SEPT.2011,,,A doctor friend and wife just got back from a group tour with 'UNIWORLD'. The two river cruises in Germany were "Wonderful" with great staff and friendly fellow travelers. But the end of the tour with UniWorld with 2 days in Prague, was a total Rip-off !! Rude and super Expensive !!
Beware of this Uni-World offering !!
The 'tail' of Prague will bite your ass,,, and put a bad taste of bad travel in your mind for months,,,
UPDATE: So i called Uniworld and asked the young guy answering if they had any complaints about rudeness, disrespect of tourism, overcharging, etc. from their guests that chose to spend the last two days in a 'departure city', such as Prague. He said he loved Prague, his old parents also beyond University-educated and very wealthy but not snobs loved Prague, and 'no' , Uniworld had not had many complaints from Uniworld customers choosing Prague as a 'departure city' over say Salzburg or Vienna or Geneva.
WARNING: Prague is on the suspect watch list, mine!, for lousy attitude and overcharging tourists from America.
Remember the 1980s when it seemed every travel writer was Raving about how wonderful Yugoslavia was? I bit. Boy oh boy, did i regret it,,, socially, politically, environmentally, tourism-wise,,,HUGE MISTAKE,,, pre-war Yugoslavia. Yet, many if not most travel writers kept telling us "what a great place for culture, food, tourism, the people(scared out of their minds), the coast(huge factory belching 4 massive different colors of pollution into the sky, the truth, still have the photo) Yugoslavia is!" (total bullshit) Yes, i liked LLubijana and Dubrovnik. Otherwise, with all the Communist red sickle posters and scared and bewildered people,,,not a good place for tourists.
Unless you 'like' walking on the Iran-Iraq border like an idiot!
