点评:We did the Piedmont tour. There were positives but too many negatives. One hotel excellent, one good and one terrible. The first night the restaurant that was supposed to open just for our group canceled. So you wonder how strong a relationship the tour owner has with the restaurant owner. We were told the substitute restaurant was a 20 minute walk. It was almost 40 minutes and over uneven surfaces. Most of us opted to take a cab back to the hotel. The tour did not pick up the cost. Terrible experience and the tour cheaped out. Several restaurants were wine only so you could not order a cocktail. There was a problem getting the tickets into one of the museums. You just got the feeling this is not a top grade tour. Price value is poor. The middle hotel was more like a college dormitory. No real bar and absolutely no atmosphere. We had no hot water in our bathroom and even after two complaints it was not fixed. That hotel was in the middle of nowhere. Originally we were on our own to take transportation into the nearest town for dinner but the tour operator decided that we would have dinner at the hotel. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and personal but many times would start her discussion on walking tours before the last of the group arrived at the location. We also stood in some fairly heavy rain when she could have given us her comments inside a church. Our bus driver got stuck in the mud and we had to be towed out. That cost us 40 minutes and we ended up with a very late lunch. So you can sense I was soured about the trip as the negatives are what I have focused on in this review. But there were positives. The cooking class was spectacular. The visit to the winery run by a young couple who also hosted truffle hunting was also a winner even if the wine was not top grade. The walking tours were very informative.
翻译:我们参加了皮埃蒙特之旅。有优点也有缺点。一家酒店很棒,一家很好,一家很糟糕。第一天晚上,原本只为我们团队开的餐厅取消了。所以你想知道旅行社老板和餐厅老板的关系有多好。我们被告知替代餐厅步行 20 分钟即可到达。但实际上几乎花了 40 分钟,而且路面不平。我们大多数人选择打车回酒店。旅行社没有承担费用。糟糕的体验,而且旅行很便宜。几家餐厅只提供葡萄酒,所以你不能点鸡尾酒。其中一个博物馆的门票有问题。你只是觉得这不是一个顶级的旅行。性价比很差。中间的酒店更像是大学宿舍。没有真正的酒吧,完全没有氛围。我们的浴室没有热水,即使投诉了两次也没有修好。那家酒店位于偏僻的地方。最初我们自己乘车去最近的城镇吃晚餐,但旅行社决定让我们在酒店吃晚餐。导游知识渊博,很有个性,但很多时候,她会在团队最后一批成员到达目的地之前就开始讨论徒步旅行。我们还站在大雨中,而她本可以在教堂里给我们评论。我们的巴士司机陷入泥潭,我们不得不被拖出来。这花了我们 40 分钟,最后我们吃了一顿很晚的午餐。所以你可以感觉到我对这次旅行很失望,因为我在这篇评论中关注的是负面因素。但也有积极的一面。烹饪课很精彩。参观一对年轻夫妇经营的酿酒厂,他们还举办了松露狩猎活动,尽管葡萄酒不是顶级的,但这也是一次胜利。徒步旅行非常有教育意义。
