Travel agency: Аккорд-тур Туроператор (Lviv)
Service type: экскурсионный тур

Don't trust them. This was the second attempt to leave Odessa with the Accord-Tour company. Once I promised myself that I would never again in my life ..... but over time I made a different decision, due to the lack of other options for leaving Odessa for Transylvania at the right time. Last time there was a driver, like a warden from a correctional colony. This time, the guardian, drivers and guides were excellent, but the bus was an instrument of torture. The legroom between the seats was 11 cm, while the rear seats do not recline - this is prudently written in the contract. In the penultimate row, it was the same, but their seats were laid out almost to a lying position (I have not seen such a SV anywhere else, even when flying to China). But they could not lie down, as the backs of their seats lay on us.

When buying a tour, having learned about the lack of seats in other rows, except for the last one, we decided not to go. The travel agent, in front of us, called the operator - and there she was told that there would be another bus. . Most likely, I would just go to the floor of the road, but I was lucky that a set of 5 people did not gather. Thank God 2 people didn't go to Izmail. My husband and I drove almost on the same seat with our feet in the aisle.

The mice were crying, pricking...
This "business" will not change, except that it will find a few more ways to take money from the population.

The money for the tour can be returned if you act correctly.
1) If you have concluded an Agreement with a Travel Agency (not with an operator!), paid money to the Travel Agency, then the Travel Agency must return the money. The Agreement says about this: Tour operator Accord does not deal directly with tourists. (clause 5 1 2 of the Agreement) He entered into an Agreement with the Travel Agency. And if you are told to write complaints and demand money from Accord directly, then know that you are being deceived. This is beneficial for the travel agent and the operator Accord too. They will fool you like that. Read your contract, paragraph 5 1 3 - The travel agent returns the money for the failed tour.
2) Read paragraph 8. 4 of the Agreement - you have every right to refuse a tour that has been postponed, because other dates do not suit you, because you were offered a tour with a night move (and this does not suit you for health reasons), but the main thing is that you are being rescheduled for the tour. Read paragraph 8.4 - it's all written there.
The money must be returned to you by the Travel Agent in full - 100% without any fines. Not later than 3 days before the start of the tour, he must inform you that the tour has been postponed so that you can write a Claim to him and demand a refund of the entire amount. In this paragraph 8 4 all this is written. Write a claim 3 days before the tour! It is very important!
3) How to write a Claim to the Travel Agency is written in paragraph 5 2 4, indicate everything point by point, as it is written there. Full name, address, contract number, etc., and describe the situation that they say the tour was postponed, but I can’t do it on other days. Therefore, I am writing in three days, as indicated in clause 8 4 of my Agreement, and I demand to return the entire amount without any fines. Take the claim in 2 copies on the same day to the Travel Agent and let him sign on your second copy that he received such a chill and put a seal.
All. Then let the Travel Agency deal with the operator, and it should return the money to you.
If they freeze, then threaten the travel agency with a lawsuit and that you will demand compensation for moral damages.

I will also add that travel agencies have known for a long time that the Accord tour is throwing tourists for money, that it has fictitious tours, but they continue to sell their tours. If they stopped selling their tours, then the Accord would have been gone a long time ago, or they would have started to work honestly. And so, as long as Travel Agencies shamelessly participate in these scams, all this will continue. Most of our people are not legally literate, they are not used to turning to lawyers, which is why swindlers flourish.
