за все это нам (тур на двоих) насчитали 1641 американских баксов с каждого (размещение double)
Our tour guide and car will accompany two people during the whole tour. It is not a group tour. The itinerary and tour date is very flexible.
(Including all domestic flights, private English Speaking tour guide, private car, entrance tickets, meals, good three star hotels, etc)
так вот. вопросы к опытным людям:1)я до путеводителей Китая и отчетов пока не добралась, поэтому я не знаю, насколько этот тур будет интересен в плане sightseeing'а: природа, какие-то аутентичные вещи, религиозные памятники, красивые виды и так далее. нам , к примеру, интересно именно это
но возможно, описанные в программе тура достопримечательности на поверку окажутся унылыми.
из этого вытекает следующий вопрос:
2) а можно ли отталкиваться от этой программы для составления САМОСТОЯТЕЛЬНОГО ТРИПА?
Что убрать,а что добавить? вот так , навскидку..
в ноябре я уже буду зарываться в отчеты по Китаю, если мы на НГ выберем все-таки Китай. и из них еще что-то новое подчерпну. но и сейчас хочется чего-то знать про программу
3) сможем ли мы повторить эту программу САМИ? на общественном трнаспорте, БЕЗ МАШИНЫ, БЕЗ В/ПРАВ, со знанием только английского (+ фр + нем, которые в Китае неактуальны, я думаю)
4) насколько это получится дешевле и сложнее/проще?
к примеру, дабл в в первом отеле стоит в среднем 95 евро на двоих.
но мне вообще интересен в первую очередь общественный транспорт: доступность различных sight'ов с помощью оного
Спасибо!!
