Tour ROME Naples 7 days

Terrible organization PAC tours Group together with TUO Traveld in Italy. I’ll start with the fact that when you book a tour in Moscow and read the program on the website, be prepared for the fact that it will not completely coincide with what we received in Italy. Upon arrival at the airport, we waited TWO HOURS for the transfer (since they collect people from several flights). As a rule, all excursions offer 1 or 2 excursions per day. The load is such that in one day, overview walking tour in Rome, an additional excursion to the Vatican where you, having paid money for it, will stand in line with everyone (and then run around the Vatican, I don’t have the opportunity to look at everything carefully) although organized group must pass without a queue and at the end of the day, when you took us to Tivoli without legs (there are no breaks for lunch), everyone is herded like cattle from one place to another. As for guides, there are both professionals and not. The situation in hotels is absolutely incomprehensible; upon check-in we paid a tax of 2 to 4 euros, but they did not give us receipts (maybe, and most likely this is in PAC GRoup hotels). When you pay the tour operator the amount

twice as expensive as a holiday on your own, you must at least be responsible for the quality of the tour organization! (don’t tell tales by canceling the additional excursion Roman Castles that the road broke down :), although the road did not break down for other operators. The cost of additional excursions magically became 10 euros more expensive than in the program on the PAK website. And these are nothing compared to the fact that the hotels on the tour were replaced by others, and if you are 70 years old and you are preparing for a tour in Moscow, you look at how to get there or it is more convenient to get somewhere from your hotel, in Italy, getting to another place and not Having the opportunity to see the route, follow the COMPASS AS YOU WANT. They did not give us a program before departure. The cost of additional excursions increased by 10 euros in Italy

Otherwise, Italy is beautiful as always!!! And even the thirst for profit of some will not spoil the impression of the country.

We were in Paris with 2 adults and a child at the end of March from Pac Group (the welcoming party of AMITOURS). Saturated excursion program was already included in our tour. We were met at the airport and taken to the hotel we had chosen. We liked everything about it. How much have I traveled different countries, this is the first time I have encountered such an organization of excursions, it is simply disgusting, the guides are not collected, not organized.. Near Versailles, they could not hand out tickets to us for half an hour, divide us into 3 groups to start the excursion - it was some kind of horror. Then we had to run away to see everything, because the organization took up our time! They told everyone to come to the Louvre at 16.45, and not at 17.00, as indicated in the program, in order to have time to mark us and go on a tour. And what do you think, this guide herself came at 17.05, everyone’s indignation knew no bounds! How so! She told us all to come early, but she herself was late! On a walking tour of Montmartre, we got completely lost because we were told to dial drinking water whoever needed it and left without waiting for everyone, and there were a lot of side streets and didn’t find where they turned. The saddest thing was on the day of departure, when the transfer to the airport, paid in advance, did not pick us up at 6 o’clock. We started ordering taxis through the hotel at 6.30, but ended up leaving only at 7 o’clock. and at our own expense, which no one reimbursed us after! Good time to catch the plane. Such beautiful city and such a terrible organization of everything!

Dear tourists, if you want to be deceived and find out about poor quality services, contact PAC GROUP. we just arrived from a cruise in Dubai - India, we took excursions for 80 euros, we thought they would tell us and show us BUT what the hell is it called, the guides barely speak Russian, they barely speak any information other than officially they can’t say as they said WE ARE NOT LOCAL. They took us to places that were simply not interesting and useless. Almost everyone spat))))) and when in the temple the guide showed us the frescoes and called them beautiful pictures and said to the board of the founder of this temple that this is a beautiful floor))))) then even the caretaker of this temple simply barely holding back his laughter simply left. Why did you hire such guides for such money EXPLAIN the fools to us. HORROR I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM YOUR COMPANY.

Tour Italy-France (14.07.2018 - 21.07.2018)

The program is unfinished!!! Please pay attention to such shortcomings as:

1) There is a line in the program - Paid additionally (on the spot). But no one said that you can’t buy tickets separately from the excursion. Let me clarify! I decided even before the trip that I didn’t need additional excursions, that I could calmly walk around the same “Versailles Palace” myself. But the tour operator “Pac Group” had already decided for me that I needed additional excursions. Therefore, on a “voluntary basis” I was forced to pay for both the excursion and tickets.

I believe that it is necessary to indicate in the program that tickets cannot be purchased separately from the excursion!

2) Breakfasts. I will never forget breakfasts in hotels. It's just a shame! I will list: bread, croissants, boiled eggs, butter, jam, tea, coffee, milk and cereal. I looked at the reviews: people write that they were full of it. I think I was robbed. The most offensive thing was that a separate buffet was set for the Europeans, which included cheeses, bacon, sausages and sausages. I observed the following picture: Russians go to a European table to take a small, pathetic sausage, and they are stopped by a hotel employee who says that they cannot take from this table. Although the Europeans easily approached ours and took what they wanted and no one stopped them.

3) It is worth paying attention to the fact that when arriving in a new unfamiliar city, it's easy to get lost. We expected that they would provide us with maps, but they only gave us maps for cities such as Bologna and Venice. This is a big minus!

4) The guide Irina Khilyuk is rude, harsh, incompetent, her speech is very poor. Instead of spending an hour at the Palace of Versailles, she offered to go to Fontainebleau, but set the condition that half the passengers agree. I had to go. Irina Khilyuk charged 15 € from each person. And that's not all. She repeatedly did not mention some of the passengers' names. Although she keeps everything accountable. Approaching her for the fourth time to clarify the information, she smiled and said that she remembered. How is that? If each guide has a program on their computer, where they mark the excursions for which passengers have signed up and print out receipts. A very unpleasant situation. When we arrived in new city, Irina Khilyuk pointed out stores where you can buy a lot of “clothes”, advertised restaurants (although they are on every corner). After all, the main goal of the tour is to see the sights. We could talk a little about the countries (Italy-France), the cities we visited, about the culture, but not about the shops, restaurants, cafes and our own lives. It's not interesting! A little about rudeness: I noticed such an episode in Milan (day 2: Turin-Milan). A 50-year-old woman went on an excursion and wanted to use the toilet, so she decided to ask Irina Khilyuk where the nearest ladies’ room was, to which I.Kh. She answered rudely: “You have to be patient, but there are no toilets in Milan.” What about the toilets on buses? Why does the tour operator Pac Group not count on such situations?

In September 2018, we took a cruise on the MSC Preziosa from Kiel (Germany) to Genoa (Italy). This was our second cruise on the ships of this company, so the rules, conditions, service on board, excursions in the cities were familiar. Along the way there were Copenhagen, London, Bruges (Belgium), Lisbon, Santiago de Compostela (Spain), Gibraltar, Marseille, Barcelona. Of course, the trip was full of impressions, information, and emotions. In the cities we were met by good, good or very good guides. And I would especially like to mention Lyudmila Saburova, the tour guide. top class, who accompanied us in London, a very difficult and rich city of impressions. But in the relatively short time of the excursion, she skillfully distributed the information so that there was enough time and understanding of the city for everything. Unfortunately, our second Russian-speaking group was unlucky: the tour guide was not very skillful, and they spent more time stuck in traffic jams than driving around the city. The holiday on the ship was also eventful: three swimming pools with sea ​​water, one of which is indoors, several Jacuzzis, however, they are small and almost constantly “occupied”, so it’s not easy to get into them. There is a gym and a massage parlor, where people insistently invite you because the services are paid, 15-20 euros for 10-15 minutes. Lots of bars, live music in the evenings, not always good quality and execution, but it was, it was. A 20-hour buffet with a wide selection of dishes to suit all tastes, from burgers and pizza to low-fat yogurt and lettuce. That is, you can always choose to suit your taste. In addition to the buffet, there are several restaurants with waiter service, but many prefer a free choice of " buffet". For entertainment, there are daily concerts, parties, dances. There is a casino, cards, roulette, and slot machines are popular. Animators organize games, competitions, and classes. There are even 1-2 Spanish or Italian language lessons. There are several clubs for children and teenagers. Quite There are many shops where you can spend a tidy sum of money spent on clothes, bags, shoes, perfumes, alcohol. There is a pharmacy kiosk, the services of professional photographers, a cinema (5 minutes for 7 euros. They are not worth it. The service in the cabins is polite,). unobtrusive, almost imperceptible, that is, quite satisfactory. Tips for service personnel are not accepted, since 15% is included in all prices and services. On the one hand, it’s good, you don’t need to think anything about this, it seems that good service is guaranteed, and in fact. In the vast majority of cases, this is exactly what happens, but tourists do not have to independently regulate and evaluate the quality of service, which not everyone likes.

That is, the vacation is not cheap, but it is comfortable, interesting, and eventful.

What to keep in mind if you are going on such a cruise. This year, a rather small forced tourist tax of 10 euros daily was added to each tourist. It’s not very clear what this money is for, it seems to be a bonus for the ship’s crew, but for some reason at the expense of tourists who already paid a lot for the cruise. Second. It must be kept in mind that MSC liners 5 languages ​​accepted: English, German, Italian, Spanish and French. Of course, you can always look for Russian-speaking service personnel, and they will be found, but it is still much easier if you have at least minimal knowledge of one of the European languages: the possibilities greatly expand.

It will be difficult for those who are looking for peace and quiet on vacation. There are 4,500 passengers on the liner, there are constant crowds of people everywhere, sometimes talking very loudly, so you will have to look for silence in the library or on one of the uppermost decks, where noisy companies do not reach, or even in the bar area if the bar counter is not working.

The one we were really unlucky with was those accompanying the Russian-speaking group. There were two of them from Odessa, both with the last name Gural. There is practically nothing to say about the younger Gural; he performed purely technical functions, and therefore was colorless and invisible. But the elder Gural Gennady Semenovich was a remarkable personality. It could be assumed that his official duties were to be the group’s curator, resolve emerging issues, provide the necessary information in a timely manner, and, moreover, do it kindly and politely.

But he behaved like a shepherd with a foolish flock. He either didn’t answer questions or did it through gritted teeth and clearly reluctantly, sending them first to the reception or to the information sheet. He talked on the verge of rudeness, and if he was in a good mood, he made strange jokes, also on the verge, but of vulgarity. The service staff advised us to “grab you by the breasts.” He managed to quarrel with almost everyone who dared to approach him with any question. The funny climax was that on the last day of the cruise he rushed to the girls at the reception to complain about the group (to which, by the way, he did not say goodbye, just as he had not said hello before). In a word, his manners, behavior and work were so unprofessional that I had to wonder what he was doing in the tourism business, and even in the cruise business.

Would you recommend this cruise? Of course you can, it will give you a lot of different impressions and will be a good memory for a long time. But it would be nice to have an idea of ​​what kind of person will be the curator of the group on the cruise and to remember the language that was taught at school. The rest will be fine.

In principle, I was happy until it was the turn of the Naples Pompeii excursion. This excursion brought me to tears. When all your life you want to go somewhere, you collect money, pay such an amount that you can fly to America, but in the end there is nothing. No emotions, no feeling that you were there, not a single normal photograph for memory. But the fact is that the guides take you at a gallop across Europe. Everything is fast, they don’t let you breathe calmly, look at the third one, take a photo. Terrible. A visit to Naples is written. Yes, to be honest, it’s a shame to say that I was in Naples, because the entire excursion consisted of a 30-minute walk through the streets and 40 minutes of free time. Horror! no words! It’s good that I didn’t take all the extra excursions and I had time to freely walk around and look around, but this tour is similar to a chariot competition! Horror! I don’t recommend taking a sightseeing tram! Better go yourself, book a hotel, and travel! So much better! I am disappointed with the Pak Group company. Horror

We went with Pak to the south of Italy. In principle, we went to Italy not for the first time, either with this company or with others, the host party was always “Gartur”, there were no special complaints about the organization. "Pak", of course, is always somewhat less organized than other companies, but tolerable. This time, as it turned out, the host company was divided into two, Gartur and Two Travel, and we got the second, apparently super-budget, but also extremely low-quality option. To begin with, a guide with a sign “Danko” met us at the airport, which is already non-trivial. There was no transfer of information between the greeting assistants at all: we waited on the bus for almost an hour for a woman who, as it turned out later, arrived in the morning and was already at the hotel, and it turns out that others going to the hotel were also waiting for a long time for us in the morning, despite the fact that we arrived in the evening. Hotels in Rimini along the route are horror, horror, horror! It is not clear why they are given stars at all. The prices for additional excursions, of course, are very high, but that was not what annoyed us - what annoyed us was the outright extortion of the assistant who accompanied us to Rome, who demanded 1 euro each from all tourists on the bus for the so-called “service”. This means that instead of a tip, please pay for all days of your stay, and it doesn’t matter that tourists may not use escort and transfer services at all - pay and that’s it! At the same time, I collected money on the bus on the way to Rome, in parallel with the money for booked excursions. But we are not suckers, we didn’t book excursions from him (we booked them later, from other guides along the route), so we didn’t pay the “service fee”. The guide Natalya, to whom we were assigned, as a result of which they bore the loud name “Natalya’s group,” appeared a day later, and did not want to resolve the issues that arose in any way: she promised to call back - she did not call back, etc. A day later she said goodbye to us in Rome, which surprised us beyond words, and we went further along the route.

I must say that we have never encountered a situation where a group is constantly attached to someone else before. We really liked the tour to Tuscany, previously carried out together with another company with a small number of people in the group, precisely because there was one guide accompanying us along the route all the time. PAC, in an effort to get as much benefit as possible, tried all the time to stick our small group of 7 people onto buses traveling with other excursions. There was a feeling group tour, and traveling on transfer buses: every day we were transferred to other buses, without having time to remember the name of one guide, we had to get to know another. But we must pay tribute, among the guides there were really very good people: Daniel in Sorrento and Irina in Bari, many thanks to them! Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the most expensive excursion along the route - to Capri, because the guide didn’t tell us anything, she just moved slowly along the route, admiring the fruit in the shops and the flowers in the flower beds. What we paid the money for remains a mystery to us.

In general, we got what we wanted, because we love Italy, we know the history of what to see - we will always find it, and we don’t expect that we will be taken close by bus to every attraction - with our legs, with our legs.

But PAK’s service has become much worse; let’s just keep quiet about TUO Travel. By the way, hotel owners told tourists from our group that the company does not pay them extra, so they are forced to save on our groups and, for example, in Sorrento, charge for a split.

We love Italy very much, but we will definitely not contact PAK again.

Accompany Marina Sh. Illiterate, false information, blatantly demanded a tip of 20 euros per person. The tour is tiring. Save on hotels and staff. The hotels are far from each other, it takes a long time to get there after a tiring race. Additional excursions are 2 times more expensive than on site. Tastings, a restaurant in the field and shops are 3 times more expensive. Don't go to Pisa. There is nothing there except the tower. It’s very difficult to travel for a long time for 45 euros, after a 4-hour journey. My legs were buzzing all week. There is no need to buy excursions in Rome. We easily covered everything ourselves in 3 days for free. Museums other than the Vatican are not worth visiting. You will be galloped past the paintings, all the same, you still won’t remember. The guides are bad. 25 euros for rent of 1 headphone. Tourists are treated like a herd of sheep that need to be bred for additional services. Don't listen to anyone. Take 3* hotels in the center of Rome. It’s convenient to walk, no one bothers you, thieves are on the outskirts. In general, not bad, just change the accompanying Marina Sh. to an adequate person who has information. One tourist wrote a bad review about her, so Marina Sh did not hesitate to read it to the whole bus on speakerphone. It was very unpleasant to listen to this, even though everything in the review was true. There are 55 people on the bus. Don't take children. It's hard and uninteresting for them.
