点评:Our eight hour tour took twelve hours and more did not equal better. I felt like a captive in a van on a tour that wouldn't end. The driver took us 30 minutes out of the way to show us his favorite beach in the dark. Pointing to something we can't see doesn't have any value. From Marina Del Rey to San Pedro is a half hour, but it took us an hour because we went up to Torrance Beach and Rolling Hills. Wasted time.
The driver was a nice enough guy, he didn't tell us his name and just called us by the state we came from, but his conversation skills were not great for a tour guide. He said to ask him anything, and the first thing we ask, he had to Google. No problem, I appreciate he wanted to give us the right answer, but DON'T BE SEARCHING YOUR PHONE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING A VAN FULL OF PEOPLE! The driver was constantly looking at his phone and messing with it WHILE DRIVING. You might want to make sure that your driver's understand the California cell phone laws for distracted driving as he put us all in danger.
A few tips that would make the tour more enjoyable. WASH THE WINDOWS! When you have a van full of tourists who want to try to snap pictures as you drive by iconic locations, then having clean windows is super important. Next, plan a route. We back tracked and made pointless trips down side roads. I felt like we were just being driven around and there was no point. Do not expect to get great photos of your ride through the LA area. Another tip would be to have an actual script that the guide should stick to. I was tired of hearing "for the kids", who are these kids? Also every stop light he pointed to someone and asked the van if it was someone famous. It got old.
There were a few nice parts of the tour, the lunch at Mel's was nice. The stop at Venice Beach was very short but it was nice, but then after we went to a marina for a half hour to have a bathroom break, why? Could have spent that time at the ocean.
翻译:我们八小时的旅行花了十二个小时,而且时间越长并不等于越好。我感觉自己就像一个囚徒,被关在一辆货车里,进行着一场永无止境的旅行。司机绕道走了30分钟,在黑暗中向我们展示了他最喜欢的海滩。指向我们看不到的东西没有任何价值。从玛丽安德尔湾到圣佩德罗是一个半小时,但我们花了一个小时,因为我们去了托伦斯海滩和连绵起伏的山丘。浪费时间。
司机是一个很好的人,他没有告诉我们他的名字,只是按我们来自的州给我们打电话,但他的谈话技巧对于导游来说不太好。他说要问他任何事情,我们问的第一件事就是他必须谷歌。没问题,我很感激他想给我们正确的答案,但当你开着一辆满载人的货车时,不要搜你的手机!司机在开车时不断地看手机并乱搞它。您可能需要确保您的司机了解加州有关分心驾驶的手机法,因为他将我们所有人置于危险之中。
一些可以使旅行更加愉快的提示。清洗窗口!当您的货车满载游客并想在路过标志性地点时拍照时,那么干净的窗户就非常重要。接下来,规划路线。我们原路返回,沿着小路进行了毫无意义的旅行。我觉得我们只是被驱赶着,没有任何意义。不要指望在洛杉矶地区骑行时能拍到精彩的照片。另一个技巧是有一个指南应该遵循的实际脚本。我厌倦了听到“为了孩子们”,这些孩子是谁?而且每次红绿灯他都会指着某人并询问货车是否是某个名人。它变旧了。
这次旅行有一些不错的部分,梅尔餐厅的午餐很美味。在威尼斯海滩停留的时间很短,但是很好,但是当我们去了码头半小时去洗手间休息后,为什么呢?本来可以在海边度过那段时光。
