Pan" Alex (our key person in Ukraine - I.P.),We just wanted to let you know that we had a great time with you on our trip. Your language skills and encyclopedic knowledge made for a memorable experience. I still cannot believe that we found my relatives so easily. Vitaly (our driver - I.P.) was a great driver and got us to Budapest in good time and order. The sadness of the situation in the United States (the 9/11 attack on WTC - I.P.) may have dampened our good spirits but did not detract from the satisfaction that we all received from our Hungarian/Ukrainian adventure.
Don Mykytiuk, Haverford, USA
We had an unforgettable trip, and its success was due in large part to the excellent service we received from your company. We are so thankful that we took your advice to travel with a guide, car and driver, for we now realize that we would not have been able to do what we did without them. Michael Schick, University of Washington, Seattle, USA
The travel arrangements were flawless... and we simply did not have one single problem with the arrangements. After having gone on this trip as we did, I would say we did it right. ...if you want to venture out into the country, a driver and a vehicle are essential. When we do this again, we'll do it the same way.
