The best vacation - a bus tour of Europe!
My message is intended for those tourists who love exciting and meaningful sightseeing trips. I would like to share my impressions about the trip to the tour “Salut, Europe! » Long, which I visited from June 27 to July 16.2009. Enough time has passed since then, but the impressions from the trip remained for a lifetime.
As the theater begins with a hanger, so the bus tour begins with boarding the bus. Upon arrival in Uzhgorod, a comfortable bus "Bova" was already waiting for us, which became a motor home for almost three weeks. Our drivers Laszlo and Tibor were always on top - punctual, the bus was in perfect condition, no matter how hot the weather was, the bus was always served with air conditioning on, the drivers would not drive until they helped tourists unload and load luggage. Now I want to talk about our group. We chose the name "Fortune" and it did not let us down.
Tourists from different cities, different age categories and different social status traveled in the group. Nevertheless, nothing prevented us from finding a common language, not forgetting about mutual understanding and respect for each other, from becoming separate individuals as a whole. Luck accompanied the whole trip, not in vain the Fortuna group! The Ukrainian-Slovak border was generally passed quickly, which happens by no means often. And this gave us the opportunity, as a bonus, to get an absolutely wonderful evening walk around Budapest, a beautiful city on the Danube. And the route of the trip itself and its content can be called a real gift, which we received thanks to the Inkomartur company and our guide Ivlev Yuri. The success of this travel agency is that they love tourists, and not just work with them! Therefore, about half of the group has already made far from the first trip with this campaign. I, for example,
I went with them already on my third trip, previously there were "Balkan Blues" and an absolutely amazing and beautiful trip to the "Northern Saga" tour with Ilya Mezhul. For almost three weeks, Yura Ivlev was not only a guide for us, but a real leader of our group, its energy center, a person who perfectly organized the tour, I am grateful to him for the most interesting excursions, a great sense of humor and wonderful communication, for being very fond of his work, treats tourists well, can rally together completely different people who went on tour! So I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for a job well done! For some reason, lately people have begun to pay more attention to trifles, to arrange squabbles out of the blue and see flaws, and less and less to remember the good and forget to thank those who can make a real holiday for other people with their work!
Even if we had rather long journeys from the vicinity of Salzburg to Baden-Baden, from Paris to Tossa de Mar, and then from Venice to Ukraine, thanks to the guide, they passed in such a way that the time always flowed interestingly and completely unnoticed! I don’t want to dwell on the excursion program, it is perfectly set out along with additional excursions on the travel agency’s website. Each city visited on the tour is beautiful in its own way and deserves special attention - Budapest, Vienna, Baden-Baden, Strasbourg, Paris, Barcelona, Verona, Milan, Venice. In addition to the program, thanks to our organization and our guide, our group received as a gift a walk in the vicinity of Lake Monsee in the Austrian Alps, we were the first of the Ukrainian groups to get to the absolutely amazing Kö nigssee lake already in the vicinity of Bavaria, visited Reims, where almost all the kings of France were crowned and in this beautiful city
which is the center of the Champagne province, were able to get acquainted with the history of production and varieties of existing champagnes, and an excursion to the museum of the cosmetic factory "Galimar" near the city of Oz. I also remember spending the night in a very cozy family hotel Leonarderhof in the Alps near Salzburg, where in the morning we could admire the stunning Alpine landscapes. At the request of our tourists, Yura and our travel agency made changes to the program, thanks to which we visited the Cote d'Azur and the Principality of Monaco! I can't imagine how, at the height of the season, we managed to book a hotel in Nice, and not for 2-3 people, but for the whole group! The highlight of this tour was, in addition to a rich and amazingly interesting excursion program, a week-long vacation on the Costa Brava in Catalonia. Very cozy hotel "Costa Brava", warm and clean Mediterranean Sea, beautiful small town of Tossa de Mar,
in which the old fortress has been preserved, the warm and friendly attitude of both the staff at the hotel and the residents of the city towards tourists gave their charm to the rest at sea. In addition to the rest, there was a wonderful excursion to Barcelona, viewing the masterpieces of Antonio Gaudi (Sagrada Familia Cathedral, Park Gü ell, houses designed by him in the center of Barcelona), culminating in a show of singing fountains. On this trip, we also met the guide Ilya Raspopov, who gave us wonderful excursions along the Costa Brava, to Figueres, the theater-museum of Salvador Dali and Girona, a trip to the jousting tournament and flamenco. With all my heart I envy the tourists who will go on the tour “Salut, Europe! in the next tourist season! ". You will get unforgettable impressions for the rest of your life! The most important thing in a sightseeing tour is to be inquisitive and inquisitive, not to find fault with trifles and respect those people who are close to you,
and then every trip will be unique! Especially if you turn to real professionals for help in organizing a vacation, to the Incomartur company, in the catalog of which you look and think: “God, well, I want to go everywhere with them! ". As the Chinese proverb says, a person cannot be taken back what he ate and what he looked at. So maybe we should eat wisely in order to eventually see more?
