Madhouse!

We left Kyiv in a great mood, upon arrival in Lviv they put us on the Accord bus and sent us to terminal A. On the way to the terminal, they entertained us with conversations about how wonderful it is and what can and should be done there, reminded us several times about replenishing the account from 100 UAH ( and this was the first bell, but we didn’t bother with the euphoria of the trip). We arrived at Terminal A at 8.00, on the second and first floors, preparations were underway for a wedding or some other holiday. drank coffee, went to the sanitary room several times, got on the bus and left the terminal with a delay of 15 minutes. Hooray!

The road from Lviv to the border went well with one stop at a gas station, where another Akkorda bus overtook us, and our guide said that this is bad, we will wait at the border!

So funny, the standard thinking of the border guards - all non-standard bags in color and shape were checked and safely sent to duty free. before we had time to drive away from the border, the tourists around me began to suspect that we were lost and then our bus broke down !! waited 2 or 3 hours until the Hungarian bus was sent. As a bonus, they gave the whole bus a free tour to Tokaj with wine tasting and delicious goulash)) We arrived in Budapest very late.

The next day was a buffet and it was here that the best buffet of the entire trip was. Standard tour, what can I say? You can safely refuse all standard free tours in all cities where you will call! I liked the boat trip.

Innsbrug is a misunderstanding of the tour or a non-professional guide I don't know. No one was offered to go up the mountain (yes, it was foggy, but I, as a traveler, should have a choice), a walking tour and about an hour of free time and that’s it, goodbye Austria. After Innsbruck, the mood fell, many of my neighbors did not understand why we went there (((.

Bern-struck, very beautiful city center, but the same problem - we stopped in this city for 2 hours!!

Lyon, such a guide as Xenia, you still need to look, smoothed out all the sharp corners, educated, interesting and loving this city !! for 2 hours?!! this is a real nightmare!!

The city of Montpellier overnight, but in fact we didn’t get to the sea, we stopped on the outskirts of some town, rooms for truck drivers, a smoky room, but there is a stove and a coffee maker, a minimum of furniture. In the morning there was an unpleasant situation, the whole group went into the room for breakfast, the ubiquitous (their darkness is everywhere in Europe) Chinese ate there. they began to take apples and an omelet, and then a girl runs out of the back room and said that our hall is next. Lucky for those who managed to take hot, the whole group in our room ate dry food, fresh fruit 0!! cheese 0!! etc. I felt like we were second class people.

Figueres and the Dali Museum - a shortened excursion, after the words of the guide: "we all don't have time, walk around yourself", it began to reach the majority of tourists that everything was not for tourists, but in order to complete the program! It's a shame, to be honest.

Barça, she is my now forever beloved Barcelona.

I want to write people! Everyone who travels with this company. Take a kettle with you!! not all hotel rooms have a kettle, half had no refrigerator!

If the guide tells you to go soon, you will have time to sphorograph - this is nonsense! We never returned to the places where we were!! We were in Barcelona for 2 days, we lived 20 km from Barca, it’s not very convenient, the bus from the city center leaves at 7 pm, and the departure is the next day. We found a way out, walked until 22, arrived on the train 10 stops from the center - 30 minutes and 1.5 km on foot. Not every tourist is ready for such an extreme in a foreign country and minimal English))

The guide's promises to stop in beautiful places probably meant cities and sanitary stops, and not views of insanely beautiful mountains and vineyards, castles and lakes!

In Nice, we lived with windows on the railway road and overpass)) I liked the Principality of Monaco, but an incomprehensible stop at a perfume factory. Why go there if we were taken to the store, and not told about how? ,what? and why?. very strange, they urged us all the time, and then 1.5 hours of the Accord company of our time is not a pity.

Overnight stay in Padua, it says Padua on the tour, but we spent the night 1 km from the sign for the beginning of the city of Padua)) It was the dirtiest and coldest hotel, the lights were dim, there was no internet even for money, there was no water !! beds creaked on all floors, many had cots. insects in the rooms, but cockroaches, bugs are different, there is such a fungus in the soul that the "Auditor" would be in shock-shock!! The breakfast room is not designed for 26 people!

Venice, thank God, at least the photos came out good! I have never seen such an influx of people and a toilet for 1.5 euros! Many in cafes know Russian, but the ice cream seller, in my poor English, said that he did not know Russian and Japanese, he was so angry))

We spent the night in Budapest, moving 500 km, we drove through Slovenia without stopping!

1. Accord tour company, not for tourists, but tourists for it!

2. Guide, you need to be more cheerful! To listen to the tourists, not one desire, not a single tourist on the departure from the tour program was heard by our Natasha Starenkaya.

3. The quality of the overnight stays, you need to check the Accord.

4. Increase the time spent in the cities of Venice, Lyon, Bern, Budapest, etc.

5. Prepare yourself where you want to go in the cities where the bus stops.

I don't recommend the Lucky Sombrero here. General impression - DURDOM
