unprofessional, disorganized, disregard for tourists

19.06. TEMPLE WHITE LOTUS AND CHERKASY

Accompanying Alla

The impression of the tour is extremely negative. Nobody expected such disorganization and negligence

The driver for the first time on the route does not know the way. Sanitary stops are not scheduled. Did "impromptu" at the request.

Escort for the first time on the route. Knows nothing. Not prepared. The most common answer to our questions is "I don't know"

On the way we were "entertained" with quotes from Wikipedia about Cherkasy, Smela, Obukhov, Kaharlyk. Telling "fascinating" facts - the area of ​​\u200b\u200bsettlements, administrative purpose, population, list of museums, and even with addresses! This despite the fact that out of 4 settlements we visited only one. About which we were not told anything interesting.

The first one is the monastery. About which we were told just a few words. On the territory, we asked Alla where is the source in which to draw water. The answer was "I don't know". And she remained standing still and not even trying to find out something. We ourselves ran around asking people

The next item is White Lotus. The tour was twice as short as planned.

Then lunch. They brought us to the mall and said there was a cafe there. We walked 3 floors and did not find. Our escort was not. There was no driver. I had to ask the locals, and we found out that the cafe was on the street, we had to leave the mall altogether, go around it and go up to the second floor. And there we already met our Alla, who decided to call people and tell where the cafe is. When asked how much time for lunch and where we meet, she answered “eat and go out.”

We sat on the street for 40 minutes waiting for the guide, as we arrived earlier and, accordingly, it was not there yet. we had extra time after the previous defective excursion and we were not warned how much time we had. We could spend this time interestingly, but sat in anticipation - "here we begin"

"Sightseeing tour". In the description of the tour, “we will walk around the central part of the city and get acquainted with the most interesting objects: St. Michael's Cathedral; Cathedral Park and Cathedral Square; Boulevard Shevchenko; House of Shcherbina, where the city wedding palace operates; The "blue" fairytale palace, which has already become the hallmark of Cherkasy, and many more interesting things!

As a result, we stood near Shcherbina's house for 5 minutes, 10 minutes in the Khmelnitsky park and rode the bus for an hour. Riding the bus around the city is not a sightseeing tour. Don't fool people.

Boat trip. When people asked the escort for details about the walk, in order to understand whether to buy it or not, the answer was very informative “float on the water and look at the city.” It turned out that the trip was not on a boat, but on a river tram, which is not at all the same thing. And there is absolutely nothing to look at, since there are ordinary new buildings along the coast

After the "motor ship" we had time before departure, and we were offered to walk around the center and see what we never saw, the same blue palace, for example. And we went, but for some reason not to the center, but to the "valley" of roses. Where they looked at a couple of clubs and forged figures. But we didn't see the center.

On the way back, we again forgot about the sanitary zones. They said in an hour and a half we will stop at a gas station and for 2.5 hours we just drove to Kyiv without stopping

Total. Not a single item from the program was carried out as expected. Very sad
