A fun, interesting overview of historical district
Southern Carriage Tours的点评
点评:We had plans to take a different tour, but those were unavoidably cancelled. We decided to take this instead and were told to walk up between 9 and 9;30 "depending on the horse". We were lucky enough to meet Clyde and his driver - Clyde is a bit of a celebrity apparently. Our first stop was a bit longer than the driver's (sorry I did not get his name) story as a docent from the stop brought a guest out to help with Clyde's treat... a young girl visiting with her family - that was a highlight. The tour was about 45 minutes or bit longer and included several stops at mansions and historical sites with insights and anecdotes provided by the driver. It also included several places where Clyde was reluctant to move since treats were expected: however, he had to settle for an occasional carrot from the driver since we were on the first tour of the day and many of his sources were not yet at work. One stop was in front of an art gallery with a painting of Clyde in the window which we could not quite see from our vantage point. All in all, we enjoyed the tour, the narration was good. I deducted one bubble simply because there were a few places we passed that warranted a least brief comment and were ignored. For a quick overview of the historical district this tour was a fun, well narrated option. If you are traveling with younger kids, I think they would enjoy this immensely.
翻译:我们原本计划参加另一个旅行团,但那些行程无可避免地被取消了。于是我们决定改参加这个旅行团,被告知在9点到9点半之间步行前往,“具体时间取决于马匹的情况”。我们很幸运地遇到了克莱德和他的马夫——克莱德显然是个小名人。我们的第一站比马夫(很抱歉我没记住他的名字)的讲解时间要长一些,因为那里的讲解员带了一位游客出来帮忙给克莱德喂零食……那是一位和家人一起来的小女孩——这真是个亮点。整个行程大约45分钟或稍长一些,包括参观几处豪宅和历史遗址,马夫会讲解其中的见解和趣闻轶事。行程中也包括一些克莱德不太愿意走动的地方,因为大家都期待着零食:不过,由于我们是当天第一团,很多马匹还没开始工作,所以马夫偶尔会给它一根胡萝卜。其中一站是在一个美术馆前,橱窗里挂着一幅克莱德的画像,但我们从我们的位置看不太清楚。总的来说,我们很喜欢这次旅行,讲解也很好。我扣了一格,只是因为我们路过的一些地方,讲解员至少应该简单介绍一下,但却忽略了。如果想快速了解历史街区,这次旅行是个有趣且讲解清晰的选择。如果你带着年幼的孩子旅行,我想他们会非常喜欢。
