Margarita,
My experience for the Odessa and Nikolaev tour was great. When I met up with Julia in Nikolaev during the social, we hit it off. We only spend partial days/nights together, but I had a wonderful time with her. My new goal after meeting Julia was to make friends and get acquainted with Odessa and Nikolaev, so I could return to spend time with Julia and other friends I've made.
As far as overall feedback to Anastasia, I felt that the staff (all the ladies and Brian), were extremely professional and helpful. I didn't feel I needed anyone to look out for my safety, but that was part of your services as well. I was never in want or need of anything. I didn't know exactly what I would experience or what I would need on a trip like this, but I found that I had everything I needed and I experienced far more than I had expected. Also, your translation staff from the other agencies was excellent. Be sure that Marina, from the Nikolaev agency, gets a special thanks for helping with Julia. She was truly great and looked out for me, safety and comfort, despite my best efforts to down play the need. And of course, I loved all of the Anastasia staff, yourself included! |
