Travel agency: Сакумс (Kyiv) Service type: экскурсионный тур |
The organization of the maintenance tour is beyond praise, everything is debugged to the smallest detail: stops, accommodation in hotels, electives, departure, sanitation, snacks, etc.
Hotels. Transit - very good, except for a hotel in Sofia - this is not 4 *, but 2 * at best, but for 1 night it is not critical.
As for the hotel in Greece - very good, family-type hotel, friendly host, the rooms are small but clean, there is a small balcony, a swimming pool. For more information about hotels, see TOP Hotels.
Nutrition. You can’t call breakfasts continental - the tables were not bursting with dishes, but it was impossible to leave hungry. Very good.
I had breakfast twice at the hotel at the place of our deployment - well, without frills. In Paralia, you can eat every 2-3 meters in a tavern, coffee shop, etc. Near supermarkets, mini shops, etc. with fruits and food, portions in taverns are huge. I recommend Thalassa - behind the port, near the Grandhotel.
Electives. I traveled with another agency (the prices are more democratic, on the recommendation of Russian tourists who were already resting there at the time of arrival. I can’t comment on the content, guides, saturation of the program from Sakums. Katya replied to the content of each elective: I will get all the information from the accompanying guide) I realized it by 150% - I looked at everything I wanted and even more.
Team leader. Literally before the departure of the group, they changed it - force majeure - Bogdana fell ill, I went with Victoria Chernaya. The guide was accidental, tired (according to the words, the current returned from 3-4 tours and simply saves Sakums and us, tourists, from not leaving and canceling our visas and trips), she didn’t know anything about Greece and other transit countries, so she was silent all the way - no even general information - is it her fault in this ?! As an organizer, Sakums realized the tour developed by Sakums, she’s just a good girl, everything is clear, we didn’t have any organizational problems, departures, breakfasts, departure, schedule of electives, etc. Friendly, smiling, sympathetic, and just a very beautiful girl :)
Bus. This was a test for me (the first time on a bus). It's hard. My place was in the row that is on the right, where the doors are. The distance between the seats is 20 cm (in the row on the left - 40-50 cm, you can even throw a leg over the leg). With my height of 158 cm, my knees practically rested on the seats in front. The tourist, who was driving in front, rode all the time with the seat unfolded, or sometimes lowered it unexpectedly - by the time I arrived in Greece, I had a hematoma 3-4 by 8-10 cm in size on my right knee. I was driving back in a neighboring place, since it was free, the hematoma has already disappeared, and I am treating my knee in physiotherapy - it hurts, it does not bend well. There was a TV in the bus, but it didn’t work, there was no music either (I didn’t take anything with me - my mistake, but I was going to listen to the stories of the accompanying guide, not music, Strange air conditioning system in the bus - after sludge or just stopping in it you go into a sauna - and then the fans just work. When I went on excursions in Greece, the bus also stood waiting for the group, but it was cool in it, there was a sensor indicating the temperature in the cabin. Somewhat strange. I think that the model of the bus is still a bit old - THAT - think about it!
I didn’t fit in a couple of words) - questions - write in a personal.
Greece is a fabulous country, and I will return there many times, but only by plane!
However, despite the small problems, the tour is very colorful, varied, a lot of impressions - the very best! Thanks to everyone who developed it, debugged it, filled it! Anyone who can travel a long time on the bus - I RECOMMEND
