点评:I booked a full day coach tour from a cruise ship to Grand Bassam and Abidjan. The itinerary looked very good, but in the end the experience was average at best. I give the company credit for safely transporting the group to Grand Bassam and getting us back to the port early.
I was disappointed in the transport used. It seems like the company decided to book too large a group. So instead of the usual 22 passenger coaster vans used in other ports (and used by other groups that booked with the same company), we were put in a bus with more than 30 people. The bus had 5 across seating (3-2) though fortunately it was not so packed that 3 people had to sit in one row. But of course the seats were narrow. This would have been acceptable, but the windows were dark and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. There was no clear view of anything, and some windows even had a frosted coating on them that made them semi- opaque. On the plus side, the bus had working air conditioning.
There was no speaker system on the bus, so it was a challenge to hear the guides. We had 2 friendly and helpful gentleman as guides. They were able to somewhat overcome the sound situation by having them relay the information from the front of the bus to the back.
The company offered ample supplies of chilled water, some soft drinks, and even had beer available. There was a “snack” offered in the afternoon which was thoughtful but I don’t think many people ate it. The snack was a selection of savory warm meat and pastry items. But we were an hour late in picking them up and it was impossible to tell how long they had been out in the heat. And vegetarians could not eat them.
The itinerary itself was not completed. Traffic was bad, so we were first told we would only have 5 minutes at the craft market. Then the craft market was cancelled entirely even though we were there. Apparently we needed to get there to pick up the snacks, but then had to move along to the plateau. We didn’t pass by all the things on the list for the plateau, though as they were just drive bus in a bus with low visibility I guess it didn’t matter.

我对所使用的交通工具感到失望。似乎该公司决定预订一个太大的团体。因此,我们没有乘坐其他港口通常使用的 22 座敞篷车(其他在同一家公司预订的团体也使用这种车),而是乘坐了一辆载有 30 多人的巴士。巴士有 5 个座位(3-2),但幸运的是,它并没有挤到 3 个人必须坐在一排。但座位当然很窄。这本来是可以接受的,但窗户很暗,看起来很久没有清洗了。什么都看不清楚,有些窗户上甚至有一层磨砂涂层,使它们半透明。好的一面是,巴士有空调。
巴士上没有扬声器系统,所以很难听清导游的讲解。我们有两位友好而乐于助人的绅士作为导游。他们能够通过从巴士前部向后部传递信息来克服声音问题。
该公司提供了充足的冰水、一些软饮料,甚至还有啤酒。下午还提供了“小吃”,很贴心,但我认为吃的人不多。小吃是各种美味的热肉和糕点。但我们迟了一个小时才去取,无法判断它们在高温下放了多久。素食者不能吃它们。
行程本身没有完成。交通很糟糕,所以我们一开始被告知在手工艺品市场只有 5 分钟的时间。然后,尽管我们已经到了那里,但手工艺品市场却被完全取消了。显然我们需要去那里取零食,但之后不得不继续前往高原。我们没有错过高原清单上列出的所有景点,不过,由于只是在能见度较低的情况下乘坐巴士,我想这并不重要。
