点评:We utilized VSL for 2 services:
1. Airport pickup and transfer to Freetown via boat- I scheduled this for a few of my colleagues and it all went smoothly. I liked that I was able to book it online and that they offered different versions: door-to-door, just purchasing your boat ticket, and everything in between.
2. Tour of Bunce and Tasso Islands- the tour was great. Abudulai was an excellent guide, especially considering he was fasting for Ramadan! His ceremony at the beginning of the Bunce Island tour was very touching and felt so respectful of what had happened there. The private boat was lovely. Lunch at Tasso Island was pretty good, served family style- rice, a palm oil sauce with a vegetarian option and a mixed chicken/fish/crab option, and a variety of clams/mollusks, served with soda and water. It was tasty but the $15 per person price seemed very high. The museum on Tasso Island afterward was great! It's one big room filled with a lot of information and artifacts. I was surprised by the high price of the tour, but it seems everything in Sierra Leone is expensive. Be sure to bring extra cash (in addition to the entrance fee on Bunce) for tips for the various visits and for the Bunce donation box.
The communication with VSL was good. Email was the most effective. There are several phone numbers posted online, some of which connected me with someone and some of which didn't.
I will use their services again on my next visit to Sierra Leone!
翻译:我们使用了 VSL 的两项服务:
1. 机场接送和前往弗里敦的船运——我帮几个同事预订了这项服务,一切都很顺利。我喜欢可以在线预订,而且他们提供不同的服务:送货上门、直接买船票,以及两者之间的所有服务。
2. 邦斯岛和塔索岛之旅——这次旅行很棒。Abudulai 是一位非常棒的导游,尤其是考虑到他正在斋月斋戒!他在邦斯岛之旅开始时的仪式非常感人,让人感受到对那里发生的一切的尊重。私人船也很棒。塔索岛的午餐很不错,是家庭式的——米饭、棕榈油酱(可选素食)、鸡肉/鱼肉/螃蟹混合菜,以及各种蛤蜊/软体动物,配苏打水和水。午餐很美味,但每人 15 美元的价格似乎有点高。之后去塔索岛的博物馆也很棒!那是一个很大的房间,里面摆满了各种信息和文物。我对这次旅行的高昂价格感到意外,但塞拉利昂的一切似乎都很贵。一定要带额外的现金(除了邦斯的门票),以便在各种参观中获得小费,并投入邦斯的捐款箱。
与 VSL 的沟通很顺畅。电子邮件是最有效的。网上公布了几个电话号码,有些能帮我联系到人,有些则没有。
下次我去塞拉利昂时还会使用他们的服务!
