Not Enchanting Holiday

03.05 flew to Kyiv after a "rest" with Fairy, namely air tour - European fireworks. We traveled in four, two couples who traveled half the world, from Finland, Japan and China to the most exotic islands, not for the first time in Paris, in Amsterdam as well. This is to make it clear that there is something to compare. We chose an air tour, and in Amsterdam we joined the main group traveling by bus. I’ll tell you right away about the Mercedes bus, it was from Poland, the drivers Rafael and Peter are professionals, but this didn’t brighten up the overall impression, the bus was just dead, the seats failed, as you understand, there was no talk of a toilet and a coffee maker at all, it’s good that they didn’t break off in the middle of the road , and that's good !!! for the night of their "enchanting" tourists, the agency settled on the edge (I don't want to be rude and call them what these places deserve!) of geography. For example, four days in Amsterdam is not entirely true, because. we lived so far from the city that it was not realistic to get to the city, there is no direct communication! And when we had a free evening, the accompanying Elena Bratchenko collected 5 euros from tourists so that our bus would take us to the place of lodging for the night! Regarding the "museum cards" don't be such fools as we are, don't buy them, 55 euros for two days in 60 museums is a beautiful scam! You will have time to visit Versailles on the first day - the entrance is 15 euros, and maybe like us a couple of small expositions for 7-9 euros, everywhere they let you in until 16-16. 30, and do not forget that you will not live in Paris, but in order to SUPER save money in railway. geography! until you get to Versailles. . . The next day, the Louvre, which will also take up most of the day (moreover, they are not allowed into the gardens with a museum card, and you need to buy a regular ticket) as it turned out, you can’t go without a queue with a museum card either (although Elena told us the opposite when she pushed these cards) but we for some reason it wasn't surprising. 27. 04 we had a move from Amsterdam to Paris, we left early, drove more than 12 hours, we decided to arrange a walk along the Seine without stopping at the hotel, and a tour of the night city, only the indignation of tourists (with reference to the violation of the program according to which we were supposed to first to settle in a hotel, and there were children in the group!) and threats to complain about Fairy, had an effect and after 16 hours on the way we were taken to the hotel. The hotel, again, is not in Paris, ** the stars of Au Firmament, most of all I remember that it made the whole group akin. Remember in the movie "12 chairs" a hostel with cardboard partitions? If someone was talking in his room - he heard the whole hotel, if the water in the toilet was draining, everyone knew that you were all right, who returned at what time, what they did, everything is known. On a free day, everyone who went to Paris successfully got lost, because our accompanying Elena Bratchenko could not clearly explain how to get to the hotel and what transport, confused the metro with the PEP (something like commuter trains). In general, after there was nothing to collect from us, we completely ceased to interest her, and the tourists began to say, if you want to get confused, ask Lena! But the guides in Holland, Paula and Lena (I don’t know the last name, unfortunately, from St. Petersburg) are beyond praise, I remember them, they liked them and simply delighted me with their professionalism! In distinguish from Valya in Paris, except for the pathos and pretense from which they did not see or learn anything! In general, an enchanting trip with mixed impressions!!!
