Valoración de los Clientes

Buenos días.Soy de Puerto Rico y a finales del mes de diciembre tuve la oportunidad de realizar un viaje a  Canadá específicamente a Montreal y Quebec. Siempre he creído, y confirmado en todos mis viajes, que por mejor que sea el destino quién hace del viaje uno inolvidable es la responsabilidad del operador y la dinámica del guía. Este viaje que realicé  ha sido uno de los mejores gracias a la mejor guía que he tenido que fue JOëlle. Su conocimiento, su manera de integrarse al grupo, sus deseos de que lo pasaramos bien sin contratiempos, su familiaridad, el uso de la tecnología le dieron un toque especial y maravilloso al viaje. Me pareció que la conocíamos de años. Entiendo que este fue el sentir del grupo. Quiero también hacer constar del excelente chofer cuyo nombre no recuerdo quien siempre estuvo dispuesto a ayudarnos.

Muchas gracias por un viaje que siempre será recordado. Reciban mis deseos de éxito en su gestión empresarial.

Estimados. He formado parte del Grupo proveniente de Córdoba _ Argentina del Operador Mayorista Jazz, a cargo del Sr. Sergio García Crespo para todo el trayecto. Quiero expresar mi satisfacción por el Circuito y destacar la conducción de Sergio, con un conocimiento de historia y descripción de los lugares, admirable. Unido todo eso a la dosis de humor en anécdotas y narraciones. Con capacidad para transmitir seguridad y confianza al numeroso grupo que le tocó conducir. Siempre de buen humor, y bien predispuesto.

Entre los días 20 y 31 de agosto de 2019 realizamos el circuito “Maravillas del oeste”. Resultó una experiencia enriquecedora. Los servicios de la empresa fueron cumplidos con alto nivel. En ese sentido debo destacar el desempeño de nuestro guía Gonzalo Prado y Jesús como excelente operador del ómnibus. Gonzalo colmó nuestras expectativas por su eficiencia, conocimientos, dedicación y humanidad en el trato.

Estimados señores: Por medio de la presente, queremos manifestarles nuestra gran satisfacción por la excursión realizada a Boston, el día 21 del corriente.Tanto el guía a cargo Sr. Fernando Vela, como así también el conductor del vehículo, han logrado con su cordialidad y su preparación una excelente jornada, que permitió informarnos de un montón de conocimientos. Sin otro particular, aprovechamos para saludarlos a ustedes muy cordialmente.

  • DebbJ 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to get oriented to Moscow We started our Moscow experience with the hop on hop off. It was a great way to get orientated to the city. The additional optional tours were also good, we did the Metro tour which I highly recommend, we also paid for the Kremlin tour. The hop on hop off has three different lines all included. Only fault was the bus was sometimes full and you had to wait for the next one which was about 15 minutes (in the cold). Read more Written January 6, 2020

They suggested we do the 1 hour boat trip and said they would drop us to the dock. 1) they dropped us in the wrong place 2) they were lost because of the marathon Then the boat, after we finally found it: 1) stinking fumes, actually gagging 2) no commentary, in fact, no interaction unless you begged 3) offered us 2 for 1 icecreams as they had melted and refrozen as the fridge gets turned off at night Honestly, we enjoyed the afternoon in the boat but spent all of it laughing at just how awful it was!!!

  • niruDurbs 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Not the best value for the price The ticket is quite expensive and covers three different routes in a 24 hour period. The red route is quite exciting and takes about an hour. The bus comes every 10 to 15 minutes. However the other two routes take about two hours each and buses come every 30 to 40 minute period. If the bus is full then you have to wait at the stop for the next bus. So personally I feel that not much can be seen this way. I definitely was not impressed. However it must be noted that one can learn a lot about the history of Moscow Read more Written July 3, 2019

It was extremely warm when we were there and it would have been great to do the tour in the cool of the day. There was also no air conditioning in the down stairs part of the bus.

  • WilliamDyer 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Poor service on boat and too many waiting times on buses For the price, you should expect at minimum English speaking tour guides with decent experience, but at least in my case that did not happen both in buses and boats. And in the boat even tough we were 90% English speaking tourist at least, the tour guide spoke 95% of the time in Russia, and only 3 sentences in English, I really counted how many times she spoke in English. And at the end she asks us if we have any questions? Of course I told her I couldn’t ask her anything since I didn’t understand 95% of what she was saying. The boat tour is not worth it, just take the bus that would be my advice. Second minus is the waiting times, in the boat they made us wait an hour before it departed, and in many stops with the buses waiting times of 20-30 minutes. I actually think I lost that day around 2 hours doing nothing. Be careful. Read more Written July 10, 2018

Moscow: City Sightseeing by Car/Bus

Visiting a new city is akin to going on a first date, it is something you will never forget. Many people imagine Moscow as just a bunch of sporadic landmarks: Red Square, the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum and GUM. There is so much more to this wonderful city than that and even though we only have a few hours, we will do all we can to show you everything we know and love about our capital in one fell swoop. We will take you on a journey through the ages, from centuries ago, right up to the modern day, soaking in the sights of this vast and bustling metropolis. Bright, luxurious and both ancient and modern at the same time, Moscow invites you on a date you’ll never forget!

On our sightseeing bus tour of the city, you will see:

  • The wonderfully historic city centre and its unique museums, magnificent cathedrals, the exquisite Chambers of the Romanov Boyars and of course, the famous towering red brick walls of the Kremlin, The charming beauty of the Alexander Garden awaits the capital's guests - a lush green oasis in the midst of the glass and concrete clad metropolis, basking in the etherial aura emanating from the whitewashed stone walls of the restored Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the world- renowned fairytale onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral and other impressive monumental buildings such as the library built in Lenin's honour - the Russian State Library - and the State Duma.
  • The Lubyanka KGB headquarters is notorious to members of older generations and although nowadays, the face of the secret police has changed dramatically, the looming enigmatic building on the waterfront maintains its aura of mystery, shrouded in a variety of murky rumours and dark myths. Then, there’s another of Moscow's main attractions - the marvellous Bolshoi Theatre, yew simply cant leave Moscow without taking in its breathtaking architecture. Engrained in the fabric of Russia's cultural heritage, virtuoso performers such as prima ballerina Galina Ulanova, opera singer Feodor Chaliapin and pianist, composer and conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff once stood centre stage of this vaunted institution.
  • The memorial complex on Poklonnaya Hill was constructed in the glory and honour of our heroes who defended our nation in the many crucial battles of the Great Patriotic War (WWII). This is a place that embodies a particularly acute and inextricable link between older ancf younger generations. Moving on to the Moscow International Business Centre, not dubbed ‘Moscow City' for nothing, a true glimpse of the future in the present. This incredible, rather jaw-dropping project in the capital has shown that Moscow has come to accept the age of the skyscraper. Finally, the stunning views from the observation deck at Sparrow Hills will leave professional and amateur photographers alike itching to capture them. How could one resist?

10 ways to embrace L.A. as a bus city instead of a car city

la-wk-bus-ride-essay_dropcap_T.png

There is something about getting on a bus in L.A. that puts transport — in the mystical and joyous sense — into transportation. I take public transit a lot, but have ridden the bus this week even more than I usually do. I have traveled from my home base in Mar Vista to Encino, Montrose and Panorama City as I continue my quest to play tennis at every public court in L.A. County. I also have gone to the gym and physical therapy in Culver City; a book club meeting at the Rancho Park library; a bar in Chinatown where the DJ was spinning soul classics on vintage audio; and a mutual aid pop-up at a homeless encampment in West L.A.

For me, bus-riding is more than transit. It’s a creative adventure. Here’s how I open my mind to see L.A. as a bus city instead of a car city.

Use the bus stop as a launch pad

The adventure begins as soon as I exit my house and bypass my car. “I am a voyager upon the planet,” I often intone to myself, as if I were a character in a science fiction epic and not just a guy walking to the bus stop. This is because I am not just a guy walking to a bus stop. I am a voyager upon the planet.

The pre-bus stop phase is also the time to plan your route. Mapping apps are one of the major blessings of the internet. They tell you where to go and when the bus will arrive. There is no need anymore to stand in the street and gaze forlornly at the horizon; at least, not when you are waiting for the bus.

Open my mind to new visions of kindness

I also use my phone to pay the senior citizen fare, a new thing for me after I turned 62 in July. Seventy-five cents for peak travel and 35 cents off-peak helps me appreciate aging as a bargain.

Aug. 26, 2022

I say a hearty hello to the bus operator even though they rarely match my enthusiasm. No offense taken. Bus operators have a lot going on. They are not just driving but also maintaining order and caring for people with different kinds of mobility. Whenever a bus operator lowers the ramp to let on someone who uses a wheelchair, then makes sure that that person is secure — this is a public performance of caring and kindness.

There are no bad seats

Having paid my fare, I navigate a corridor of seated people mostly with eyes locked on their phones. My goal is usually not to bump anyone with my gigantic tennis bag. People do not take kindly to being bumped on the bus, nor should they.

The closer I get to the back of the bus, the more likely I am to encounter an orphaned empty fifth of vodka or 40-ounce can of beer. The back of the bus is also where you are most likely, once seated, to encounter a passenger rolling a blunt. Rarely if ever smoking, but very often rolling, with tenderness. That is their way of enjoying the ride.

My way is different.

Feel the noise

Rumble, wheeze, groan, roar, whoosh, clank, thud, creak and repeat — this, for me, is the onset of bus reverie. I’m relieved to be on the move with zero responsibility for doing anything but sitting there doing nothing , one of my favorite pastimes. I bask calmly while my seat subtly vibrates.

Look away from my phone to see the big picture

If I resist the lure of the 4-inch phone screen, I can immerse my senses instead in a 40-foot or longer rolling panorama of Los Angeles. This is always magnificent but, of course, not always pretty. Encampments, tents, tarpaulins, people in tatters staggering in the street. The bus is a self-guided tour of squalor and inequity. I can’t say I love this, but I do hear a call to action.

Simultaneously, there is splendor from the rainbow-colored umbrellas of fruit vendors to the shade of magnolia trees and the glass brick of Streamline Moderne homes. Every bus ride is a massive single continuous shot of L.A., including everything that breaks your heart and makes your spirit soar about this city.

Take the road not taken

I love it when the bus follows a route I would never take in my car. Put me on the 761 Sylmar bypassing the 405, taking Sepulveda instead, threading underneath the freeway and coming up into the craggy foothills of Bel-Air, the bushy chaparral harking back to the ecology of the land before the city.

These bus-savvy routes show that the way things are is not necessarily the way they have to be. I take this inspiration from the G Line zooming along almost-secret bus lanes east-west through the Valley and the Silver Line zooming incognito as it parallels the 10 from City Hall to the El Monte Transit Center, where there is a giant statue of a bumblebee.

Find the inside-out light

Another mind-altering element of bus transport is how the interior lights of the bus reflect in the window as you gaze outward. This inside-out light reminds me of blues musician Reverend Gary Davis Jr. singing, “Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world.”

This effect is especially powerful at night, for example when the inner light of the 71 heading downtown from Westwood passes through Beverly Hills, accenting the ruby red glamour of the Beverly Hilton sign and spotlighting the Waldorf Astoria’s platinum one.

Move ahead with enthusiasm

The momentum of bus riding has carried me to 135 of the 240 public tennis courts in L.A . County , and whenever I’m riding the bus, I feel that it is not just possible but also highly heck yeah! that I will successfully publish a book about these adventures.

When have you ever driven anywhere in L.A. and felt more confident, enthusiastic, upbeat and capable of achieving a dearly held life goal?

The bus makes me feel this way every time.

Adapt when you’re annoyed

I bring a book and, especially, headphones for when I need to offset the one thing I really do not like about riding the bus, which is when somebody is talking on their phone or playing their music too loud.

One day, I was riding along feeling so full of bus-induced wonder that I wondered what would happen if I were to email the L.A. Philharmonic and asked for suggestions of classical music that would replicate my beloved bus noises. What happened was that the orchestra emailed me back a Spotify playlist featuring instrumental music with transportation themes.

I am enjoying it right now while the rude person across from me enjoys their rudeness.

Say thank you

Many are thoughtful passengers who thank the bus operator as they exit. Often, you will hear the bus operator call back, “You’re welcome.” This civility made me wonder whether I could talk with a bus driver about things they notice that passengers don’t think about. When I inquired, L.A. Metro connected me with Juan Navarro, a bus driver with 25 years’ experience who is the three-time champion of the Roadeo, an annual test of bus operator skills.

He told me that what passengers probably don’t notice is how the bus operator is trying to pull up about a foot away from the curb, not so close as to pop a tire nor so far away to let an oncoming truck take off your mirror. Simultaneously, operators are looking after their passengers. Navarro is especially concerned about older passengers being seated before he accelerates. He says, “I don’t want anyone falling.”

Woman hit by city bus reaches $2.5M settlement with city, company

H ONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A woman who survived after being run over by a city bus in 2021 has reached a $2.5 million settlement with the bus company and the city.

The settlement comes two and a half years after the incident. A city bus struck 62-year-old Di Lu as she crossed Liliha Street at the Bates Street intersection in the crosswalk.

Her family says her story should remind drivers how a moment of inattention can bring years of suffering — for everyone involved.

Video from inside the bus shows driver Abraham-Alfred Aurio reclined back in his seat, holding the steering wheel with one hand as he drives mauka on Liliha Street.

Other cars stop as Lu crosses from the opposite side.

Aurio seems to spot Lu just a second before the bus strikes her and swerves slightly before the collision. There is a loud bang and Lu is sent flying in front of the bus, which continues over her.

Aurio yells “Damn it” as he shuts down the bus and runs to check on Lu.

Remarkably, she survived although she was initially in critical condition.

Jeff Gau, Lu’s son, said he hopes his mother’s experience is a lesson for all drivers.

“I’m just hoping that people are more focused when they drive and not dozing off,” he said. “As this could happen to anybody.”

Lu’s disabling injuries still plague her today.

“My mom’s doing a little bit better, but not too much. Like, she’s still in pain,” Gau said.

It’s amazing she survived at all.

The bus was going about 30 mph.

The impact threw Lu about 80 feet, according to the police report. She was trapped under the axle of the 30,000-pound vehicle and had to be extricated by Fire Department responders.

While Lu endured recovery and rehab, the family struggled with the legal process, Gau said.

“I thought it would settle a lot sooner. And appointments just kept coming one after another. And it was just really hard,” he said..

A quicker resolution seemed reasonable — with the bus cameras showing Lu clearly visible and clearly crossing legally, a police finding of driver inattention as the cause, and the driver’s personal driving record, which included a 93 mph excessive speeding case.

The city says drivers’ abstracts are reviewed annually, but the family’s attorney, Robert Miyashita, said it’s not clear how that information is used.

“There should be certain policies in place,” Miyashita said. “And not only the policies itself, but the enforcement of the policies.”

The city responded to questions about the settlement with statistics from the federal government that show Honolulu is one of the top 10 safest transit systems in the country, with less than 40 serious accidents in each of the last three years.

But Miyashita said Lu’s experience proves just one accident can do a lot of damage.

“It was a very traumatic experience that will affect them probably for the rest of their lives,” Miyashita said.

Added Gaue: “It made me think about how I’m driving and that I should be focused on it. If I’m not, I shouldn’t be driving.”

The driver was not charged with a traffic crime in this case. The bus company hasn’t said whether he ever returned to driving the bus.

The settlement does not require the company to admit any wrongdoing or apologize.
