Great holiday in May

We, like many other tourists, met Evgeny Vasilievich through advertising. We were interested in a rich bus tour. tour "Seven Capitals of Europe + Tulip Paradise" in May this year. A man in retirement age - made a good impression on us when we discussed the tour program. He explained everything intelligibly and we made a decision and participated in the tour. Yes, it was not easy, but how much interesting things we saw and heard thanks to the head of the program group - we saw Warsaw and Lazienki Park, spring Berlin and the Reichstag, visited Sanssouci Park in Potsdam - we were especially struck by Amsterdam and two highlights of the tour! - tulip paradise - Kokenhof park in Holland and the frozen Middle Ages - fabulous Bruges (in Belgium) with its amazing canals, the capital of Europe - Brussels with the European Parliament and the amazing Grand Place, and Paris, the Louvre, Versailles in May it was like in a fairy tale! and on the way back, the leader showed us the amazing Golden Prague and at the finish line - ancient Krakow! There were some small hitches that simply cannot be compared with the emotions received on this tour. Returning home, we realized that the leader did everything to make the tour take place and wanted to give us as much as possible, but not always third-party factors, and also time was to help him!

When we received a program to Italy for August from Evgeny Vasilyevich, we were among the first to conclude a contract for the tour.

We will not hide - we received a bonus and good seats in the compartment train and bus - the first row - we asked that we would shoot. Our goal was to see and learn more about this beautiful country, and not just sunbathe and go shopping. In general, the tour program was completed:

- On the way to Italy - there was a story about the European Union and the Schengen agreement, we saw Budapest, had a photo session, learned a lot about Lake Balaton, stopped in transit. hotel, then there was a scenic drive through a very small but beautiful country of Slovenia and then Bella Italia - our leader handed out phrasebooks and we practiced saying the main words. Information about Italy, its geography, especially history, culture, outstanding people of Italy - was exhaustive. To some it seemed like a lot. As always, the guide was prepared and brought with him a lot of informational material, especially about Italy.

We were located in the suburbs of Rimini, the hotel is not far from the beach (5 min. ) - the rooms are spacious but, unfortunately, without balconies, and it’s hard on the sea without a balcony, there was nowhere to dry things, but it was easy to agree to change the room, restaurant and kitchen were at their best - it was possible to get better because of the abundance of dishes and confectionery.

The group, though not at full strength, but gathered for an optional trip to Rome - where a booked guide was waiting for us and we saw a lot of interesting things from the Colosseum, the Forum, walked to the Vatican. Before the last march to the Vatican - a guide. made a halt for 20 min. (it was hot) - and when we got together - we went for a guide in min. 10 - found that one tourist was missing! The guide left the group with the guide and ran back with another man to look for her, as he said, he called her all the time - and she left her body. at the hotel - by the way, she was late almost everywhere we went. Returning to the group - having lost a lot of time - on the way to the Vatican - she was found, because of her our acquaintance with the Vatican was fleeting. Then we really wanted to see - beautiful Florence, but there were very few people who wanted to, the guide tried to find options - but entering Florence by bus is even more expensive than Venice. And he negotiated with the ordered guide, but it still turned out to be more expensive than planned, even with the transfer by train. We were not upset and went to the Italy park in Miniature.

But almost everyone gathered in the Republic of San Marino, she was a gift from the leader of the group, that is, for free, after tasting with him, a few went on an excursion - everyone rushed to souvenir and all sorts of shops, then brought the group to a huge hypermarket with clothing stores, shoes and products. We concluded that more than half of the group came on a shopping tour. In Venice - he showed us a lot of interesting things and showed us where you can take a gondola ride for less. But there was enough time for a photo session and for souvenirs, and still there were those who were late!

And in conclusion, on the last day of the tour - he was taking the group in Hungary under the program to Eger "Valley of Beauties" - we were not there and we were interested. Tourists tired of moving - began to shout, do not call in and turn the rest against him! But the guide insisted and made a stop.

After those who wished to taste the wines of Hungary - for free (and who would you think ran to the tasting for free ??? It was those who screamed the most and did not want to stop) and were able to buy the ones they liked (the screaming only tasted for free), and who did not taste , ate the famous goulash and other dishes - everyone's mood improved. Even those who shouted the most and insulted the guide - fell silent.

And finally, near the border of Ukraine at a halt - the bus stalled, the battery ran out of steam - from the constant operation of air conditioners. The guide was very worried, the men of the group pushed the bus and, without turning off the engine, we crossed the border and arrived at the railway station to our train. It certainly was not comme il faut, but this can not happen on the road. And about bad habits, we are all not without sin !!!

We believe that the written negative about the guide - unfair - was written under one template, obviously those who did not like the remarks about being late, he never raised his voice to tourists, was tolerant and turned to us Lord, and in Italy - Signors.
