点评:Greece itself was wonderful. My experience with Ancient Greece Tours . . . . was far more mixed. First of all, many of their tours are sub-contracted out. They often hand you off to third-party companies for many of "their" tours, and they never make that particularly clear. (This gets particularly problematic with the longer packages, where you might be in several hands.) There's no clear line of communication if things go wrong, and while things *usually* didn't, any time planes and ferries are involved, there's bound to be hiccups. And when they happened to us, we were more often than not unable to reach anyone--at ANY company. (Ancient Greece went completely silent on us with five days left in Greece, and we never heard from them again.) We booked several tours through Ancient Greece all at once, bought our airline tickets--based on the itineraries they provided--and then some of their partners CHANGED the tour dates! (Yes, we able to make new flight arrangements. No, we weren't able to exchange some of our airplane tickets, and so had to eat the costs and purchase new ones.) Final itineraries weren't provided until only a few days before the trip began (excusable enough), but then we would arrive in some cities to find that the hotel arrangements were no longer what was listed on our itineraries from just a few days earlier. And the lodgings themselves? Some were beautiful, some were OK, and some were OK lodgings in absolute hellholes. Did we enjoy seeing the breadth of Greece? Absolutely. Would I recommend this particular company? No, and for several reasons--most prominent among them is that your trip is only as good as the particular sub-contractors to whom your party happens to be sold off. And you won't know who that is until long after you've wired Ancient Greece your money.
翻译:希腊本身就很棒。但我在古希腊旅行社 (Ancient Greece Tours) 的体验……就好坏参半了。首先,他们的很多行程都是分包的。他们经常把很多“他们的”行程交给第三方公司,而且他们从不明确说明这一点。(对于长期套餐来说,这个问题尤其严重,因为你可能会被多人包揽。)如果出现问题,沟通渠道不畅。虽然通常情况下不会出现问题,但只要涉及到飞机和渡轮,就难免会出点小问题。而且,一旦出现问题,我们往往联系不上任何人——任何一家公司。(古希腊旅行社在我们希腊行程还剩五天的时候就完全沉默了,之后就再也没有联系过我们。)我们一次预订了几个古希腊旅行社的行程,根据他们提供的行程买了机票——然后他们的一些合作伙伴就把行程改了! (是的,我们可以安排新的航班。但是,我们无法更换部分机票,所以不得不自己承担费用并购买新的机票。)直到旅行开始前几天才提供最终行程(这很情有可原),但是我们到达某些城市后发现酒店安排不再是几天前行程单上列出的酒店了。住宿呢?有的很漂亮,有的还行,有的虽然还行,但是住宿条件极差。我们喜欢游览希腊吗?绝对喜欢。我会推荐这家公司吗?不会,原因有几个 — — 其中最突出的就是,您的旅行是否好,完全取决于将您的旅行团卖给哪些分包商。而您直到把钱汇给古希腊很久之后才会知道那是谁。
