and get the most pleasure for your own money. And let the Accord go through the forest.
Читал отзывы об Аккордовском туре в Польшу.Люди жаловались на то,что ничего толком не посмотрели,туда,куда хотели попасть - не попали,в жутком автобусе от Аккорда намучались. Мы поехали с женой и дочерью в Варшаву в шикарном автобусе от Эколайна:чистом,удобном,с экранами на которых смотри себе кино,концерты,с туалетом,кондиционером,со стюардом,готовившем чай-кофе-бутерброды.В отличном хостеле остановились и нагулялись как хотели и где хотели. И всем совет - в Европу лучше ехать самому и получать максимум удовольствия за свои же деньги. А Аккорд пусть идет лесом.

The mice were crying, pricking...
Firstly, you don’t have to go to NG at all. In many Western countries, the entire Christmas movement has died down by this moment, in some places they even take apart the Christmas tree. You need to go in the first half of December, the maximum number is up to 20.
Secondly, the prices for flights to the Baltic countries are now such that it’s enough to catch a low-cost airline in a couple of weeks and you don’t have to bother with any buses (between countries it’s possible and necessary, and the buses there are of high quality, and the trip takes 4-4.5 hours ).
Thirdly, with ferries, tour operators are bred generally tough. Knowing the secret of the purchase, you can ride back and forth in Scandinavia for 10-20 euros / night per person in a separate cabin for at least one person (there are hotels under 100 for two or more). The secret is that they have the cheapest promotions for Swedes (and also Finns) on cruises to get drunk. Between Stockholm and Turku is the so-called.
A 23-hour cruise (of which you can buy two and interrupt them in the morning, using it as a regular night ferry), and to other cities it is usually there and back the next night and it is more expensive, but not like the operators rip off for sharing in a 4-bed cabin .
Also, as an alternative, there is a train Kyiv - Riga every 4 days, from 1300 with something UAH. It is even cheaper to drive through Belarus on your own if there is no low-cost airline on a particular day or if you need to carry something with you. (Perhaps the only plus from the bus tour is the convenience of carrying luggage, but with such a service, well, what the heck.)
Мыши плакали, кололись...
Во-первых, на НГ вообще не надо ездить. Во многих западных странах к этому моменту затихает весь рождественский движ, кое-где даже разбирают елку. Ездить надо в первой половине декабря, максимум числа до 20.
Во-вторых, цены на перелеты в страны Балтии сейчас такие, что достаточно за пару недель поймать лоукост и не нужно возиться ни с какими автобусами (между странами — можно и нужно, и автобусы там качественные, а ехать по 4-4,5 часа).
В-третьих, с паромами туроператоры разводят вообще жестко. Зная секрет покупки, можно кататься туда-сюда по Скандинавии за 10-20 евро/ночь с человека в отдельной каюте хоть на одного (отели там под 100 на двоих и выше). Секрет в том, что у них максимально дешевые акции для шведов (а также финнов) на круизы с целью побухать. Между Стокгольмом и Турку это т. н. 23-часовой круиз (которых можно купить два и прерывать их утром, пользуясь как обычным ночным паромом), а в прочие города обычно туда и на следующую ночь обратно и это обходится дороже, но не так как сдирают операторы за подселение в 4-местную каюту.
Также в качестве альтернативы существует поезд Киев - Рига раз в 4 дня, от 1300 с чем-то грн. Можно еще дешевле проехать самостоятельно через Беларусь, если в конкретный день нет лоукоста или если нужно что-то тащить с собой. (Пожалуй, единственный плюс от автобусного тура — удобство перевозки багажа, но при таком сервисе ну нафиг.)
