Tour only for active and organized thrill-seekers

My friends went twice and were satisfied. Online reviews are the worst. I could not understand why this company is still afloat with such a reputation. I trusted the opinion of friends, crossed myself and went.

I bought the tour "And I'm in Paris! + Disneyland!", https://www.accordtour.com/tours/611/vse_avtobusnyye_tury/frantsiya from March 11 to March 17, 2019. Highlighted the main theses.

Disadvantages:

- the trip can be canceled or transferred to another tour, I was lucky, but people who survived this experience were traveling with us. Experienced tourists were advised to keep track of the number of tours that day. (For example, with our tour to Paris, three tours were supposed to go at once. Everyone was transferred to the most popular one.);

- you live on the bus, you will have to put up with the fact that meals, going to the toilet - on command, will sleep at home or in a hotel. You need to put up with the people around you and their behavior.

- Tours can be canceled and rescheduled.

- you will be forced to buy all excursions, often they are meaningless and overpaid. In Budapest there was an excursion to the Tropicary, people paid for the fare, but they could not get there - a long line. Half a day in Budapest we walked around the supermarket. I went to the thermal baths on my own and did not regret it.

- You need to walk a lot, even run. Walking around the city and admiring the views will not work

Analysis of negative reviews from the Internet:

- "Terrible hotels and breakfasts!" - normal hotels, clean and comfortable, have everything you need, polite staff, varied breakfasts hearty. If a 5-star restaurant is the norm for you - do not buy a ticket to the tour! Your whining will be annoying all the way

- "Terrible organization! Bad guides" - the guide is not required to be your nanny and lead by the hand throughout the city. You will be given a map, navigate yourself, plan a program for your free time in advance. And the problems with time are in the people themselves, who are constantly late for the meeting point and drink coffee for half an hour. Therefore, the time for excursions is reduced.

- "They promised one time! But it turned out to be different!" - the bus gets into traffic jams, they can be delayed at the border. All this affects the trip.

Positive sides:

- There is no better option in Ukraine than the Accord. Other firms are more expensive and have fewer tours on the menu. For our neighbors, such tours cost twice as much. Traveling alone is more expensive.

- an unrealistic number of chic and unique places. They take you, rent hotels, advise the program, offer excursions. It is obvious that people tried when they created this system

People! if you are not ready for extreme sports, have never gone to the mountains, do not know how to adapt to other people, do not know English, do not know how to navigate the terrain and WANT TO RELAX - do not buy such a tour! You will be indignant and spoil the mood of other tourists.
