Tour to Switzerland to a French village

Tour "Sir and chocolate".

The journey to Switzerland is not without its richness. Locations: Krakiv, Salzburg, Colmar, Prague, Liechtenstein. And obviously my world is Zurich, Geneva, Bern, Interlakten. It’s no secret that the most expensive excursions are always organized, and the cheap and high-priced groups never give up. In my opinion, the place is Lucerne, which attracts 5 million tourists soon, but our group “didn’t want to.” Due to optional excursions, there is practically no free time on the road, and you need to spend more than an hour on the road. Daycare, excursions to Salzburg and Zurich lasted for a long time, and there was no time left for the toilet. There was no time to eat, and food on the bus was blocked.

The fragments were transferred to a Swiss hotel on the road, 2 nights were transferred to a settlement in France that was not found on Google maps.

According to the program of the tour, on the fourth day, 3 optional excursions were transferred, and also: to Geneva, “Swiss River” and “Alpine Peaks”. I know that optional excursions are possible with a minimum of 20 or more people. Also, the group’s leader informed us that there will be 2 excursions – to Geneva and Mont Blanc. And for this excursion I collected money. I never went to Mont Blanc, so I spent 25 euros on an excursion in Geneva.

Prote, when arriving at the hotel for the night in France at about 23.00, the group gave less than 25 euros and informed me that since I alone in the group do not go to Mont Blanc, I am instead of Switzerland as a whole In Geneva, I really want to spend the day in a God-forsaken little town on territory of France, so the whole group is off to Mont Blanc, and then to Geneva. No one will take me to Geneva. An excursion to Mont Blanc along with the entrance ticket costs 130 euros.

True, as an alternative, I was advised to arrive in Geneva itself.

The journey to Geneva from a remote French town (village) involved a bus transfer and cost less than 18 euros (2 euro bus and 16 euro ticket for the pull to Geneva). I also want to note that only with the help of the French and my gestures, I was able to buy a ticket and sit down at the required station. On my request to take me to the station and help me buy a ticket for lifting the kerivnik of the group, Maryana categorically encouraged me (I wanted it to be on the road to Mont Blanc). A note about the fact that I won’t go by bus, I was booked 10 minutes before disembarking at the hotel, and I couldn’t take the things I needed from the bus: a power bank, a cosmetic bag, etc. In addition, the group’s manager didn’t give a damn until I was able to get to Geneva, but only called at 17.00 and said that I wanted to take a tour in Geneva, I would pay 15 euros.

That’s 18 euros for the journey without stress and 15 euros for the excursion (total 33 euros), although the entire optional excursion to Geneva costs 25 euros. In addition, during the program of the tour, the cost of headphones is paid 2 euros on the day of the bath, and on the fourth day I did not use headphones, since the travel agency services were provided to me (except for getting to the hotel).

If I hadn’t dared to get to Geneva on my own, I would have been afraid of spending a whole day in a village in France.

In addition to food, not only for Adriatic travel, this is the name of the city-tax payment, for which you collect pennies for the start of a tour for all nights at hotels. However, taxes are not paid in all hotels, cities, and countries, so why not travel agencies?
