What happened in Crete was what I call…appalling
What happened in Crete was what I call a intimidating, bullying experience especially towards women. The hard sell and the push to make money out of people who have paid for a economic holiday is barbaric. You are not allowed to refuse to go into the carpet, leather and jewellery places if you go in and say you are broke you are shown the exit by RSD staff and by staff in these places. I was verbally told to exit three times. One lady was told we were an uninteresting group of people as we were not asking many questions. As a group before entering the jewellery place we were told we were not performing on buying. We were told it was a requirement to tip but in large amounts. It was also obvious it was a requirement to spend £100s of pounds in each place. The guide giving us information around the cultural sites had a lot of knowledge and made it interesting his name was Manos I will not name the other guy but let’s just say he doesn’t like women unless they have lots of money to give, he is extremely rude. I was thinking of going to Morocco next year but now not with this company.
