点评:Pilgrim Tours put together a first rate package for us. We purchased the tour and airfare from Pilgrim, but opted to go on our own for the travel insurance. All aspects went without a hitch. Our primary guide and motor coach driver were first class. The other “local” guides we had were equally knowledgeable and understandable. (One couple in our group on their third trip to Israel said that the Via Dolorosa trek was not the best experience they’ve had, but otherwise felt that this was their best trip.) All four hotels were very nice; and, our rooms were upper floors on the scenic side of the buildings. The motor coach used looked new; and, since our driver was Arab, we didn’t have to move to a different coach to enter Bethlehem. This tour is jam packed and requires a lot of walking, much on uneven surfaces. So, don’t expect a lot of free time and prepare ahead of the trip by walking two or three miles a day. The only two nits I have are the stop at the Nativity store where the level of high pressure sales tactics were exceeded only by the high prices of the merchandise and that most lunches were a choice only between falafel or chicken schnitzel. Well done, Pilgrim Tours.
翻译:Pilgrim Tours 为我们准备了一流的套餐。我们从 Pilgrim 购买了旅游和机票,但选择自行购买旅行保险。各方面都很顺利。我们的主要向导和大巴司机是一流的。我们拥有的其他“本地”指南同样知识渊博且易于理解。 (我们小组中的一对夫妇第三次去以色列旅行时说,苦难之路并不是他们有过的最好的经历,但除此之外,他们觉得这是他们最好的旅行。) 四家酒店都非常好;而且,我们的房间位于建筑物风景优美的一侧的较高楼层。使用的大客车看上去很新;而且,由于我们的司机是阿拉伯人,我们不必换乘另一辆马车即可进入伯利恒。这次旅行挤满了人,需要走很多路,而且路况不平。所以,不要指望有很多空闲时间,每天步行两三英里,提前做好旅行准备。我唯一的两个小毛病是在 Nativity 商店停留,那里的高压销售策略仅被商品的高价所超越,而且大多数午餐只能在沙拉三明治或鸡肉炸肉排之间做出选择。干得好,朝圣之旅。
