Just came back from the leavenworth tour; my worst tour in my life.
Bad thing about super:vacation tour:
1. do not go with supervacation tour; they already know the custom would take long and they still pick people at 8; it took us 4 hours to cross the border; my last tour guide picked us half hour earlier because he was afraid the wait time and that what this tour guide should have done.
2. The tour guide has no concept about time; when she said we should be there in 2 hours; it usually means 3-3.5 hours; even she said she had been there many times;
3. They had no idea what they were doing and we ended up missed one spot in the itinerary;
for Leavenworth itself, it was not bad with all the lights. Too bad it was raining instead of snowing. The photos did not look good. Like all the European style of building. Enjoy the shops there too.
yes, i've been there. we drove to everett and then took the train ride to leavenworth. this train ride is available on only 3 saturdays in dec. during the train ride, it comes with breakfast on the way to leavenworth and dinner on the way back, and drinks in between. they have ppl playing music, singing, magic, santa was on the train to entertain us. it was fun.
when we arrive the train station in leavenworth, we took those yellow school bus to leavenworth. it was only a 5 min bus ride. and it's included in the train cost. we were there to walk around to feel the town, and to eat. and then at 4:30pm, it was the xmas lighting ceremony. it was very christmas-y. and then we took the yellow school bus back to the train station and rode the train back to everett station. it was a one day trip
we had the pork hocks with german dark/black beer. it was good. but reminds me of chinese roasted pork.
we didn't go with those chinese tours but of course it's cheaper to do it that way.
Thanks for the review.
For local tour, I tend to join翠明. I have joined a few times, quality is quite consistent. Everything organized and accomodation/food both not bad.
That's sound really interesting wor!!! Could you please give more info? What kind of train tour is that? I did a bit searching and don't seem to find it! THANKS!
