Went on tour "One river - one story ..." 27.11.13 - 02.12.13
The tour is good and with proper implementation of the entire program will allow you to fully enjoy the holiday. However, in the tour I went on, there were some disadvantages that spoiled the holiday. The first and biggest drawback is the bus. The seats in the cabin were shifted so that you could deliver another row of seats at the end and thus increase passenger capacity. As a result, the distance between the seats was such that the knees had nowhere to go. There was no question of lowering the chairs for normal sleep, because it was possible to crush the person sitting behind (((This is a tour with two night crossings, so there is no need to talk about any comfort)) (((Other shortcomings were related to the poor organization of the group leader at certain moments, although in general the work of Taras Shvets was at a sufficient level.
So I will describe the tour every day so that future tourists know what to be ready for.
The time of departure for the tour is 20.00 from Lviv Central Station, and the time of collection and boarding (it was indicated in the info sheet) is 19.30, "SK1" must be indicated on our bus. The landing started with a delay of 15 minutes. The sign on the bus was also hung late, it is good that there was only one in the parking lot, otherwise we would have to run and look for the right bus. It was 4 degrees below zero outside and some of them froze for an hour. The delay was due to the fact that Taras could not put up the seat numbers, the cabin was double numbered, where it was unclear where to sit, in addition, people traveling together for some reason were seated at different ends of the bus. Finding out whose place took many hours and was an unpleasant moment. When we went to Uzhgorod, we made one stop in the Carpathians for toilets and late dinner). A new surprise awaited us in Uzhgorod.
it turned out that many people took their seats because the numbering was shifted. Many tourists had to change, by the way - more than 50 people went on tour. The borders passed quite quickly and without problems.
We arrived in Budapest at about 9 o'clock, before that we had a stop at the gas station. Guide Anatoly met us and began a sightseeing tour of the city, which lasted about three hours. additional excursion to Szentendre, and all the others had free time, it can be used to visit the baths of Szechenyi or go to Szentendre on your own on the suburban train HEV))) It will be much cheaper and you can get acquainted with the Hungarian transport system. I recommend everyone to visit this wonderful town, you will not regret it.
In the morning we had a good breakfast and drive to Vienna, which is located 80 km from Bratislava. I did not visit the sightseeing tour, as I have been to this city many times, but I advise all future tourists to go there. There are many opportunities to spend a free hour in Vienna, so it is a pity that we left the Austrian capital at 18.00. I think we could spend two more years here. We spent the night in the same hotel CHOPIN.
In the morning sightseeing tour of Bratislava with a good guide Mirian, a little free time, and then transfer to the town of Boynitsa, where we arrived at dusk. The castle is extraordinary, I recommend everyone to visit, and in the town there are many cozy cafes and restaurants where you can eat delicious Slovak cuisine. After the loophole - moving and settling in the SATEL hotel in Poprad. The hotel is a little worse than the previous one, but quite good. In general, we spent most of the day on the road.
Free day in Poprad. You can visit the local water park, go to Strbske pleso, and in the evening to the elective "Tatra gatherings". mountain tram During the ascent from Poprad to Strbsko Pleso you will admire the unreal landscapes of the mountains. One-way ticket costs about 2 euros. , which again passed without incident, in the morning, according to the schedule, were in Lviv.
For very little money I visited three European capitals and a ski resort, so I was satisfied. But I recommend to hand over the bus in scrap metal or to show by its example what tourist buses should not be.
