点评:As a TA member for nearly 20 years I have read my share of reviews and then some. So, I know that when you read a negative review you know it’s about one persons opinion at a given point in time. You will have to decide whether booking an advance reservation at Planeta is worth the risk.
I had dedicated hours and hours of time researching the ‘best’ possible wineries to visit on Mt Etna where we weren’t herding along with the crowd. I had studied wine over 25 weeks in NYC and was excited to experience the best Sicily had to offer.
I had settled on Planeta as one of two choices. We booked a 2.5 hour ‘experience’ which included wine, olive oil and food. We invested hundreds of Euro in hiring a car service. While we were a 1/2 hour away I checked my email to see that I was being informed that our booking was cancelled - sent at 9:20 am for an 11:00 reservation which we were asked to arrive 15 mins early to. They referred to the safety of their employees and guests since there were heavy rains the night before.
As a result, we had our driver pull over to the side of the road as we furiously tried contacting many wineries in the same town and vicinity all of whom were open, honoring their bookings and unavailable for new reservations
.All we were offered was a discount for a reservation two days later…. Even though we were spending hundreds of Euro for a driver that day. So, they couldn’t give a damn about THEIR guests since a 1.5 hour notice,by email
no less, certainly isn’t enough time.
翻译:作为 TA 会员近 20 年,我读过很多评论。所以,我知道当你读到负面评论时,你知道这只是一个人在特定时间点的意见。你必须决定提前预订 Planeta 是否值得冒险。
我花了好几个小时研究埃特纳火山上“最好的”酒庄,在那里我们不会随波逐流。我在纽约学习了 25 周的葡萄酒,很高兴能体验西西里岛最好的葡萄酒。
我选择了 Planeta 作为两个选择之一。我们预订了 2.5 小时的“体验”,包括葡萄酒、橄榄油和食物。我们花了数百欧元雇了一辆汽车。当我们还有半小时的路程时,我查看了我的电子邮件,发现我被告知我们的预订被取消了——上午 9:20 发送的预订是 11:00,我们被要求提前 15 分钟到达。他们提到,由于前一天晚上下了大雨,所以员工和客人的安全受到了影响。
结果,我们让司机把车停在路边,我们拼命联系同一城镇和附近的许多酒庄,这些酒庄都开门营业,接受预订,不接受新的预订
。他们只给我们提供了两天后预订的折扣……尽管我们当天为司机花了数百欧元。所以,他们根本不在乎他们的客人,因为提前 1.5 小时通知,通过电子邮件
肯定是不够的。
