TTV tour operator bus tours official. Excursion tours to Europe, holidays abroad, prices

Good health to all employees of TourTransVoyage, direct and indirect, and to the guide Svetlana Naumovets! Tour 3AB, from 6.10 - 17.10, railway and air. This is my fourth bus train in Europe and my third with TTV. I had no doubts about the operator after the first time with Natalya Barankova “European Classics” and the second with Evgenia (? from Minsk) “Four Capitals + 2 Fjords”, which I already wrote about. This trip exceeded all expectations, beyond all praise. The organization of the tour, starting from the meeting at the Belorussky station, is clear, minute-by-minute, helpful, explanatory (already individually in the carriage). There were a lot of people behind this meeting, different employees of the company, and everyone did a great job. And along the entire route of the voyage, such professionalism was everywhere and in everything: the selection of car companies, their training in our mentality, the selection of hotels, pairs for accommodation, the choice of routes, cafes and toilets... - everything invisible to the eye made it possible to have a good rest (in We were accommodated in hotels in 10-12 minutes, a group of 51 people). Bravo TTV, all subsequent tours are only with you, and all my friends too. And now - the face, the title of our trip, our guide Svetlana Naumovets! I know that the TTV operator is fundamentally strict about the choice of accompanying guides, this is true, but Naumovets S. is a gift for everything. Beautiful, bright, visible from afar and very attentive, helpful, caring, with a good memory for her tourists. Excellent knowledge of the material on the tour and a lot of related stuff. Anticipating her arrival at the designated place, Svetlana N. gave a complete, detailed description, using her previous impressions. And it turned out that upon arriving at our destination we were well prepared in terms of historical and cultural perception. And listening to a licensed guide was easy and understandable. When the inspection and excursion ended, Svetlana N. so skillfully showed all the walking and metro directions for self-excursion that no one from such a large group had any problems. Just as they left, everyone arrived, alive and well, happy and joyful. Naumovets S. is a big fan of Italy, lived there, knows a lot more than was required for the tour and shared everything, passed everything through her great love for the country, presented the material brightly, with humor, with such small details, without which there would be no such charm . And what wonderful Russian speech! All the stress is in place, the correct alternation of complex and simple sentences, the tone - which influenced good and not tedious assimilation, and the interest of the public. Possessing good aesthetic taste, Svetlana correctly selected music and films after visiting cities, consolidating our impressions. I’ll be happy to watch the films I watched on the road at home. Svetlana N. has been cooperating with this operator for a long time and cleverly, tactfully, and wittily advertises all tours, inviting her for subsequent trips. And, imagine, I really want to return there and to other places with TTV. (So ​​I started...). And what a high-quality selection of licensed local guides! Yana - Rome; Nada - Venice; Lyuba - Capri; Larisa - Florence; Irina - Rome; Olga - Vienna. Each one gets better and better. This is also the work of managers from the company, to choose and cooperate. Everything is great, but the human factor is at the forefront, and this is Svetlana Naumovets. Svtochka, you have aroused in me a great desire to go to Sorrento, Bari, I’ll think about it. And hope to meet you. By the way, upon our return, I and all our tourists received wonderful photographs of the group by email from Svetlana. Good health to you, dear Svetlana and to all TTV employees. See you.

Holidays abroad the one you dreamed of

Dear tourists!
I want to write a little about Tourtransvoyage. Not a bad company, but very expensive. Therefore, let's look at the economic part of travel.
You bought a ticket and paid for the tour, paid for the hotel, office maintenance, employee salaries, fuel, fees……. profit. You paid everything for the tour to take place, got on the bus and went.
And fees begin on the bus, which are sometimes equal to the cost of the ticket. Let's take a closer look at what the money is being raised for.
1) FOOD
The accompanying person offers meals along the route. Let's look at a few examples. The first country is Poland and most TTV escorts offer lunch for 10 euros (rarely 8.0), but lunch costs 5 euros, the remaining 5.0 is the net income of the escort.
In Paris, dinner in the Latin Quarter costs 30 euros for a small menu, 36 for a large menu, and they collect 40 from tourists for a small menu and from 48 to 50 for a large menu.
In Germany, good food costs up to 15 euros, but prices range from 20 or more. For example, in the city of Rüdesheim, food costs 15 euros, but tourists pay 25 euros.
And so it is everywhere, in all countries. This is the case in Italy, Spain, the Czech Republic, etc. Agree, you get good money only because you don’t know the language and don’t know your way around. How is the rest of the world? There is a 10% tip: The calculation is simple, if lunch costs 15 euros, then it’s fair to pay 17 euros, but not 25.
2) Consider excursions.
Let's start with Berlin. A visit to the Reichstag is free, but TTV collects 5 euros and offers it as an excursion with a local guide. A local guide costs max 80 euros, the rest goes into the pocket of the accompanying person (on average there are 40 people on the bus). Local guides in cities cost on average from 80 to 120 euros. The guide takes everything else for himself. The more involved guides, the more income. It turns out to be a paradox: if a TTV guide leads a tour himself, then he only receives a salary, but if he hires a local guide at the expense of a tourist, then he has an income and relaxes in a cafe or goes shopping.
2) Look at museums, castles, palaces. Here the accompanying person buys tickets, but in groups, that is, cheaper than an individual ticket (group of approximately 20 people). If a guide is involved, then the cost will be = ticket price + 100 euros per guide for the group, the rest is the income of the guide or company.
3) WINE TASTINGS
They are free almost everywhere (France, Italy, Germany, Spain), but they charge you 5 euros. This is the income of the accompanying person. And they explain to you that this is how the tasting costs, but this is a lie.
4) ARRIVALS, TRANSFERS
Having bought a ticket, you paid for the transfer, but on the bus you are charged for the transfer almost everywhere. Example, Brussels. A trip to mini-Europe, Scheveningen is The Hague, but they charge 5 euros, etc. in all cities and countries.
The rides, and there are several of them, provide income for the attendant and a few drivers. The more races, the more income, so the accompanying people try to organize a large number of races at the expense of free time in the city according to the program.
5) SHOPS, WORKSHOPS AND OTHER TRADE.
There the escort receives his commission. They won't take you to a Brussels supermarket where they also have sweets. They will take you to a store near a peeing boy to earn money, although there are many similar stores nearby. And so is all organized trade in all countries and cities.
The accompanying person will earn several thousand euros for the tour and will not pay taxes, but will buy an apartment in Italy, Spain, Berlin, Minsk, Moscow, and send the children to study abroad.
I advise you to travel, but count your money, ask the guide to sign it, because they give you notebooks, select a piece of paper and have the guide write down the amount he charges for the excursion and sign it. This is the financial document you must have. TTV statements do not even go to the accounting department, they are for the company to control the guide if there is a conflict after the tour. The group can control the attendant's income, you can ask for checks. In Europe they give receipts everywhere, but they won’t show them to you, they will say that they didn’t give them, but this is a lie, because there are different prices, less than what they collected from you. And remember: you bought a tour and already paid for the work of the drivers and accompanying person. You don't owe them anything. They earn more in a tour than some of you make in a year. Be confident!
Have a nice trip and don't be fooled.

My last and most memorable trip with Turtrans-Voyage was in 2009. The tour was in Europe (2АВ): by train to Warsaw, then Germany, Belgium, France, Italy. It was the most fun and interesting trip. Accompanying guide Alla Vinogradova is the best guide!!! Polish drivers had fun all the way. The group was extremely close-knit, everyone helped each other. The trip was just wonderful. Thanks Turtrans! P.S.: The company has very interesting tour programs. I want to go... June 27, 2012

  • Review to Thailand We liked everything, thank you very much s/o glanzu for our unforgettable trip to Thailand! We visited three beaches - Kata, Kata Noi and Karon. We liked Kata Beach more than others. The entrance to the sea is gentle and gradual - an excellent option for families with children and for those who are poor swimmers. We had a blast. September 24, 2019
  • Review to Thailand We spent half our vacation in Pattaya, and the remaining half we lived in the coastal area, in the Bangkok area. Seminyak has a beautiful beach, clean, well-groomed, yes - with paid sunbeds, yes - not turquoise water, since there is not a calm ocean there, but running along the beach at sunset, when the tide is low, splashing in the already small waves is a nice thing! I would like to express my gratitude to the Glanzu service for organizing the tour and the services provided, for their responsiveness and efficiency and for their attention to us! The excursions were also unforgettable... September 23, 2019
  • Review to Thailand An unforgettable trip to Thailand with glanzu - an excellent tour operator. It is best to book combined tours: Bangkok + Pattaya or Pattaya + islands. Staying on the islands for two weeks is boring (unless you are an avid diver), and living for a long time in Bangkok also makes no sense. A huge metropolis with 10 million inhabitants, and, moreover, without a metro. 3-4 days is enough to get into the spirit of the “City of Angels” and visit the main attractions. Pattaya, however, deserves more attention... September 20, 2019
  • Review to Thailand Thank you glanzu for our wonderful time in Thailand. My wife and I were vacationing in Koh Samui - as it turned out, this is the main competitor of Phuket. This is a place for those who love a calm and secluded holiday. The beaches of Samui are sparsely populated and feel like you've stepped into a beautiful paradise straight out of a tourist brochure. Silence, tranquility, the opportunity to be alone with yourself or alone with your loved one, away from the hustle and bustle! I really liked Thailand, we will definitely return to this excellent...
