点评:We did the self guided short walk through the Cotswolds this past September (2025). We very much enjoyed the hike and accommodations but disappointed in the tour company itself.
Very poor communications from them before trip, during trip, and when issues arose, after the trip.
They over charged me at first (refunded after I noted this). They booked 1 bed for the two of us when I requested twins or doubles for my friend and I. I did not receive copies of any of my booking information and only receipts for payments and specific itineraries after I requested a couple of times.
We never saw a guide (self guided-but no check ins or responses to calls during trip)
We saw one guide for the first 15 minutes of our tour.
The app we used to navigate was hard to use and we met several of the hikers who had briefly gotten lost on it as we did. This meant we walked additional mileage. Although, this was not too much of a problem, the mileage quoted initially was not really reflective of the actual mileage we went. It was actually quite a bit more than quoted for most of the daily hikes.
Overall the trip was great; however that did not have so much to do with tour group but rather was due to the gracious accommodation hosts and locals in each stopover.
翻译:我们去年九月(2025年)参加了科茨沃尔德的自助短途徒步之旅。我们非常享受徒步过程和住宿,但对旅行社本身感到失望。
他们在行前、行中以及出现问题后的沟通都非常糟糕。
他们一开始多收了我的钱(在我指出后退还了)。我明明要求我和朋友入住双床房或大床房,他们却只给我们预订了一张床。我没有收到任何预订信息的副本,在我多次要求后才收到付款收据和具体的行程安排。
我们全程没有见到导游(自助游——但旅途中没有签到,也没有人接听电话)。
我们只在行程开始的15分钟内见到了一位导游。
我们用来导航的应用程序很难用,我们遇到了好几个和我们一样因为这个应用程序而迷路的徒步者。这意味着我们多走了几英里。虽然这不算什么大问题,但最初告知的里程数与我们实际行走的里程数并不相符。实际上,大多数日常徒步行程的费用都比报价高出不少。
总的来说,这次旅行很棒;但这与其说是旅行团的功劳,不如说是每个停留点热情好客的住宿主人和当地人的功劳。
