Extraordinary guides bring alive these excellent collections
Granger Homestead and Carriage Museum的点评
点评:We brought out-of-town visitors here on a Wednesday because Sonnenberg was closed. So happy that it worked out that way! Our tour guides, Vicki and Dan, were extraordinary, some of the best I've had anywhere. Their stories about the mansion and the carriage collection brought them alive and included so much interesting historical context. Each segment of the tour (mansion, carriage house) took about an hour, so that made for a long time to stand and listen, too much for some in the group who ended up skipping the second half, a real loss on their part as the carriages are even more unique and interesting than the house. Perhaps the two segments could be separate tours? They did their best on a very hot day to have fans set up throughout the house, offer folding chairs to sit if needed, and bottled water. It still was challenging but worth it for us. In fact because of the excellent guides, it was a better curated experience than we have usually had at Sonnenberg. I felt badly that we didn't have cash to offer tips in appreciation for the excellent job done by the guides.
翻译:由于索嫩伯格庄园周三关门,我们带了外地游客来这里。真是太高兴了!我们的导游维姬和丹非常出色,是我遇到过的最好的导游之一。他们讲述的豪宅和马车收藏栩栩如生,还包含了许多引人入胜的历史背景。参观的每个部分(豪宅、马车房)大约需要一个小时,所以需要站着听很长时间,这对团队中的一些人来说太长了,他们最终跳过了后半部分,这对他们来说真是个损失,因为马车房比豪宅更独特、更有趣。或许这两个部分可以分开参观?在炎热的天气里,他们竭尽全力在庄园各处安装风扇,提供折叠椅供需要时坐,还提供瓶装水。虽然这仍然很有挑战性,但对我们来说是值得的。事实上,由于导游的出色,这次的体验比我们以往在索嫩伯格庄园的体验要好得多。我感到遗憾的是,我们没有现金来给导游们的小费以感谢他们的出色工作。
