点评:Having retained driver/guides in over 7 countries, Sydney Tours and Andrew Sorokin were the worst we have experienced. We were charged for daily times of 8 to 10 hours yet never had more than 6 – a rip off. Mr. Sorokin interjected and dominated every conversation we had with his own social commentary and cockamamie theories. He interjected himself in our lunches, sitting down uninvited and ordering on our account. He ran a typical cruise run tour around Sydney harbour and would not entertain requests for specific sightseeing (like local arts). He gassed up his vehicle on our time (even though we didn’t start til 10 am) and parked us deep in a dank underground garage, rather than dropping us off near the sites. He selected a damp Hunter Valley winery for us to visit (clearly a buddy of his) which served terrible swill (they called “Hogwash”) and no facility to sit down. During a Botanical Garden visit in the pouring rain, he took one of two umbrellas for himself and let the four of us (including 2 women) got soaked sharing the remaining one. At one hotel he had us walk 2 blocks to his car in rain as he did not want us walking on grass before entering his van in case any residue grass got transferred from our shoes. While I was exiting from the back row of the van, he slammed the seat back on my left-hand causing abrasion and bruising, then on the last day repeated the effort on my right hand. Never an apology. Mislead us about the independent driver in Melbourne who he represented as his company. In spite of everything, one in our party left him a tip (a mistake) for which he never said thank you. Not what we expected. You will be sorely disappointed!
翻译:我们曾在 7 个国家聘请过司机兼导游,但悉尼旅游公司和安德鲁·索罗金是我们遇到过的最差的。我们每天被收取 8 到 10 小时的费用,但实际使用时间从未超过 6 小时——太坑人了。索罗金先生总是插话,用他自己的社会评论和荒谬理论主导我们的每一次谈话。他插话到我们的午餐时间,不请自来地坐下来,为我们点菜。他经营着一条典型的悉尼港游轮之旅,不会接受特定观光的请求(如当地艺术)。他按时给车加油(尽管我们早上 10 点才出发),把我们停在一个阴暗的地下车库深处,而不是把我们送到景点附近。他为我们选择了一个潮湿的猎人谷酒庄(显然是他的一个朋友),那里供应的都是糟糕的劣质品(他们称之为“胡说八道”),也没有坐下来的设施。在一次倾盆大雨中参观植物园时,他拿走了两把伞中的一把,让我们四个人(包括两个女人)共用剩下一把,浑身都淋湿了。在一家酒店,他让我们在雨中步行两个街区到他的车那里,因为他不想让我们在上车前走在草地上,以防我们的鞋子上沾上草屑。当我从车后排出来时,他猛地把座椅靠背砸在我左手上,导致我擦伤和淤青,然后在最后一天又在我的右手上重复同样的动作。从来没有道歉。误导我们关于他代表的墨尔本独立司机的信息。尽管如此,我们团里的一个人还是给了他小费(一个错误),但他从来没有说过谢谢。这不是我们所期望的。你会非常失望的!
