Travels, Tips for tourists
Reviews about tour operators and travel agencies
Everyone dreams of traveling. But as soon as the dreams turn into the stage of vacation planning, questions begin. And the first of them - which tour operator to choose. Most often it is from the company that organizes our vacation, and its quality depends.
Criteria for evaluating the work of a tour operator
As a rule, companies specialize in several areas. The tourist market is divided long ago and firmly. For travelers this is good, because it shows the great experience of managers. Reviews about tour operators usually record such aspects of vacation:
- The informative nature of the consultations at the preliminary planning stage;
- Reasonable price-quality ratio;
- Truthfulness, absence of concealment of important facts;
- Realization of the declared services.
Travelers love it when company representatives accompany their vacation. For example, organize a transfer and excursions. Foreign contacts of the firm should be strong. Reviews of tour operators usually affect the activities of the hotelier. When did they settle? Did you change the number to order? Is the hotel staff attentive? If the customer is unhappy, he puts forward claims to the tour operator.
The key to success is reliable information
We all want to get the maximum of services for our money. And we want to know exactly what awaits us on vacation. Everyone goes on vacation in anticipation of something unusual. And often it is disappointed. Reviews of tour operators indicate that the client may be dissatisfied with anything: the ordinary nature of the landscape outside the window, scant vegetation, the lack of watermelons in the restaurant. The traveler expects to see the revived handout. The tourists' comments are full of words: "everything is normal", "nothing special", "fed normally", "the sea as the sea".
In order for expectations not to be deceived, customers need to clearly list all the pros and cons of the resort. Reviews of tour operators indicate that this approach is worthwhile. Very often the lack of reliable information is the fault of agents selling vouchers. Companies organize tours for intermediaries, showing them hotels. This is done so that agents can tell clients in detail about the beach, restaurant, territory of a particular hotel. But the hotels are much more than the mediators who sell tickets have time to see. Therefore, the client often has to look for information about the resort on his own.
Traveling in your home country
Bus travel from Moscow organizes the tour operator "Rus". The reviews mark an excellent opportunity for a few days to visit a number of cities and get acquainted with all their sights. The company offers its clients tours for two, three, four and five days. You can visit St. Petersburg, Veliky Novgorod, Tula, Tver, Ryazan and other ancient cities.

What mistakes are most common?
How well do tour operators work? Reviews of tourists tell in detail about the positive and negative aspects of the holiday. Acquaintance with the company begins with the sales office. His employees are the face of the firm. A lot depends on their competence. These experts, having listened to the wishes of the customer, should provide him with a list of tours. It should include:
- Description of the hotel;
- Type of food;
- Flight characteristics.
Some users complain that company employees send them for information on the Internet. Not all specialists have knowledge about tours or hotels. Employees must constantly learn new information and develop sales skills. Otherwise, they quickly lose their professionalism.
But here the tour is chosen. The next step is the preparation of documents. Passports, visas, tickets - everything must be done on time. One of the most annoying mistakes of the tour operator is the delay in the documents. For example, a company employee promised to bring a passport with a visa to the airport, but did not have time. Such errors always cause a fair customer anger.
The flight was successful, and here it is - a long-awaited paradise. But in the native airport there is no representative of the tour operator or host. Local residents speak only their own language. Where can I find a shuttle bus? The lack of assistance when moving from airport to hotel is the second serious mistake.
The hotel also has problems, for example, there are no available seats. The task of the tour operator is to settle the client in another hotel. It is desirable that he has more stars. Deceived expectations of the traveler - the worst advertising for any tour operator.
