点评:My husband and I took the Kitchen and Cottages tour on his birthday. We had purchased tickets online, but we still had to check-in and get bracelets when we arrived. There were snacks and coffee available for purchase. However, get there with plenty of time to finish eating and drinking. The bus ride up the hill was spent listening to a recording of the late Alex Trebek. The recording was informative and timed to the specific route.
We were greeted at the castle by our guide. She introduced herself (she remembered our names throughout the tour, impressive!) Her name was Donnelle. She was charmingly witty and overflowing with detailed information on every little thing. She told us stories about so many intricacies of each room. We felt as though we had slipped back in time to a place where dreams were built, beautified, and flourished. She was energetic and enthusiastic. That was helpful because I get kind of bored when listening to someone who seems monotonous. She kept us engaged! So thankful for that. I feel like I learned so much.
The bus ride back mimicked the ride up. We were then greeted by employees trying to sell us souvenir photos they captured before our tour. We thought it looked commercialized, so we opted to enjoy and remember the day with our own photos. Our guide even took a few of us at the castle.
There are several tours to choose from. This is our third tour, and the best so far! We will be back.
翻译:我和丈夫在他生日那天参加了厨房和小屋之旅。我们在网上订了票,但到达后仍然需要办理登机手续并领取手环。那里有小吃和咖啡可以买。不过,一定要留出充足的时间吃饱喝足。乘坐巴士上山的路上,我们听了已故亚历克斯·特雷贝克的录音。录音内容丰富,而且与路线时间同步。
我们的导游在城堡迎接了我们。她做了自我介绍(她在整个旅程中都记得我们的名字,真是令人印象深刻!)她叫唐奈尔。她风趣幽默,对每个细节都了如指掌。她给我们讲述了每个房间错综复杂的细节。我们仿佛回到了过去,来到了一个梦想得以构建、美化和繁荣的地方。她精力充沛,充满热情。这很有帮助,因为听一个看起来单调乏味的人说话,我会有点无聊。她让我们一直保持着兴趣!非常感谢她,我觉得我学到了很多东西。
回程的巴士和上山的行程很像。工作人员热情地迎接我们,试图向我们推销他们在游览前拍摄的纪念照片。我们觉得这看起来有点商业化,所以决定好好享受,用自己的照片来纪念这一天。我们的导游甚至在城堡里给我们拍了几张照片。
有好几条线路可供选择。这是我们的第三次旅行,也是迄今为止最好的一次!我们还会再来的。
