点评:We had a lot of issues with this experience. After walking 13.5 miles the first day we were placed at a B&B that was in the middle of nowhere with no place to eat. We had to take a taxi to and from another town to get something to eat. We placed in a B&B where we had to share bathrooms. The people who owned the B&B were very nice but the place wasn’t clean and sharing the bathroom was not acceptable. After the amount we paid. Active England did give me a $100 refund. I have been unable to check my credit card to see whether or not it actually occurred.
All of the hiking when much longer than our itinerary, and very few of the B&Bs were clean and nice. We did have a couple that were nice. There were also some of the B&Bs that had no food and we were expected to take a taxi to find food. After walking all day, this really isn’t acceptable. We either need to have restaurants close to us or available food at our B&B.
Twice our luggage was very late. One evening it was 8 o’clock. We had walked all day in the rain and we were filthy and wet. Another day it was 6 o’clock and again we were tired and filthy. Active England did give us free drinks the evening we didn’t get our luggage until six. We weren’t sure that the communication we were receiving from active. England was accurate because they told us one thing and then the courier or the B&B owners would tell us something else.
We have arranged these types of hikes ourselves on the Camino and we found it to be a much better experience. Our experience was that active England does not appear to understand the walking/hiking business.
We did not see our guide after the very first day. He told us that he would not be available to us after that.
翻译:这次体验给我们带来了很多问题。第一天我们走了13.5英里后,被安排住进一家地处偏僻之地的民宿,周围根本没有可以吃饭的地方。我们不得不打车往返于另一个城镇才能弄到吃的。入住的民宿里需要我们共用卫生间。民宿老板人很好,但房间并不干净,而且共用卫生间实在让人无法接受。考虑到我们支付的高额费用,Active England最终给我退还了100美元。我无法查看我的信用卡记录,以确认这笔消费是否真的发生了。
所有的徒步路线都比原定行程要长得多,而且很少有民宿既干净又舒适。不过我们确实遇到了几家不错的民宿。还有一些民宿干脆不提供食物,我们不得不乘坐出租车去寻找吃的。走了一整天后,这种情况实在让人难以接受。我们应该要么住在附近有餐厅的地方,要么让民宿提供食物。
我们的行李有两次都严重延误。一天晚上,时间已经是8点了。我们在雨中走了一整天,浑身又脏又湿。还有一天,时间是6点,我们依旧疲惫不堪且浑身脏污。就在我们直到6点才拿到行李的那个晚上,Active England确实给我们提供了免费饮料。我们不确定从Active England那里得到的信息是否准确,因为他们说的和快递员或民宿老板说的常常不一致。我们自己在圣地亚哥朝圣之路上安排过这类徒步行程,发现体验要好得多。以我们的经验来看,活跃的英格兰似乎并不懂徒步旅行这一行当。
第一天之后我们就再也没见到导游。他告诉我们,此后他便无法为我们提供服务了。
