    Superb knowledge, effort, and companionship. Highly recommended!

    Dear James, Thank you for your reference. I was really pleased to provide a tour for you. Most of all, it was a dialogue between me and you, and I tried to explain who Ukrainians are and what Ukraine is. It was my private, independent opinion, which may be different from other Ukrainians. Many thanks for your questions. Best regards and welcome to come again :0)

    Oleksandr spent three days with me, giving me a tour of Lviv, driving me to Ternopil, showing me the sights there, and acting as translator all the while. He went WAY beyond my expectations, and I really came to think of him as a friend. Personable, energetic, cheerful, amazingly knowledgeable about art, culture and history, he's a star. Anybody interested in visiting...
