Dear Elena,
We would like to thank you for helping us to organise our vacation in Kiev and the Crimea area.
Bookings and help with hotels, apartments, flights, payments, museum, sightseeing etc. etc.
Your professional way of working is surprising because of the time we spent together you became a part of the family.
Every time you were guiding us you were well prepared to answer all our questions.
We enjoyed your guiding in Kiev and understand the beautifully city little more now.
What is also very important is that all the money transfers from Belgium to you for booking and so on.
Where always on a trustful way payed to the hotel or apartments.
Were do you find that on the internet on this time? You are better than a travel company!
We could tell lots of things more like the further help in the Crimea, the help on the end when returning etc. etc.
For all of this Elena we thank you.
Joyce, Michael, Jessy, Randy and me.

You will find a great mix of professionalism, enthusiasm and charm working with Elena.
I was so thankful that I was able to secure her services for my stay in Kiev.
She went out of her way to provide an excellent experience knowing my interest in
learning the culture and history of Ukraine.
After spending just a few hours with Elena it was clear she was a kind and understanding
person with a very warm personality.
She remained very flexible throughout my three days in Kiev and adapted to
changes in schedules and opportunities very smoothly. My time in Kiev would have
never come close to what I experienced without Elena's help. I can't say enough
good things about her or recommend her more highly!

Here are some words or phrases that describe Elena:
- Understands English very well
- Unfailingly cheerful and positive
- Always on time, very prompt
- Adds value to your Ukrainian experience ie suggests ways to save money on taxi, hotel that far exceeds the cost of her service. Elena value added is a key business phrase in America.
- Charming and well educated lady
- Works well under the pressure of deadlines
- Works quickly and efficiently ie makes calls to clients from noisy restaurants and gets the job done.
- Very computer and mobile phone compatible. knowledgeable
- Intuitively understands small business as she is a budding small businessperson herself
- Presents solutions that are creative and yet practical at the same time
- Keeps in constant touch with you and provides you with a cell phone for your personal use....Elena this was a big deal for me.
- Very discreet and non judgemental and yet if you ask her for an opinion she always uses good judgement on all issues where you has an appropriate level of knowledge to pass judgement. Elena has a good instinct for how far she should give an opinion on an issue and when it is time to pass on giving an opinion on an issue.
- Dresses professionally and beautifully and is always very presentable to clients, friends etc.
- Fair minded
- Understands what a reasonable and fair minded Ukrainian would do in the circumstances. Understands when a Ukrainian is taking advantage of the situation.

It has been an incredible trip to Kiev.
Thanks to Elena for making my trip so wonderful.
I am very impressed with the assistance I received from Elena -
I didn't understand Ukrainian/Russian but I felt I was at home
(though it was my first visit). I never encountered any language
barrier (which I had initially hoped for). Elena is not only a very skilled
travel guide, interpreter and translator but an extremely kind and understanding
person. I highly recommend Elena to assist you with your travel.
Ukraine is a beautiful country, it has a rich history and culture, and the friendliest
of people you will ever meet. I hope to travel Ukraine more frequently in the future and
explore the beauty of this great country. I am glad that I travelled Ukraine and I am glad
that I came across Elena, and so will you be!!

way of talking & convincing the customers. I was really satisfied with your services which you gave me
during my stay of 10 days. It was really good.
I hope that if I get a chance in near future, I will really would like to have your services once again.

We have been working with Elena for several years already; she helps our organization both with
written and oral translations. Her perfect knowledge of English many times was beneficial for our team.
Translation of news, projects, grant applications, interpretation during Non-governmental conferences and
meetings with partners - Elena has coped with that in a wonderful manner. Since I've known Elena for quite
a long time, I can say that she is a very open, active and responsible person who is estremely easy and nice
to work with.

Ich machte mit Elena bekannt, als ich mit meinen Studenten aus Potsdam Universität nach der Ukraine
mit Studium Besuch war. Ich freue mich sehr, dass wir eine Möglichkeit mit Elena zu arbeiten gehabt haben.
Während unseres Besuches war Elena sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Sie hat für uns in verschiedenen
gesellschaftlichen und staatlichen Einrichtungen übersetzt, ihr Kenntnis von Geschichte, sozial-politische
Situation und Media Bereich war sehr nützlich bei ihrer Arbeit. Das Niveau von Dolmetschung war sehr hoch
und professionell, für uns was es auch sehr angenehm, dass sie nicht nur Englisch, als auch Deutsch sehr
gut beherrschte. Ich kann sie freilich empfehlen wie eine sehr gute und qualifizierte Sprachspezialistin.

Elena ist wirklich eine der beste,
mit sie fühlen Sie sich so zu sagen in
der gleichen Zeit zu Hause in der Ukraine.
Sie ist pünktlich, zuverlässig, professionell, mit einem guten Herzen für Menschlichkeit.
Die Ukraine ist mit Elena das was eine Reise in ein entferntes Land wehrt macht egal ob es sich über Wirtscheft, Business, Kultur oder Tourismus handelt

I used Elena's guiding services for my visit to Kiev in September 2009.
She was punctual and courteous. She was knowledgable and informative on Kiev's
tourist attractions and highlights, and her local knowledge made my visit so much easier.
Her demeanour and manner were pleasant, positive and always enthusiastic.
Her English is excellent. She was always prepared to make an effort to provide help, guidance,
advice or assistance. Without local knowledge and language skills, visiting Ukraine for a westerner
can be a daunting challenge. Elena made my visit so much easier and stress free. Thanks Elena!
I have no reservations in highly recommending her!
