So. On the November holidays, we decided not to stay at home. but go somewhere. I caught sight of the tour- "Deep Russia" announced by the campaign "Travel Shop" from Moscow. We have already traveled with this company and we have a good opinion about their trips.

So a bus tour to the Novgorod and Tver regions for 3 days. Well, we went. What was promised to us by the tour program? Well, first of all, of course, a trip on a "tour class foreign car bus" (I think let them write what year this rydvan (extra class) is.

The first stop is a tour of the unique complex "Terem Birds of Happiness".


-". This is a fabulous wooden tower, under the high spacious vaults of which real treasures are hidden! In the museum part of the complex, you will get acquainted with the history of the “sovereign road and crafts of the cities and villages surrounding it. The history of the gold-embroidery industry of Torzhok is especially brightly and colorfully covered. Here, in the company store of the unique complex, you can buy products of Torzhok gold embroidery, Khokhloma painting, Gzhel ceramics, Klin Christmas decorations, and a great many masterpieces of folk crafts. The cozy territory of the beautiful complex "Birds of Happiness" is a well-groomed oasis of relaxation with gazebos, benches, fairy-tale figures, a decorative bridge and a real well with clear spring water. Here, in the Russian pancake complex, we will have a delicious lunch made from ecologically clean village products, and for dessert, delicious pancakes, which you won’t even try in Moscow! At the mini-market of agricultural products of a private farmstead, you can buy your favorite products, as well as forest gifts - mushrooms, berries, pickles.

--I must say right away that it can really be a fairy tale in the summer, but in late autumn, and even in the snow. wind and rain.... No dinner was and it was not bad. But even so, the usual "canteen" - that is, resembled food in an ordinary canteen of some enterprise or institution. The usual borscht in a pot, the second and tea bags with pancakes (or rather, with one pancake per tourist brother) That's it. Is it necessary to explain that there were no products on any mini-market in such weather? Well, the whole tower "Birds of happiness" is dedicated in principle to local craftswomen-gold embroiderers.

- Departure to Vyshny Volochok. Sightseeing tour of Vyshny Volochok.

--well, Vyshny Volochek, like many other provincial towns. Well, a tour in the same style. -showing former merchant buildings, schools and other attractions. check in temples where there are local miraculous icons. Regular sightseeing tour. True, once again I wonder why we treat souvenirs like that? there is a demand, but there are no souvenirs themselves. The only souvenir shop in the center that we were shown was closed. so no matter how many different Egypts, Turkeys and Thailands scolded, there is this for any choice. at every step like (sorry) dirt in autumn.

-- Departure to Valdai. Excursion to the Svyatoozersky Iversky Monastery for Men According to the procedures about which I will write below, we arrived at this wonderful place already dark. We examined the monastery, listened to information about it and Valdai. We went to one of the temples. .

--Departure to the city of Borovichi (70 km. ). Evening check-in and hotel accommodation

We left Valdai at 17:00 and arrived at the hotel in Borovichi at 22:00.

so there was no question of any bowling promised in the program, but a visit to the water park. located in this sports complex (OLYMP), the majority had no question as everyone was tired. .

Day 2 "Deep Russia is a country of caves and waterfalls. "


the last stage of this day was an excursion to the estate-museum of A. V. Suvorov. Many thanks to all the museum staff who conducted this tour for us and waited for us - because our bus was late again! And the museum-estate we again! looked at in the dark! True, upon arrival at the hotel, we went to the water park and enjoyed swimming with pleasure!

Day 3-Excursion around the city of Borovichi. Everything was like a tour of Vyshny Volochok - the same merchant houses, schools of tsarist times and other places of that era. It was true visiting the local museum, we liked the museum. Then the long road home was waiting for us.

now why is my story called "Life Risk Tour" if everything went well? As usual, at the end of any excursion, tourists are given questionnaires where they rate. We have supplied:

5-for the tour as a whole ONLY for the village and because of the guys who tried so hard on the second day on Msta. In general, I would advise the employees of the company to either write the truth or not embellish too much.

4-excursion to the water - no, from the point of view of professional activity, everything was fine - but even so you can’t go on about the tourists who violate the order (even if they are children)

2 for transport. The fact is that on the 2nd day of the tour, we found out why our bus is always late and travels so slowly because we saw that ALL RUBBER "BALD" in the literal sense, that is, worn out almost to the cord !! ! And on such a bus we drove 3 for in remote places along autumn roads! Moreover, it turns out shortly before that, another group REFUSED and in full force to go on an excursion with this driver on this bus! NEOPLAN company bus apparently from 1970-80s. The door is constantly stuck, the driver turns on the damper at the back for some reason and cold air rushes into the bus room. And on the 2nd day, when we returned from the village, it turned out that the driver closed the bus and left the line, where to drink tea! The conclusion of the form is apparently more important than money than our health and we were lucky with the weather, otherwise we would hardly have reached home at all! In general, I do not know how this car was able to pass inspection at all. Neoplan brand bus number-n434xm 177 region. The driver's name is Timur. private bus.


5 for placement. excellent sports complex. Ordinary room, but everything is fine. clean and comfortable. no complaints.

5-nutrition. no frills, but for us the most important thing is how it is cooked and not what. There are no pretensions.

In general, we decided not to go with this company anymore. especially since it turned out that they hire this bus and this driver all the time.

I have no complaints about Travel Store. Everything written above is my personal opinion.
