Travel agency: Алголь Туроператор (Lviv) Service type: экскурсионный тур |
Initially, I chose another tour for my first trip to Europe, but the group didn’t get enough for it and they offered me a “European Shake” instead. And, as it turned out, for a novice tourist, this is what you need.
There are 4 countries, 4 cities in the list. Plus a gift from Algol - travel through the night Budapest. One day for each. This is enough for the tourist to decide where he wants to return next time.
The trip was well organized. The group was quickly assembled, the drivers helped to load things. The bus departed at the scheduled time. I think that I was very lucky with the leader of the group. Nastya is an excellent organizer, responsible, cheerful and sympathetic person. I thank her for her patience, for a comfortable and pleasant stay.
The bus is clean, the drivers are calm, polite, although a little gloomy, or maybe just very restrained, not reckless, perfectly oriented in the area. However, what else is needed?
Hotels. The hotel in Krakow was not very good. Shower drain clogged, sheets and towels tattered. But it has a delicious breakfast. A transit hotel in Poland is just a fairy tale, a real castle, with a pleasant atmosphere, well-groomed territory, luxurious rooms. The hotel in Prague is a huge complex. Basically clean. Breakfast is not so hot, coffee is disgusting. But personally, such trifles did not really bother me, I spent little time in the room, and I could eat normally in any restaurant in the city where we were. Try the national dishes too.
Tour guides. In Krakow, there was an incomprehensible guide Irena, she spoke coldly, even hostilely, she wanted to finish the tour faster. In Dresden and Prague there were excellent guides Irina and Andrey. With a sense of humor, they showed us the cities with a sense of humor, told us not only dry historical facts, but also many legends and retellings. In Vienna, a guide with an extensive stock of knowledge, but they were served rather boringly.
The only, but very small minus of the tour is the night crossing. He gave it pretty hard. But the next day on the train I slept like a ferret)))
In general, I wholeheartedly recommend the Algol company and the European Shake tour to anyone who wants to relax in a fun and comfortable way. Prices please the wallet, it is quite affordable.
Guys, a lot depends on your mood and mood. Smile, be positive, take everything as an adventure. Believe me, and the hotels will become cleaner, and the drivers will smile, even the clouds will disperse. So it was with us.
