Everything was perfect for the recent trip to Kharkov, the tour was well organised by yourselves and the costs very reasonable. Thank you Tony. Rob Stevenson - Group of 6 Everton Football Supporters

Everything went according to plan and I must thank you for arranging everything for us. Hotels, trains & buses were all where they should've been, it could have been a little daunting if these modes of transport were not made available to us. Overall everyone in our party had a fantastic trip, some even thought it was one of the best. I'd certainly agree that the Ukrainian women were wonderful!! I am sure there will be times in the future when we will need your services again and I will be only too happy to recommend you to other people travelling to the Ukraine. Once again thanks for your help Tony and Katerina. Andy Pike - Group of 20 Everton Football Supporters

As a group of about 50 people that you sorted out, we cannot thank you enough, the trip was a memerable one and it was all down to you and the services you provided.

The Hotel in Kiev was spot on and I have told other football supporter's groups to use you and your company. Once again a big thank you and here's hoping we get Another visit to the Ukraine. Kenneth Sweeney - Everton Football Supporters Group

The service you provided was excellent and the whole trip ran like clockwork, thanks again Tony and Katerina. Steve Clandon - Group of 6 Everton Supporters

Dear Katerina and Tony, thank you very much for all. The apartment you booked me was really nice. Vitalii was punctual and he is a real gentleman. Your service is very good.

Dear Tony and Katerina, Last Monday we returned from our trip to Ukraine. I am glad to tell you that we are very contented with the way everything was arranged by you for our group of 25. It was a fine coach, waiting for us in Odessa on the appointed time, with a very pleasant and cooperative driver. We had a wonderful 10 days with him. Everything went well and was very satisfying. Thank you for the pleasant contact we had and in case we plan a new trip to Ukraine we will sure contact your company again. Kind regards. Casper Meijer - Netherlands

I can't recommend Tony at Ukraine Connections highly enough, he goes above and beyond what is expected to ensure you receive excellent service and has been a friendly ear when I needed any information on Ukraine and its women. I would recommend his company to any of my friends or family that wanted to travel to the Ukraine. Paul Marriott - UK

Tony. I enjoyed a great holiday to Yalta and Feodosia, thank you. Sergei did a couple of lovely tours and was an excellent guide. I think Kiev and Odessa will figure in future plans. With thanks. Stephen Caton - USA

Tony, a quick email from an internet cafe in Odessa - this is a great trip. Please feel free to email if we can ever be testimonials etc for your company as you were very professional and helpful. Neil Simpson - UK

Tony. Many thanks for your last minute help last Thursday.  I had tried other firms, who were unable to help, so I am especially grateful. William - London

I just wanted to drop you a quick e-mail on behalf of Henry and I to thank you for arranging the accommodation and travel tickets for our trip to the Ukraine.  Everything went very well and the accommodation was first rate – we just wish we could have spent longer in the Sevastopol region; 4 days wasn’t long enough in such an interesting place! Joel, Henry and Amyas - London

Thank you Tony and Katerina for arranging our trip around Ukraine for us. Without your valuable help prebooking all our train tickets and hotels for us in advance we think we would have struggled. We had a lovely holiday. Next time we would like to visit Crimea, so will be in touch again. Mr and Mrs Steve Tasker

Hello Tony. Just a quick note to say "THANKS" for arranging the train tickets - everything went superbly; no hitches at all. Again, many thanks.  J-P and Shirley Carter - England

We was more than pleased with your service and also advices. We will certainely use your service again. Jostein Ferkingstad and Harald Lie - Norway

Hi Tony, just to say had a great time in Kiev, shooting was good fun and well organised and the guide was very helpful. We are keen on a second visit with a larger group probably in the spring for the full military day so will get in contact closer to the time. Ed Thomas - London

Sorry to have not met you in person. Thank you for organising our Kiev / Dnipro train tickets and getting them to the hotel for us. We had a great time in the Ukraine and look forward another trip in the future, hopefully for the Euro's in 2012. David McCarthy and Kevin Howe - England Football Supporters

Thanks for all your help not only with the coaches but also with the transfer to and from the airport. If anyone is planning to visit Ukraine I will definitely point them in your direction and would most definitely be using you for our travel plans for the Euro’s in 2012. Gary Davenport Group - Group of 50 England Football Supporters

Cheers Tony. I must say it looked like a nightmare sorting all of us out, but we got there and back with no problems at all with all your help. Both trains were bang on time too! Jon Head Group - Group of 6 England Football Supporters

Many thanks to you Tony…We had a very trouble free enjoyable trip. Should England qualify for the Euro 2012 championships we would not hesitate to contact you for travel arrangements etc. Steve Exley Group - Group of 5 England Football Supporters

Thank you Tony, the train trips went smoothly for us, so we would like to use your company again for Euro 2012! Jack Easton Group - Group of 4 England Football Supporters

Thanks Tony, all went to plan - Phil Jennet & Iain Condron - England Football Supporters

Tony - On behalf of our party, we thought your company were excellent. Communicated with us - everyone was on time and very courteous. The driver was very flexible and was happy to wait whilst we had to wake some of our late sleepers up! and he fully deserved the spare 24 cans of Obolon to go with his tip at the end of the night - your service was excellent. Would recomend your company to anyone planning on going to Kiev or the Ukraine. Thought Kiev was superb - loved Podil, Andrizvy, the gold domed Churches, the metro and the Lavra. Hoping we can do business in 2012 - as would love to go to Lviv and would like to travel down to Odessa. Paul Furness Group - Group of 10 England Football Supporters

Thanks v. much indeed for doing such a great job with getting us sorted for return train tickets to Dnipro from Kiev for the world cup qualifier. Your prices were very competitive compared to others and it was great that you were at the station so early yourself to get us onto the right carriage etc. Will have no hesitiation in getting in touch for arranging Euro 2012 and recommending you to others for the same. Cheers, Tony, Richard & Keith, England Football Supporters

Thank you for your excellent organisation, I certainly look forward to the possibility of a further visit to the Ukraine in 2012. Derek Chapman and Ian Greenfield - England Football Supporters

Thanks Tony for sorting everything out for us, it was much appreciated. Anthony Radley - Group of 3 England Football Supporters

We wanted to say a big thanks for all your efforts with the England trip. We really appreciated that you took time out to travel across to Kiev and be there in person to help get everyone on to their correct trains, especially late night or early morning ones. We especially appreciated the call to check we’d made the sleeper back to Kiev after the game in Dnipropetrovsk OK. There was the (expected ?) confusion about who was in what carriage/compartment and embarrassingly it took me a while to find the paperwork for everyone on our carriage, but we got there in the end ! Knowing the numbers on our trains each way (around 70 people) and that there were multiple trains taking fans to and from Dnipropetrovsk I think the whole thing passed off really well for the vast majority who travelled, made very much easier by the professional assistance of Katerina and yourself. Come Euro 2012 we will have no hesitation coming back for more! Martin Isaacs and Family, and all the other England Fans

Thanks for doing all the leg work on our trip, everything went to plan we were picked up and did a tour of Kiev. We got on the train & left on time, was picked up at the other end and taken to our hotel. The return journey was as planned, so all in all you did us proud. Well done and thanks to your staff and the Guide Mick Newman's Group of 14 England Football Supporters

The service you gave was first class all the way from being collected at the airport dead on time and the driver even dropped us off at a different location when asked. Was always worried we may not get our train tickets but there was no problem there either and the return journey was as easy as pie. We will definitely come back to you if England qualify for 2012. The return journey to the airport was early and the people you used were a credit to your company. S Weston & J Hudson - England Football Supporters

18 of us used Tony for the England game in October 2009, we used his services for airport transfers, hotel in Kiev and return train journeys between Kiev and Dnipro, everything was just fine and we would not hesitate to use Tony and Katerina again and i would recommend them to anyone traveling to or within the Ukraine, and as a bonus his partner in the Ukraine Katerina is gorgeous. Lee Waite Group from Leeds - England Football Supporters

Just Champion - 4 men to Dnipropetrovsk for the England World Cup Qualifier. Everything was better than clockwork. Trains, transfers, maps and general local advise. I think I would give them a try for anything similar, maybe even Skiing. Nigel Butterfield Group - England Football Supporters

Many thanks for your assistance with our trip. Everything ran very smoothly (apart from the football result but I can't blame you for that.... :) ) David Hinke and Philip Kent - England Football Supporters

Tony/Katerina, Thanks for sorting out our Airport Transfers, Hotel and Train travel in between Kiev-Dnipro. Everything went off a treat. I would recommend Ukraine Connections to others anytime and I think you have put yourself in a good position for business come the Euros in 2012. Well done and thanks once again. Cheers on behalf of the lads: Grays, Oldham, Rangers, Rochdale, Stafford Rangers, Sunderland and West Ham ENGLAND contingent

I would just like to extend my gratitude for such a fun and exciting day last Friday at the Rifle Range! Our Interpreter Marina in particular was such a lovely and kind girl, and we wish her the best of luck in the future. Everyone was so polite and professional, I would have no hesitation in recommending your company for future visitors! Thanks again! Mary Keith - Ireland

What a great web-site !!!!!!! Lots of good information, I was originally searching for train timetables from Kiev to Dnepropetrovsk. I usually fly - but wanted to try a different form of transport and see something of the country-side. Anyway, 1 hour later I am still going through all of the good stuff you have managed to cram into a well packaged and presented site. Most of the Ukraine-based sites are very dis-jointed with lots of missing links. I have been to the Ukraine many times, usually to Kiev. I am now teaching English in Dnepro and have been here for 2 months now. Great place, great people. Thanks again for all the work you have put into your website. Andy Rudd

Hi Tony  Just to say a big thank you for all your help with arranging our trip to Vinnitsa. We had a great hitch free trip. Sasha our driver was at the airport as planned and from that moment on invaluable. Although Sasha’s English was limited he bent over backwards to help and understand our requirements. It was fantastic to have Katerina to call when necessary, even though we only needed her help on a couple of occasions when we were unsure that he had understood our requirements. Sasha was a pleasure to have in our party and joined us for our evening meals allowing us to experience some wonderful local food, without him we would have had no idea where to start and would have missed out on so much. Thank you also for arranging the accommodation, having the rooms already allocated made life so much easier on arrival. The Versal Hotel was perfect for our trip and the rooms exceeded all our expectations. We are all so grateful for your help especially the recommendation of a driver, until you have visited the area you cannot appreciate just how difficult it would be without. We will all be thoroughly recommending Ukraine Connections, your knowledge and advise about the country was invaluable. The Bakers, Cranfields, Bigmores, Hunters, Stevens, Lancasters and Mackenzies - the UK

Thank you so much Tony and Katerina, it's been a pleasure doing business with you! John McAdie - Edinburgh

Tony, Katerina - Our Crimea trip went very well - no hitches, and a really enjoyable week. Thanks for your help and interest. Simon and Julia Thomas - UK

Hello Tony and Katerina: I am now back in the U.S.  Everything went well. After I went through Ukrainian immigration and reached the arrival hall, the driver was there. Also, at the train stations, the drivers were waiting on the platform. I will definitely use your service again in May 2011. Although, I would make one change and pay for a single compartment on the train because of the random roommate assignments on the trains. To Kherson, my roommate was a 70 year old woman who spoke no English and snored like a chainsaw.  Cheers, Conrad Quintyn

I want to let you know that all aspects of the service you provided were perfect on our just completed Ukraine trip.  Every element of our entire Ukraine trip was accomplished flawlessly. The drivers were great, always on time and very nice and responsible people. The tour in Kiev went very well as the tour guide's itinerary of the sights of Kiev were masterfully developed. Thank you for pulling this all together with such deligence. Steve Simmons - USA

Hi Tony and Katerina, just a short note to say that all your sightseeing tour arrangements in Crimea worked out to our fullest satisfaction! - Many thanks Carsten Willert - Germany

We had a wonderful time in the Ukraine. The services you provided were excellent, and we greatly appreciate your help. We are especially grateful to Zoya, the wonderful guide you provided for us in Chernivtsi for the trip out to my wife's ancestral villages. We will be sure to recommend your company to anyone we know travelling to Ukraine. Mr and Mrs Tom Hinkle - USA

Thank you Tony, Absolutely amazing service :) Jonathan Sweet - England

Hi Tony and Katerina - Just a quick note to thank you for making our trip to the Ukraine hassle free.  Joy and I are now back in Australia, and had a wonderful time. All the transfers were always reliable and efficient and our guide in Yalta was terrific. Our hotels were also excellent. Christine Braybrook - Australia

Tony, Thank you so much for all your help and advice with my booking, I would be very happy to recommend yourself and your company to anyone who asks me about travel to the Ukraine. Your help has made my worry about travel ease. Thank you, it is really appreciated for everything you have assisted me with. Barry Godwin - UK

Hello Tony. Just to say thank you for helping us with a transfer from the airport to Kiev train station, and the train tickets to / from Poltava.  Please can you pass on our thanks to Katerina in your Ukraine office. Our driver was very polite and helpful.  It was very much appreciated. Many thanks Mike and Ruth Seeney - UK

Hello Tony! Thanks so much mate. It gives me some sort of idea for my next year travel across Ukraine. I could not ask for better information. Have a great day and once again, thank you for your prompt reply. Mark Novak - Australia

Thank you Tony and Katerina, your valuable advice and assistance has been fantastic, its been an amazing experience in Ukraine. I fully intend booking tickets etc with you in future! Mark Wylie - Scotland

We are now home in Australia, after our travels. Just wanted to say thank you for your assistance with our visit to Ukraine. Your colleague was very helpful in transporting and assisting us. Brian Tyrrell - Australia

Thank you for the transport from Simferopol to Yalta on Sept 3. The driver was very kind and drove the vehicle very safely! We had a great stay and booked good results in the swimming of the European Championships for Masters. When we plan another journey to the Ukraine, we will contact you again. Thanks. Christine Nieuwenhuis - The Netherlands

Thanks for your very efficient organisation of our Ukraine trip. Everything happened as planned - apartment, train tickets, hotel bookings and cars. Michael from Yalta was particularly punctual,  reliable and charming. I really enjoyed the Ukraine - I can't think of any other country that can assail you with such a variety of experiences - political demos, churches, mummified monks, historic  battles, a submarine museum, seaside, palaces, Chekov and more cats than I've ever seen anywhere - in such a short space of time. The people are great too - mashrutka drivers, hotel staff, ordinary  bystanders were all amazingly friendly and helpful. Thank you for helping us enjoy the country in more detail than a It's-Thursday-it-must-be-Yalta packaged tour. Thanks again for ensuring we had a great trip Jane Barry - London

Dear Tony, just returned from out trip and wanted to say that the arrangements were brilliant.  Everything worked like clockwork and was very reassuring to both of us.  The apartment in Kiev was indeed centrally located and we found it easy to find our way around from there. The driver who met us at the airport was helpful and carried our suitcase up to the flat.  The driver - Michael - who both transferred us from Sevastopol to Yalta and then did the airport transfer was charming, punctual and tried v. hard to speak some English. Also one felt v. safe with him.  Both Crimea hotels fine. We would strongly recommend the Sevastopol now it has been taken over by Great Western. To be honest much better than the Bristol (Yalta), better rooms with better facilities and a restaurant where we had breakfast with a balcony overlooking the sea. Breakfast was also v. good. Staff spoke v. good English and were incredibly helpful.  Bristol Hotel in Yalta was however fine. Thanks for all your help and advice and for arranging everything so efficiently. Diana Kelsey - London

A brief but heartfelt thank you for helping myself and James with the trip to the Crimea. We had the best time - and everything was exactly arranged and on offer just as on the schedule. It meant that instead of having to expend our energies on the logistics, we were able to use every moment of our brief time there to our (and the magazine's) advantage. Anyway. Ukraine is a wonderful place , well worth taking the time to visit - and I will certainly point anyone I can in the direction of your excellent firm. Thanks again Michael and James - Vanity Fair

I would just like to say thank you again for the patience and support you showed in helping to organize our engagement trip to Ukraine.  Krista had no idea what I was up to, but I wanted to ensure it was a surprise for her on the trip. I asked her father for her hand in marriage before leaving to Ukraine so they were in the loop. We had an absolutely amazing time out there with a few challenges along the way which was to be expected traveling a foreign country.  But we owe the trip to you and your efforts in the many emails we exchanged along the way before we finally end up in Ukraine in AUgust 2010.  Looking back at our communications, this started back in November of 2009 so almost a full year prior to our departure so again, I thank you for not losing hope in us/me!  I proposed to Krista at the top of Mount Hoverla on Ukraine's Independence Day, and the weather couldn't have cooperated any better as it was a fantastic day.  We finally got married here on August 27, 2011 in Calgary, Alberta and it too was a fantastic day and absolutely perfect.  Thank you so much for the help and we've been telling everyone we come across to travel to Ukraine and to let us know if they need any help in organizing it so we can pass them on to you!  Scott & Krista Sawchyn - Canada

One We Appear To Have Not Got Right !!

I wont be going there at these rip off prices you have plucked out of the air. I simply wanted to go to a country outside the EU. Surely with an O level in Geography I can find my way to Odessa and Kiev withourt your help. Anyway i will stick to Turkey, Greece and Portugal and not bother with you and Ukraine, Russia etc. I assume you will be rich very shortly with your outlandisth prices and I hope you pay the UK taxes to support this wrethced Monarchy and the House of Lords.  Regards and Best Wishes - John Odell - UK
