点评:We are two friends who booked a 3-day tour in the Albanian Alps, which includes the Shala River, transportation, including a boat trip on Lake Koman, a day of hiking between Valbonë and Theth, as well as accommodation and meals. While the overall experience was great, it was mainly because the group we shared the tour with was fantastic. Unfortunately, we had to deal with an extremely unpleasant and seemingly incompetent guide. Firstly, I must mention that despite paying for the tour, I found the atmosphere at Shala River quite unpleasant. We had to pay an additional fee to sit on a sunbed, and there was loud music blaring everywhere in the middle of this natural area.
Moreover, the lunch on the first day was not included, so we had planned to have a picnic. However, without consulting us, the guide made meal reservations with a restaurant owner, leaving us with no choice but to eat there.
As for the hiking day, the mountain was majestic and beautiful. However, the guide didn't seem up to the task. In the first half-hour, she lost two people from the group who had stopped to take photos. She didn't count everyone and started walking without paying attention. When we pointed out that two people were missing, she told us to continue walking and turned back herself, followed by one of the companions of the "lost" individuals. The rest of us decided to stop and wait for the group to be complete. When she returned, she was furious and extremely angry. The guys explained to us that she had yelled at them. She remained incredibly unpleasant for the rest of the hike. She didn't share any information about the mountain, what we were seeing, and didn't pay attention to the group's pace. We supported each other instead. In the evening, she didn't even have dinner with us. She never wanted to hear any comments, explanations, or even admit that she had made a mistake. I found this behavior highly irresponsible.
Finally, on the third day, she arranged for a car to take some people to the waterfall instead of asking if anyone had pain or didn't want to walk. I had no issues and she forced me into the car, pointing at me and saying "you and you." I asked her why, and she replied that I had problems, which was untrue. I have rarely been spoken to so disrespectfully. It brought tears to my eyes because she deprived me of the second short hike. Truly, it was fortunate that the rest of the group was amazing because they saved the experience for me. Last but not least: there was a boat transport strike. The boat we ended up taking was clearly overloaded as they had to accommodate more people than it was designed for. The crew kept checking the boat's balance, and those inside were suffocating from the heat. It was really unsafe and unsettling.
翻译:我们是两个朋友,预订了阿尔巴尼亚阿尔卑斯山3日游,其中包括沙拉河,交通,包括科曼湖乘船游览,瓦尔博内和泰斯之间的一天徒步旅行,以及住宿和餐饮。虽然整体体验很棒,但这主要是因为我们一起旅行的团队非常棒。不幸的是,我们不得不面对一位非常令人不愉快且看似无能的导游。首先,我必须提到,尽管支付了旅行费用,但我发现沙拉河的气氛相当不愉快。我们必须支付额外费用才能坐在日光浴床上,并且在这个自然区域的中间到处都响起吵闹的音乐。
而且第一天的午餐不包含在内,所以我们本来打算去野餐的。然而,导游没有咨询我们,就向一家餐馆老板订了餐,我们只好在那里吃饭。
至于徒步旅行的那天,这座山雄伟而美丽。然而,该指南似乎无法胜任这项任务。前半个小时,她就失去了两个停下来拍照的人。她没有数数众人,漫不经心地走着。当我们指出有两人失踪时,她让我们继续走,然后自己又折返,后面跟着“失踪”者的一名同伴。我们其他人决定停下来等待小组完成。当她回来时,她勃然大怒,愤怒至极。这些人向我们解释说她对他们大喊大叫。在接下来的徒步旅行中,她仍然感到非常不愉快。她没有分享任何关于这座山、我们所看到的信息,也没有关注这群人的步伐。相反,我们互相支持。晚上,她甚至没有和我们一起吃晚饭。她从来不想听到任何评论、解释,甚至不想承认自己犯了错误。我发现这种行为是非常不负责任的。
最后,第三天,她安排了一辆车带一些人去瀑布,而不是询问是否有人疼痛或不想走路。我没有遇到任何问题,她强迫我上车,指着我说“你和你”。我问她为什么,她回答说我有问题,这是不真实的。我很少被如此无礼地说话。这让我热泪盈眶,因为她剥夺了我第二次短途徒步的机会。确实,很幸运的是,团队的其他成员都很棒,因为他们为我保留了这段经历。最后但并非最不重要的一点是:发生了船舶运输罢工。我们最终乘坐的船显然超载了,因为它们必须容纳比设计更多的人。船员们不停地检查船的平衡,船上的人都热得透不过气来。这真的很不安全和令人不安。
