点评:We had been in Bordeaux before and it is always a nice city to visit. The Lumieres exhibit in the old German sub pens was phenomenal. Riding along the canals was great and mostly easy and we seldom got lost. The Freewheeling app was very good with maps and directions and finding lost riders. The bikes were above average and very adequate for this kind of riding, we were equally split between E and acoustic bikes. Our guides, as in the past with Freewheeling, were excellent.
We had a growing issue with our accommodations, however. The first two nights were great as was the food. The next night hotel was below par and we were on the third floor with no elevator and had to carry our bags up and then back down. The bathroom door in one of the rooms did not close all the way. The hotel on the fifth night in Castelnaudary was similar but even worse. The cyclists all rebelled at this particularly because it seemed these reservations had been changed since we signed up to the tour. Our guides rose to the occasion and called corporate headquarters and got us moved to the TRIBE hotel in Carcassonne where we were scheduled to be the following night anyway and it was excellent.
After this we did another tour with Trek Travel with better bikes and better hotels and not that much more expensive. Still, this was our third tour with Freewheeling and the first two were great and we would use them again as they continue to offer some unique options.
翻译:我们之前去过波尔多,那里一直是个值得一游的城市。在旧德国潜艇基地里举办的卢米埃尔展览令人叹为观止。沿着运河骑行非常棒,而且大部分路段都很轻松,我们很少迷路。Freewheeling 的应用程序非常好用,地图、路线指引和寻找迷路骑手的功能都很实用。自行车质量高于平均水平,非常适合这种骑行方式,我们骑的自行车电动和普通自行车各占一半。和以往参加 Freewheeling 的旅行一样,我们的向导非常出色。
然而,我们的住宿问题却越来越严重。前两晚的住宿和餐饮都很棒。但第三晚的酒店就差强人意了,我们住在三楼,没有电梯,不得不把行李搬上搬下。其中一个房间的浴室门甚至关不严。第五晚在卡斯泰尔诺达里住的酒店情况类似,甚至更糟。所有骑手都对此颇有微词,尤其是考虑到这些预订似乎在我们报名参加旅行团之后被更改了。我们的导游临危不乱,联系了公司总部,帮我们安排了卡尔卡松的 TRIBE 酒店入住,我们原本就计划第二天晚上住在那里,而且酒店非常棒。
之后,我们又参加了 Trek Travel 的另一次旅行,这次的自行车和酒店都更好,价格也没贵多少。不过,这已经是我们第三次参加 Freewheeling 的旅行团了,前两次体验都很棒,我们还会再次选择他们,因为他们一直提供一些独特的旅行选择。
