点评:My husband and I had never a done a tour before (we’d always travelled independently and we have travelled a lot!). But for various reasons, we decided to break that trend when we visited Georgia. And we are extremely glad that we did. What we had with Simon Tours was one of our most memorable trips ever. And that was not just because Georgia is such a beautiful country with a fascinating ancient history and an equally old, multi-faceted culture. It was also because of the input of our very knowledgeable and extremely likeable guide, Iamze. She’s a history scholar who has the great talent of being able to bring stories from the past to life in those very places where it all happened. There was no question she couldn’t answer – and we asked a very large number of questions! She is also an amazingly competent driver who negotiates what are at times quite treacherous roads with great skill and never taking a risk. We felt very safe with her at the wheel.
We also very much appreciated how easy all the correspondence and organization was – right from the very first email. During the tours themselves (we went to Kazbegi and Kakheti) everything went like clockwork. Iamze was invariably on time and always did exactly what she said she was going to do. And there was always room for flexibility and catering to particular interests as well. All in all, we got so much more out of the tours than we had ever imagined.
Thank you so much, Iamze, and Simon! We’re looking forward to our next tour with you next spring (hopefully).
翻译:我和丈夫以前从未参加过旅行团(我们一直都是自行安排行程,而且旅行经历相当丰富!)。但出于种种原因,我们在游览格鲁吉亚时决定打破这一惯例。我们非常庆幸自己做了这样的决定。与Simon Tours共同度过的这段旅程堪称我们一生中最难忘的旅行之一。这不仅仅是因为格鲁吉亚是一个风景优美、拥有迷人古老历史以及历史悠久且多元文化气息的国家。这也要归功于我们那位学识渊博又极其可爱的导游伊姆泽。她是一位历史学者,拥有一种非凡的才能:能够在历史事件发生的地点把那些往事生动地展现出来。没有她回答不了的问题——而我们提出的问题数量可相当多呢!此外,她还是一位技艺精湛的司机,能够熟练应对有时相当危险的路况,且从不冒任何风险。有她在开车,我们感到非常安心。
我们还十分感激整个沟通与安排过程是如此顺畅——从第一封邮件开始便是如此。在旅行期间(我们去了卡兹贝吉和卡赫蒂),一切都井然有序。Iamze总是准时出现,也始终兑现了她的承诺。此外,她还很愿意灵活调整行程以满足我们个人的兴趣与需求。总而言之……我们从这些旅行中收获的远远超出了我们的预期。
非常感谢Iamze和Simon!我们期待着明年春天能再次与你们一起旅行(希望如此)。
