点评:Recently I booked a 11-day South & Central Sulawesi Tour with Yohan at Gloria Tours. He organized the perfect getaway for me, a mature female. He also did send tour-guide Yulius and driver Dojo with me, which suited me perfectly. Both are extremely knowledgeable, kind and caring, amusing and professional. They have a great experience in their field and are probably the most careful and courteous people within his team.
We started the adventure by heading north towards Rammang Rammang and I enjoyed stunning landscape with large limestone mountains. Walks around the rice fields were easy and quite right for me.
Tour guide Yulius knew a lot about the history …… and rice. He also was very caring as he always gave me a hand when I stood wobbling before a steep step. He also practiced his First Aid at my bleeding toe after I hit it on a post at the markets.
Dojo is a very experienced and probably the most careful and courteous driver in the country.
The atmosphere was always friendly, jokes and laugher made long drives enjoyable.
Later at the Toraja Country it was simply fascinating. I couldn´t get enough about the boat-shaped houses and the friendly locals. Again, tour guide Yulius was full of interesting knowledge. He organized for me to attend a wedding (me the only tourist) and a funeral ceremony (many tourists). I have no idea how he did it, just talking to people and coming back with news and invitations. One will get this only with Gloria Tours´ guide Yulius.
All the time I was spoiled by guide and driver and stayed in excellent accommodations with shower and western toilets, except ones when we stayed at a local family home for one night. There, using squad toilet and cold shower was a real adventure. Brrrrr, but I have survived!
In short:
Yulius is an extremely knowledgeable, kind and caring, amusing and professional guide. I could see that he loves his job and sharing his knowledge about a country he really adores.
Dojo is a very experienced and probably the most careful and courteous driver in the country.
The atmosphere was always friendly, jokes and laugher made long drives enjoyable.
In my opinion, these two deserve a salary raise .........
It is for sure if I travel to Sulawesi again, certainly I will book with Gloria Tours again.
翻译:最近,我通过Gloria Tours的Yohan预订了为期11天的南苏拉威西及中苏拉威西之旅。他为我这位年长的女性游客安排了一次完美的旅行。他还为我安排了导游Yulius和司机Dojo随行,这真的非常适合我。他们俩学识渊博、心地善良且细心体贴,既风趣又专业。他们在各自的领域拥有丰富的经验,或许也是Yohan团队中最为细心周到的人选。我们的探险之旅从向北前往拉芒拉芒开始,我沉醉于那里巍峨的石灰岩山峦与绝美的自然风光。在稻田间散步也十分轻松惬意,正合我的心意。
导游尤利乌斯对当地历史以及水稻种植知识了如指掌。他非常体贴细心,每当我面对陡坡而踉跄不稳时,他总会伸手扶我一把。有一次我在集市上撞到了柱子,脚趾流血不止,他立刻为我实施急救处理。多乔是一位经验极为丰富的司机,或许也是这个国家最细心、最有礼貌的司机了。
车内的氛围总是很融洽,玩笑与笑声让漫长的车程变得愉快无比。
后来在托拉贾地区,那里的景象简直令人着迷。那些船形的房屋以及热情友善的当地人让我流连忘返。导游尤利乌斯同样博闻多识,给我带来了许多有趣的知识。他还安排我参加了一场婚礼(我是唯一的游客)以及一场葬礼(有很多游客参加)。我真不知道他是怎么做到的。只是和人们交谈,然后带回消息与邀请。只有通过Gloria Tours的导游尤利乌斯,才能做到这一点。
整个旅程中,导游和司机都对我悉心照顾;我入住的住宿地点也都很不错,配有淋浴设施和西式马桶——除了有一次我们在一户当地人家中过夜的情况。那次使用公共厕所和冷水淋浴真是一次“冒险”经历啊。哎呀,不过我还是挺过来了!
简而言之:
尤利乌斯是一位知识渊博、善良体贴、风趣幽默且极其专业的导游。我能看出他热爱自己的工作,也乐于分享关于这个他深爱的国家的知识。
Dojo经验丰富,恐怕也是这个国家里最细心、最有礼貌的司机了。
车内的氛围总是很融洽,玩笑声和笑声让漫长的车程变得愉快无比。
在我看来,这两人理应获得加薪……
可以肯定的是,如果我下次再去苏拉威西岛,一定会再次选择Gloria Tours来安排行程。
