In reviews of bus tours in "Beltourist", travelers emphasize that many have certain concerns. Doubts arise due to the modest Moscow office, as well as the need to pay for most of the tour when boarding the bus, and not in advance, as required by most companies.

Negative

At the same time, it is worth recognizing that there are quite a lot of negative reviews about "Beltourist" in Moscow and other cities. Some tourists emphasize that the trip organized by this tour operator turns out to be a complete disappointment in all nuances: from the organization of the tour itself to unjustified expectations.

Especially a lot of feedback about "Belturiste.by" comes about trips on the route Berlin - Paris - Amsterdam. Problems start from the very beginning, when the bus departure time is delayed by more than an hour. Initially, tourists are cold and wet in the rain. All this leads to negative feedback about the company "Beltourist".

The bus turns out to be comfortable and new, with Polish drivers. At the same time, he was regularly late everywhere, which was offset by a reduction in the free time of tourists. As a result, instead of the six to eight hours initially promised for independent walks, there is no more than one or one and a half hours left. This was only enough to visit the toilet, have a bite to eat and frantically try to buy at least some souvenirs. Due to constant delays, according to tourists, groups of travelers regularly arrive in Amsterdam very late. The sightseeing tour itself turns out to be completely useless and uninteresting, as a largea group (about 60 people) that simply cannot fit on narrow sidewalks with heavy cyclist traffic. As a result, everyone tried only not to get lost. And in the end, the bus regularly has to wait until three in the morning at McDonald's. An unpleasant ending to this trip was that the tourists were taken only to Brest, although the route was originally planned to the Belarusian capital. After they handed out train tickets - to the side seats in the reserved seat near the toilet. All this leads to disappointment and negative reviews about "Beltourist" in St. Petersburg and other cities.
