Omega Travel Group Review 欧美嘉国际旅游网点评

欧美嘉国际旅游网 – 英国站， 英国旅游 http://www.omegatravel.net/?uktours

欧美嘉是曾经在英国生活几年的朋友介绍的，由中国人经营。

因为价格廉宜，我无法不选择它。

出发前 6 个星期在网上订购 - 英国循环七日游 £358/RM2064 http://www.omegatravel.net/?route/trip/id/75

价格包含 

1. 交通：欧美嘉专属旅游车队，提供 17-63 座数十辆各类豪华旅游巴士

2. 6 晚住宿：三星级为主酒店，标准双人间、三人间

3. 早餐：酒店提供精美欧陆式自助早餐

4. 导游：资深中文国语领队

5. 司机：专职外籍司机

价格不含

1. 景点门票：本团为半自助性质旅游团，无任何变相购物或强制游览，请自主选择购买景点门票

2. 司导小费：(标准每人每天 2 英镑) 

3. 旅游保险

4. 午、晚餐：在旅游过程中，我们的导游会向您推荐地道美味的当地餐馆，也会向您介绍实惠高效的快餐店，用餐消费自主选择，丰简由个人

优点:

价格廉宜，英国交通和酒店住宿昂贵，跟团有巴士接送，省去找路搬行李的麻烦

在伦敦自己订的酒店一晚价格 RM360 ，没电梯，厕所还是在外面的；跟团住的酒店质素好，房间、厕所都宽敞，但位置在小镇，不在大城市

必须知道:

欧美嘉团为什么便宜？

因为跟团的人数非常多， 单层巴或双层巴载 50-63 人，薄利多销的道理

欧美嘉团运作方式:

-         欧美嘉在出发前一天才发出团确认信，让我非常担心若人数不够的话，可能会取消，对英国旅游毫没准备加上没有酒店住宿的话，也不知会有什么后果，真让人提心吊胆。结果证明无需担心人数问题，但非常希望 欧美嘉可以一或两星期前就确认出团。

-         第一天在 Euston Station 的集合时间是 8am，930am 导游和旅巴才抵达，原因是路上有车祸造成严重堵车，欧美嘉发出的导游资料不正确，幸好有其他团友有电话互相帮忙询问，一起等待了一个半小时，真是个乱七八糟的开始

-         我参加的是最长的英国 7 天团，7 天里竟然分别有参加 1，3，5，7 天团的团友

-         7 天团里有分别在 London Euston Station 和 Manchester 上巴士的人，最后两天有在 Luton 酒店出发的人，再去 London Euston Station，时间就会浪费在要抵达不同的接送地点，还有繁忙时间堵车

-          最后两天住 Luton 的酒店

1.       Stonehenge 和 Bath 1日游 - 出发时间 7am，但有团员搞错时间，因为之前多数的出发时间是 730am。结果 720am 出发，上班繁忙时间要堵车到伦敦去，9am 才抵达 London Euston Station，所以说订在 8am 在 London Euston Station 集合，根本就是不可能准时出发的，浪费别人的时间在那里干等，也浪费 7am 就已经准备好要出发的人的时间

2.       London II 线 1 日游 – 出发时间 730am，绝对不可能 8am 抵达 London Euston Station 的，和昨天一样还是让其他的团友在 London Euston Station 干等，然后导游就会解释迟到的原因 - 堵车

景点游览时间有限，有的地方需付门票进入，不够时间慢慢的观赏，必须要快且守时。如果觉得时间不够，就不用买票入内，只在外面或附近的商店逛逛

团员多也就表示上厕所的人多，所以行动要快

长时间乘坐巴士，可准备水果零食在巴士上吃

参观和午餐时间是一起的，必须自己安排要牺牲参观时间或用餐时间。可外带或自己准备简便的午餐在巴士上吃，当然必须确保卫生干净，不可在巴士里吃热食或气味重的食物

晚餐入住了酒店后自行解决，可选择在酒店餐厅用餐，味道很好，价钱不会太贵，或可外出找附近的餐馆用餐，若附近有中餐馆，导游会告知

有待改进行程：

乘车 4 个小时到 Loch Nech （尼斯湖），后又乘车 4 个小时离开。为了一个 Loch Nech 景点需花费一整天的时间，建议这个行程可以拿掉

有一天只到剑桥 Cambridge 一个景点，最早抵达酒店的一天，希望可以路途加入一两个景点，感觉会更充实

有团友买蜡像馆门票，被安排在 London II 线 1 日游里根本是不够时间参观的，很多城市已经有蜡像馆，没什么新鲜的。蜡像馆门票千万别买了，可以在行程里除掉

第一次欧洲之旅小遗憾

巴黎

• 地铁站只有楼梯，没电梯，必须提着 17kg 行李爬楼梯，真是累坏了
• 住 3 晚的酒店没有冷气，有风扇，有时会觉得闷热
• 没有吃到蜗牛
• 没有吃到 Macaroon – 但看到也不是真的很想吃，一想到甜就没有购买欲，那么小一颗价钱也真贵的
• 没有看到巴黎塔夜景 – 夏天去欧洲旅游，日长夜短，要看夜景必须挨到 930pm 后，真不容易呀，走了一整天，也想早点回酒店休息
• 变幻莫测的天气，时而下雨，时而艳阳高照，最辛苦是太阳猛烈的下午走 Champs-Élysées 香榭丽舍大道，一直流汗呀
• 没有上到 Basilique du Sacre Coeur 聖心堂， 没有鸟瞰到巴黎塔

英国

• 第一晚住酒店第三楼，没有电梯加狭小的楼梯，上下搬了两次行李，非常累，肚子还不舒服了
• 没有鸟瞰kàn 伦敦 – 应该要去坐坐伦敦眼的
• 没有去到 Oxford Street 伦敦著名的购物商圈街道
• 没有买到苏格兰羊毛包 - 错过了卖最便宜的店，之后看到的价格都比较贵
• 没有买到剑桥包- 只有小型号的包包开口是纽扣，中型和大型号的都是打开很麻烦的表带款，售货小姐说包包还在改进中，目前纽扣承受不住中型和大型号开口；另外漆皮也必须要有特别保养，以防久用后会龟裂
• 没有看到苏格兰满天星夜景 - 原因同上，日常夜短，晚上十点才天黑，已经赖在床上，根本不想出去嘛
• 苏格兰的天气多数阴天
• Omega 巴士的窗户希望可以擦得干净明亮些，路上风景会更好看，不会那么让人昏昏欲睡
• 没有付费进 Roman Baths
• 在 Trafalgar Square 闲逛拍照，不知道原来可以免费进入 National Galleries 参观（后来团友告知）

瑞士

• Interlaken 好像还瞒大的，有一些河边和主要街道没有步行到，也没去到赌场
• 没有吃到 Coop 烤鸡和小羊扒 – Interlaken 和 Zermatt 的 Coop 超市都找不到烤鸡，回国后才知道Interlaken OST Coop 的熟食餐在楼上，这就是不开口询问的后果
• 没有吃到 Zermatt Wilde Hilde 烤鸡 – 第一晚抵达 Zermatt 吃了芝士锅，还有经过店的，是计划第二天才吃烤鸡的，结果第二天是周一没营业，哭。。。
• 有点搞错了 Matterhon (4478m) 的方向，火车会经过一段路能看到 Matterhon，但抵达Gornergrat (3089m) 的话就有点远看到 Matterhon比较小，运气不好云遮住了就看不见Matterhon ，但当然 Gornergrat 的景色非常棒。如果要更靠近 Matterhon 应该走这个坐缆车的路线: Zermatt -> Furi -> Schwarzsee -> Trockener Steg -> Matterhorn Glacier Paradise/Klein Matterhorn  (3883m)
• 没有坐到缆车
