点评:Following attempts to make on-line bookings with a group tour company (which starts with Ru), that turned out to be an extremely unwelcoming agent to deal with (despite their advertising to the contrary) upon arrival, being quite abrasive in her general manner, citing a dislike for dealing with last minute bookings, and stating that there would be a requirement to pay an increased price difference to accommodate for tours that had a minimum number of attendance requirements. She did, however, become far more pleasant when we decided not to proceed with making any bookings with her company.
Alternatively, we headed for the Red Shed Visitor Information Centre where we were very warmly welcomed by Di.
After sharing our experiences with the acerbic tour operator, Di shared with us a number of alternative options available, to enable us to see and experience what we had initially wished for.
Through her valuable assistance, she arranged for us to be able to go over to Ulva Island, on a day the other tour operator said was not possible due to rough seas, and at a substantially reduced cost than what it would have cost us through the other tour operator and had an exceptionally fantastic time. Was also able to go Kiwi Spotting, at no extra cost, despite the alternative company (Beaks & Feathers) being willing to accommodate just two people.
The Red Shed Visitor Information Centre was also well stocked with souvenir items, containing something for everyone. Exceptional.
翻译:我们尝试在线预订一家团体旅游公司(公司名称以Ru开头),但抵达后发现,这家旅行社的服务人员态度极其恶劣(尽管他们的广告宣传语是“热情好客”)。她态度粗鲁,不喜欢处理最后一刻的预订,并表示如果行程有最低人数要求,需要支付更高的差价。不过,当我们决定不再预订这家公司时,她的态度变得友善多了。
我们决定前往红棚游客信息中心,在那里受到了Di的热情接待。
在与这位尖刻的旅行社工作人员分享了我们的体验后,Di向我们推荐了一些其他选择,让我们能够看到和体验最初想要体验的景点。
在她宝贵的帮助下,我们得以前往乌尔瓦岛(Ulva Island),而另一家旅行社表示由于海况恶劣,无法成行。而且,我们这次的行程比通过其他旅行社预订的价格要低得多,玩得非常愉快。我们还免费参加了奇异鸟观赏活动,尽管另一家旅行社(Beaks & Feathers)只愿意接待两人。
红棚游客信息中心(Red Shed Visitor Information Centre)的纪念品种类丰富,总有一款适合您。真是太棒了。
