点评:I booked this tour directly with the operator and would like to share my experience factually so future travelers can make an informed decision.
I paid in advance for a multi-day tour that specifically included a Lalibela visit (USD 350 as part of the total package).
After payment, I was informed that the Lalibela portion would be changed to a different destination (Tigray churches). This change was communicated without my prior agreement.
While trying to resolve this change, the flights I had planned to purchase for Lalibela became unavailable due to scheduling constraints. As a result, I requested to cancel only the Lalibela portion five days in advance.
However:
• The partial cancellation was declined.
• No written cancellation policy was provided.
• No confirmed meeting time or hotel details for Lalibela were shared in writing.
• Communication relied mainly on phone calls rather than clear written instructions.
During this exchange, a passport photo was also sent to me via WhatsApp without explanation, which I found concerning from a data privacy and professional standpoint.
I am not commenting on intent, only on what occurred.
I recommend future travelers ensure that itinerary changes, cancellations, and logistics are clearly confirmed in writing before payment.
翻译:我直接通过旅行社预订了这次旅行,想如实分享我的经历,以便其他旅行者能够做出明智的选择。
我提前支付了多日游的费用,其中明确包含拉利贝拉之旅(总价350美元)。
付款后,我被告知拉利贝拉的行程将改为另一个目的地(提格雷教堂)。这一变更事先并未征得我的同意。
在试图解决这一变更的过程中,由于航班安排的限制,我原计划购买的拉利贝拉航班无法预订。因此,我提前五天提出仅取消拉利贝拉行程。
然而:
• 部分取消请求被拒绝。
• 没有提供书面取消政策。
• 没有以书面形式确认拉利贝拉的集合时间和酒店信息。
• 沟通主要依赖电话,而非清晰的书面指示。
在此过程中,旅行社还通过WhatsApp向我发送了一张护照照片,但未作任何解释。从数据隐私和职业操守的角度来看,我认为这令人担忧。
我无意评论意图,仅评论已发生的事情。
我建议未来的旅客在付款前务必确保行程变更、取消和具体安排均以书面形式明确确认。
