The route of travel is a disgrace

Never wrote a review. But after this tour, I decided to write, primarily to inform tourists like me.

The tour concept is great. The execution is disgusting.

Travel agency Voyage travel club (voyage-travel club). Arranged departure through Silver Tour

I am from unpretentious, modest and calm tourists. This trip is not the first.

The tour program (Wroclaw - Leipzig - Amsterdam - Zaanse Schans - Keukenhof - The Hague - Delft - Berlin) - I liked it very much and my family and I decided - I'm going!

The itinerary is a mess. This is a continuous, unreasonable burden, due to insanely long journeys to and from overnight stays.

So, from Amsterdam we go for the night for 2.5 hours. We got lost, a local resident got on the bus and showed the way to the hotel, which stands right on the autobahn.

The next day we drive back to Amsterdam for 2.5 hours (map -156 km) and from there to Keukenhof - The Hague - Delft.

Thus, instead of enjoying the beauties of Amsterdam, Keukenhof, The Hague, we ride for 5 hours, tired and wild from it.

The last day from Warsaw to Ukraine - off-road. 350 km along the road under construction. The average speed is 50 km/h. All the tourists went crazy from such a trip. Throughout the entire length there was not a single parking lot with a sanitary zone. We did not meet any tourist bus.

The drivers - Vasily and Anatoly (bus АА0557ТІ) - boors, with inadequate, defiant behavior. They were late for all morning scheduled trips, taking away our already little time for city tours. They don’t know the route, stops are made after the fact, anywhere. Even such a trifle as changing the driver is done after (before) a sanitary stop, and not during it, thus lengthening the travel time. They do not know how to talk, they immediately break into a scream.

All tourists (43 people) were deeply offended by this behavior of drivers.

During the excursions, local guides do not know how to get to the sights that are indicated in the excursion programs. “It’s dug up there, we won’t go there” - this is about the royal palace in The Hague (and maybe I paid 40 euros for an optional excursion just for the sake of it). In the Netherlands, we saw only one mud puddle (Delft) through which we were taken from the bus stop.

Due to the fact that stupid transfers ate a lot of time, there was very little time left for excursions. How do you like Berlin in 3 hours.

Often, our guide spurred on the "local" guides and shortened the inspection program, because you have to GO.

But the masterpiece of spitting is the way home.

The end of the case is a crown or Seven bends a mile away

Have you ever seen a line in the men's room? Only in the stadium? We got through it. On the way from Warsaw to the border REPAIR.

The narrow, temporarily adapted road meanders like a snake. And not only to the sides but also up and down. There are no specially equipped parking lots (none). We looked for about an hour where to stay, found the Orlen gas station, where there are already 2 booths - male and female for 31 women and 15 men (including a guide and drivers).

Now the distance from Berlin - through Warsaw is 895 km, 350 of which are off-road or 790 km, as it was necessary to go along the proven autobahn (driving on the first day) through Wroclaw, Krakow.

Another paradox is that from Warsaw there is a road (through Radom) to Rzheshov, two-lane in each direction and, of course, leading us to the autobahn earlier. The answer, probably, is that via Lublin it is free (I think that everyone would pay an extra 10 euros to travel comfortably and quickly).

In general, the managers of the company who create such routes, or - a banal, primitive income at the level of a petty thief, have high professionalism. In addition, what is most offensive, according to rough estimates, we drove extra, not at all obligatory 600-650 km. This is 8 hours during which you could enjoy the beauties of beautiful European cities.

In fairness, I would like to note our guide Lyudmila, who smoothed out all the aggravations as much as possible, told a lot of interesting things along the way.
