点评:I recently travelled to Rome,Italy and took the tour named Classical Rome run by Civita Tours.
The reason I am writing this message is relative to the meeting instructions as follows:
Upon debarkation, please take one of the free shuttle services to the meeting point. The ride should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Your coach will be in the car park at Largo della Pace, just opposite of the fire brigades station ( Vigili del Fuoco) Your guide from Civitatours will be waiting for you in the meeting area. They will be wearing yellow and holding a Civitatours sign. Please plan to be at the designated departure location at least 15 minutes before your departure time listed above.
Now imagine that you arrived at this specific location 30 minutes before the departure time and waited for someone to show up. These instructions are too specific and fortunately, because I thought they were wrong we didn’t miss the tour. However, one employee yelled with a dismissive attitude, oh well, you missed it. When I stated that the instructions were wrong, they told me to go to the Civita Tours booth. I found someone directing people to a bus and luckily we made the tour. I know that this isn’t an isolated incident because another man did the same thing and almost missed his bus.
I suggest the instructions be written as follows:
Take the free shuttle bus to Largo Della Pace. Walk to the Civitatours booth to wait for instructions for the bus. DO NOT LEAVE THE BUS TERMINAL.
The present instructions lead people out of the bus terminal.
The second suggestion is related to the tour guide. We arrived at Vatican City and wasted 30 minutes rounding up people to go to the washroom. The tour could suggest that everyone use the facilities at the bus terminal, so that time is not wasted in a very busy and hectic section of Rome. We actually lost two people on this tour.

我写这封邮件的原因与以下集合指示有关:
下车后,请乘坐免费班车前往集合地点。车程大约需要10到15分钟。您的巴士将停在和平广场(Largo della Pace)的停车场,就在消防站(Vigili del Fuoco)对面。Civita Tours的导游将在集合区等候您。他们将身穿黄色服装,并举着Civita Tours的标志。请计划在上述出发时间前至少15分钟到达指定的出发地点。
现在想象一下,您在出发时间前30分钟到达这个特定地点,等待有人出现。这些指示太具体了,幸运的是,因为我以为他们错了,所以我们没有错过这次旅行。然而,一名工作人员带着不屑一顾的态度大喊:“哦,好吧,你错过了。”当我指出指示错误时,他们让我去Civita Tours的售票处。我找到一个工作人员,正在引导人们上车,幸运的是,我们赶上了行程。我知道这并非个例,因为之前也有人做过同样的事情,差点错过公交车。
我建议指示应该这样写:
乘坐免费班车前往和平广场(Largo Della Pace)。步行到Civita Tours售票处等候公交车指示。请勿离开公交车站。
目前的指示是引导人们离开公交车站。
第二个建议与导游有关。我们到达梵蒂冈城后,浪费了30分钟召集人们去洗手间。旅行团可以建议每个人都使用公交车站的设施,这样就不会在罗马这个非常繁忙的地区浪费时间。实际上,我们在这次旅行中损失了两个人。
