点评:So, if you’re like us and coming from out of town, my main recommendation is that you do not want to bank on Uber/Lyft getting you out here in time to make the VERY STRICT tour times. My expected ETA to get out here when I first started trying to book a car was 15 mins earlier than our reserved tour time. Drivers then refused to take our trip for 20 minutes, I assume because they didn’t want to drive out of town.
So, long story short, we arrived at 4:02 for our 4 pm tour time, and saw the last bus of the day pulling out of the lot right as we arrived. We talked to multiple employees in the parking lot, explaining that we would take just getting a trip to the tasting room and gift shop, and getting told that the only way to do this was to have made it in time for our tour bus.
Interesting thing here is that everyone we talked to seemed to want to help, but also seemed terrified of their higher ups finding out that they helped people catch up to the tour if they didn’t arrive on time — and it sounds like our situation is a common one.
So, if you’re the next person who gets screwed over by the Coors brewery on this tour, here’s my advice — go drown your sorrows at Golden City Brewery just down the road. The beer is way better, anyways.
翻译:所以,如果你和我们一样从外地过来,我的主要建议是,不要指望Uber/Lyft能让你及时到达,赶上非常严格的游览时间。我一开始尝试预订汽车时,预计的到达时间比我们预订的游览时间早了15分钟。之后司机拒绝载我们20分钟,我猜是因为他们不想开车出城。
长话短说,我们4点02分到达,而游览时间是下午4点,刚到就看到当天的末班车开出了停车场。我们和停车场的多名工作人员沟通,解释说我们只想去品酒室和礼品店转一圈,但他们告诉我们,唯一的办法就是赶上我们的旅游巴士。
有趣的是,我们采访的每个人似乎都想帮忙,但又似乎担心上级发现他们帮了那些没按时到场的人,让他们赶上行程——听起来我们的情况很常见。
所以,如果你是下一个在这次旅行中被库尔斯啤酒厂坑的人,我的建议是——去路边的金城啤酒厂(Golden City Brewery)消消愁吧。反正那里的啤酒也好喝多了。
