We are a group of 6 friends. We hired a 7-day package with a safari company (*BIG FIVE SAFARIS*) from Spain, advised by the staff of the Arusha BackPapers Hostel (dirty hostel, dirty sheets... I thought I would sleep standing up)
We closed a fixed price with the commercial (we have a record of everything on WhatsApp) and our surprise was that the commercial received us in Arusha and when we went to pay him, he wanted us to give him everything in advance and asked us for 200 euros more than what was agreed per person + 10 euros per person and day tip per driver, another 10 p guide and another 10 p cook.
We refuse, and the boss comes. After many discussions we agreed on 100 euros more per person with tips included.
1. They change our SUV, they put us in an old one, the windows don't close, no air conditioning, the refrigerator doesn't work.
2.Broken tents (one was flooded one night when it rained and we had to reorganize in the remaining two) Dirty and torn bags and a thin and dirty mattress. (THE SALESMAN HAD SENT US PHOTOS OF STORES WITH HIGH INFLATABLE MATTRESSES, WITH SHEETS...)
3. They ration our food. For example, only 1 slice of bread per day for breakfast. They didn't give us napkins, we ran out of powdered milk and we had to ask those in another group because they didn't give us more.
4. On the 4th day the tent erectors did not come and they forced us to help set them up.
5. We asked for another mattress to make it softer and we didn't get it.
6. On the last day, we had agreed on three things to visit and on the third, the boss (Always on the phone through the guide, he did not show his face at any time) said that they would not take us, that we should go on our own.
7. The boss did not give them the agreed tip and we decided to give it to them, after all, the driver, the guide and the cook were errands who did their job well. They were not to blame for everything that was happening to us.
I REPEAT, NEVER IN THE TRIPS WE HAVE TAKEN, AND WE HAVE TAKEN A FEW, HAVE WE HAD TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE AS DISHONEST AND INFORMAL LIKE THE SALESMAN AND BOSS OF THIS COMPANY.
I am trying to report the situation we have experienced, from Spain, I don't know if anyone could help me.
Olá, pessoal.
O meu nome é Olly e procuro conselhos de pessoas locais de Portugal ou de viajantes experientes.
Quero fazer um vídeo de viagem sobre esse lindo país e estou procurando assuntos. Por favor, informe coisas incomuns e não turísticas. Podem ser pessoas, profissões, tradições ou lugares.
O único pedido - procuro algo que não seja turístico, nem habitual, nem esperado, onde os bilhetes não sejam vendidos. Por exemplo - os caçadores de moluscos Persebush (ocupação inesperada, realmente interessante e até perigosa). Isso me ajudará a fazer uma história interessante e não um vídeo típico sobre castelos ou praias)
Portanto, se você conhece algo único, escreva)
E obrigado)

Hello guys.
My name is Olly and I am looking for advice from local people from Portugal or experienced travellers.
I want to make a travel video about this beautiful country and I am looking for subjects. Please advise unusual, non-tourist things. These can be people, professions, traditions, or places.
The only request - I'm looking for something not touristy, not usual, and not expected, where tickets are not sold. For example - the Persebush clam catchers (not expected occupation, really interesting and even dangerous). It will help me make an interesting story and not a typical video about castles or beaches)
Therefore, if you know something unique, please write)
And thank you)
I travel to Thailand often and you people are such a huge help. So thanks for that!
I’ll have a few spare days before and after a liveaboard dive trip to the Similan Islands and I’d like to make the most of them. I’m into nature, beaches, hiking and good, authentic food. I’m less about nightlife or bar scenes. What area should I stay? I’d love a boutique style hotel (rather than a monster resort mini city) or private room in a hostel. If it’s in the jungle, even better! Should I make the trek down to Phuket city? Most of what I read about it sounds like a loud, polluted party. Khao Lak seems like a slower pace. Is it a nice jumping off point for jungle excursions/hikes?
Me and my family are traveling to Rovinj and I was worried about where to stay. Can we rent a cheap house or stay in a hotel? Please help me.
Hi Jennifer,
My girlfriend and I stayed 2 nights at this appartment, which we booked in Booking.com:
Apartments Adelita
Dirección: Grožnjanska 39, 52440 Poreč-Parenzo, Croacia
Teléfono: +385 99 221 4130
Coordenadas GPS: N 045° 14.807, E 13° 37.062
It was great, a good value for the price, spacious and cheap. It's in Porec, very close to Rovinj.
I hope it helps.

I would like to ask for a favor. Tomorrow, on Sunday 12.1.2020 I need to move from Malaga to Nerja where I will stay for a few weeks. I have a travel bag, hand luggage and two boxes with me. It's not big in volume. But I am alone in Spain and moving with all this by bus or train would be difficult for me.
Therefore I would like to ask if is here someone who will go by car on Sunday 12.1.2020 from Malaga to Nerja and could pick up me...

Appropriate clothing in a travel is a permanent issue to discuss. And now good news for all tourists.
From this moment you can see online what the locals are wearing right now in every city.

This is the main terminal of inter-state bus services in Makasar (that link Makassar and Toraja too) and there is an entrance fee of Rp. 500 per person. However, there is only one company that departs for Rantepao (in Tana Toraja) from this terminal, which is Litha. Other bus companies depart from their "own terminal"
Arriving at Daya Terminal, don't be surprised to see people coming towards you and asking to offer “helps” to carry your bags, especially if you are coming in a taxi. You might need their help if you have many bags, although this “help” will cost you about Rp. 10,000 for a short walk.
The only bus company, Litha, has a ticket office inside the terminal, so you need to pay the entrance fee to go in. Litha bus services to Rantepao start at 10am at a cost from Rp 80,000 one way.
Está claro que representas a una compañía de autobuses. Te indico que hacer publicidad encubierta no está admitido en este foro.
Todo lo que indicas es falso.
Por otro lado proporcionar información falsa para confundir a las personas que acuden a este foro con la sola intención de organizar su viaje, e intentar captar clientes mediante artimañas, creo que es motivo suficiente para que tus mensajes sean eliminados de este foro.
