    2024-09-02
  • The worst experience I’ve ever had. No accomodation close to the visiting points, sure because they pay less. You have to drive at least 45’ not having time to have breakfast in the morning; you have to leave before the breakfast time. Some attractions not experienced due to false excuses (like “closed after the pandemia”). No reason for the higher price paid for any attraction than to have been driven to the visiting point (75$ per person on the Maid of mist compared to the ticket price that is 28$ per person). Four days eating junk food in Chinese restaurants or McDonals in service areas on the highway when we could have had greater meals in the cities at the same price. The guide is much more interested in collecting money. This trip is for Chinese people only! International STAY AWAY FROM IT!!! ITALIAN: se vi siete imbattuti in questo tour dal prezzo accattivante, non lasciatevi abbindolare. A conti fatti alla fine costa molto più di qualche tour un po’ più serio; considerate all’incirca 1700$ per tre persone; questo è il prezzo da me sostenuto. Vi consiglio di perdere un po’ di tempo cercando altro. Se volete risparmiare affittate un auto e prenotate gli hotel che meglio preferite!
