13. Reading. A dialogue with a tourist agency

 

 

 

 

— Hello, it’s Phoenix Tours, the best tourist agency in Wales. How can I help you?

— Hello, we want to book a tour for \(3\) people for tomorrow. We have arrived today, so we haven’t seen a lot yet.

— Well, I recommend our main sightseeing tour that is very popular among visitors of our city. It’s a boat cruise that will take you to the London’s top landmarks. A professional guide will accompany you along the way. You will see Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and Shakespeare’s Globe. You will also learn the history of the Thames River. If you are interested in buying some souvenirs, the boat may make a stop at Greenwich Market. The best part of the tour is the panoramic view of London in the evening.

— Sounds amazing! Can we eat when on board?

— There are no restaurants there, but you can take food and drinks with you.

— How long is the tour?

— The tour will take about \(2\) hours. The departure is at \(2\) p.m. at Westminster Pier, but we’ll pick you up at your hotel.

— My son does not speak English very well. Will he understand the guide?

— Well, we suggest taking an audio guide for your smartphones. You can choose from Spanish, German, French, Chinese and Russian languages.

— And how much does it cost?

— It’s £\(14\) for an adult and £\(11\) for a child.

— Well, I think we’ll have a try!

— Great! I need your family name for booking.

— Ivanov.

— What is your hotel?

— It’s The Fox&Goose Hotel.

— Your guide will meet you at the reception at \(1\):\(40\) p.m. Her name is Lia. Please, put on comfortable shoes and take money with you. You can have a look at other tours of our agency on our website.

— Thank you!

— Have a nice tour!
