点评:We attended the Go South West tour with Happy Tours. This was our second tour with the company and we were delighted to have the same driver as our first visit - he greeted us like old friends, with a huge smile and a cheerful demeanour. The company were also happy and able to provide a booster cushion for our 6 year old, to ensure he was safe and could see clearly out of the mini bus windows.
This tour took in places like Ponta do Sol, Madalena do Mar, Calheta, Miradouro Farol da Ponta do Pargo and School Farm dos Prazeres. There were a mixture of experiences including the chance to see scarecrows from a village festival and seeing golden (imported) sands. As with all tours, there could have been minor improvements to the amount of time allotted to each area. We felt like we only touched upon the delights of Calheta before dashing back to the minibus to avoid holding up the tour. This is just one of those things, however, when enjoying an organised tour and cannot be helped.
Our guide gave us lots of useful information along the way and was full of personality and life. At the end, when making the drops to the various hotels and drop off points, he kindly drove the minibus right down the steep hill to our hotel entrance (from the road entrance above), which was a kind touch and was appreciated after the long day of exploring.
I wouldn't hesitate to book with Madeira Happy Tours in future and our two days spent with the company gave us many of the highlights of our holiday.
翻译:我们参加了Happy Tours的西南之旅。这是我们第二次参加他们的行程,很高兴第一次遇到的司机——他像老朋友一样热情地迎接我们,笑容灿烂,举止愉快。公司还很乐意为我们6岁的孩子准备一个增高坐垫,确保他的安全,并能清晰地透过小巴车窗看到外面。
这次行程经过了蓬塔杜索尔、马达莱娜杜马尔、卡列塔、蓬塔杜帕尔戈灯塔和普拉泽雷斯学校农场等地。体验丰富多彩,包括有机会看到乡村节日的稻草人,以及欣赏金色的(进口)沙滩。和所有行程一样,每个景点的游览时间安排还有待改进。我们感觉自己只是略微游览了卡列塔的景点,就匆匆忙忙地跑回小巴,以免耽误行程。然而,在享受有组织的旅行时,这种情况是不可避免的。
我们的导游一路上提供了很多实用信息,个性十足,充满活力。最后,在送我们去各个酒店和下车点时,他贴心地把小巴从陡峭的山坡直接开到我们酒店门口(从上面的公路入口),这真是贴心的举动,在漫长的一天探索之后,我非常感激。
以后我会毫不犹豫地预订马德拉快乐旅行社,在这家公司度过的两天,让我们的假期充满了许多精彩。
