Was on the "Ideal Trio" tour from 04/27/2018 to 05/3/2018 (Krakow, Prague, Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, Budapest)
Was the trio perfect?
About impressions in order:
All countries and cities are beautiful. Worthy of a detailed and thoughtful visit. For me personally, Salzburg has become a favorite, with its miniature and delicate beauty.
Hotels are normal, considering that you only sleep in the hotel. Traditionally weak breakfast in Austria and a frankly bad hotel in Budapest (terrible sanitary facilities, but surprisingly pleasant breakfast). In general - acceptable.
If you expect 100% completion of the tour program - you are not here!
If you want a tour without night crossings, this is not the place for you!
If you want to enjoy the atmosphere of the cities calmly, this is not the place for you!
So: Departure from terminal A was delayed for 40 minutes. The flight was NOT announced. The reasons are not known, and what is essentially the difference. The leader of the group gathered tourists to the bus, personally calling everyone!
Before the border at the sanitary stop FORGOTTEN tourist! Surprising but true.
Crossing the border 7.5 hours.
In the tour program posted on the website, the first night is declared on the territory of Poland. No matter how! In the information sheet that you will receive on your hands on the day of departure - the first night is a late settlement in PRAGUE !!!! From Lviv to Prague 850 km, and this is at least 11 hours of travel. Add 7 hours at the border and you are provided with a NIGHT crossing! At the same time, the leader will insist that we do not get to Krakow, let's go further! We arrived in Prague at 06:30.
Conclusion 1. The managers of the Accord-tour knew perfectly well even before the departure that there would be no Krakow, and that there would be a night crossing! They saved money on us, we, excuse me, were simply scammed. Extremely NOT nice!
Prague is noisy, beautiful, eccentric! Guide on a sightseeing tour Igor - no! I didn’t even start on the Charles Bridge! I did not take additional excursions in Prague. I will not judge the quality, although I know that there were overlays in the organization.
Let's go to Munich! We are changing the bus! We are changing the hotel! The promised 4 * in Munich is changing to a transit hotel 50 km from Munich! Feel the difference!
The program announced 2 days in Munich (on the second day, an additional excursion to Salzburg). All wrong. Munich will be 1 day and departure to Salzburg (and before that another bus change!) If the tourist expected to spend 2 days in Munich, then alas, ah. Overview of Munich and the guide Eugene are not bad.
Salzburg and Salzkammergut are beautiful!! Decent sightseeing tour. But in time, everything is so tight that on this day it will be difficult for you to find time for a snack. Take a sandwich with you
Departure to Vienna. Another bus. The bus is out of order. The driver stops every 20 minutes and tops up the coolant. It's +27 outside, the stove works in the salon!!!
Vienna is majestic and beautiful. I liked the sightseeing tour, the guide did the same. I took an additional bus and walking tour "Majestic Vienna" (26€ / 21€). Don't waste money!
At 18:00 we leave for Budapest. The distance is 250 km and it is approximately 3 hours of travel. We are in a hurry, because almost the whole group wants an additional boat trip on the Danube. (scheduled for 22:00 hours). But the bus is broken! And despite the company's assurances that everything will be repaired, and we will be in time everywhere - naturally, we do not have time ANYWHERE! We overcome a distance of 250 km in 6.5 hours, and already closer to 00:30 we are accommodated in a hotel. Who is to blame?
In the morning, the next bus change and departure instead of breaded 08:00 at 09:30 (very pleasant crew, attentive drivers should be noted). Sightseeing walking tour of Budapest is worthy. But the time, as always, is 15 minutes for the toilet and the supermarket.
One can only dream of visiting Jaeger. We crossed the border in an hour! By 24:00 we were in Lviv!
I consider the lack of a selection of thematic films about the host country to be a big minus. The accompanying group Olga Efimets is a beautiful girl, but there is zero information about the peculiarities of the country!
My own conclusions and impressions about the trip. Travel makes us happy! If you are ready for the fact that everything that is stated in the program is only a third true - go ahead with the Accord Tour! If you are ready for the fact that you are only a tool for making money for the company - go ahead with Accord-tour! But if you are limited in budget, and you want to look into Europe with at least one eye, you will have to go with the Accord Tour!
Will I personally go again? I will strive!
