点评:We were extremely happy with our trip with Discover Churchill. Pre-trip communication was clear and when I asked questions they were promptly answered. There were a total of 15 people in the tour and we were split up into three vans and three bed and breakfasts. Vans were easily large enough even with us being in the one that had 6 guests. The six of us were in a house together as well, with two full baths and there was never an issue. Gord owns and runs it (his wife runs another and one of the guides the other) and he was great. His breakfasts were special including bacon, homemade syrup, homemade bread, homemade vanilla sauce and jams, all to complement the omelets, waffles, eggs Benedict, and the incredible French toast. One of the nights he and his wife also prepared a huge home-cooked meal for the entire group. Other dinners were at local restaurants and we had not expected the food to be so good. Lunches were sandwiches and fruit in the field which worked perfectly. They accommodated a couple guests with food restrictions with no problem. Of course what makes or breaks a trip to Churchill are the guides. Discover Churchill has the best. We clearly saw that other tour operators followed where we were going. Dave, Dave and Thomas have incredible knowledge of the bears and and after seeing one in the distance (which none of us could see) could anticipate where the best place to be in order for the bear to go right in front of us. But more than that, they are photographers so they also take into account the lighting and sight lines. The owners, Alex and Drew were excellent as well - meeting us at the airport, explaining logistics, and staying with us until flight left on our last day. They were also monitoring aurora conditions and one night drove us all out away from town for a great couple hours of northern lights. Incredible week of 90 bear sightings, arctic hares, fox and ptarmigans.
翻译:我们对与Discover Churchill一起的旅行感到非常满意。行前沟通很顺畅,当我提出问题后也迅速得到了回复。这次旅行共有15人参加,我们被分成三组,分别乘坐三辆面包车并入住三处民宿。即便我们这一组有6人,面包车的空间也完全足够。我们六个人同住在一栋房子里,那里有两间完整的浴室,一切都非常顺利。戈德是这里的老板兼经营者(他的妻子经营另一家旅舍,还有一位导游负责管理另一家)。他人非常好。他准备的早餐堪称一绝:有培根、自制糖浆、自制面包、香草酱以及各种果酱,这些美食与煎蛋卷、华夫饼、班尼迪克蛋以及美味至极的法式吐司搭配起来堪称完美。有一天晚上,他和妻子还为全体客人准备了丰盛的家常大餐。其他几顿晚餐我们则是在当地的餐馆用餐,我们原本没料到那里的食物会如此美味。在野外用餐时,我们吃的是三明治和水果,效果极佳。他们也毫无问题地满足了几位有饮食限制的客人的需求。当然,决定一次丘吉尔之旅成败的关键还是导游。Discover Churchill拥有最出色的导游团队。我们明显发现,其他旅行社的游客也都是跟着我们的路线行进。Dave。戴夫和托马斯对熊有着极其深入的了解。有一次,虽然我们其他人都没能看到远处的那只熊,但他们却能预判出熊最有可能出现在我们面前的位置。不仅如此,他们还是摄影师,因此也会把光线条件和视线角度等因素考虑在内。旅社的主人亚历克斯和德鲁也同样出色——他们在机场接我们,详细介绍了行程安排,并在最后一天一直陪着我们,直到航班起飞。他们还在监测极光情况,有一天晚上还开车带我们离开镇子,让我们得以欣赏了几个小时绝美的北极光。那一周真是不可思议:我们共看到了90只北极熊,还有北极野兔、狐狸和雷鸟。
