Mark,
Thanks for the plug and recommendation. Typically and often we hear the opposite, so it is refreshing to hear of an org. that goes out of its way to serve the client. When travel dictates Ukraine, I will look them up. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Sandell Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 2:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Expat List Shameless Plug (as we would call it in Australia) Excuse my spam/promotion, but when you read the story below I hope you will agree that the service I received is worth a mention... Thanks to the Icelandic Volcano incident my two week holiday travelling across parts of Western Europe and attending ANZAC day in France (an important day of remembrance for us Aussies) was looking all but ruined if it was not for the services of a Ukrainian travel agency called Arktur (www.arktur.ua <http://www.arktur.ua/> ). I could not get any train tickets out from Moscow to Europe, they were all booked, so I thought I would try from Kiev. Unfortunately it is very hard to book tickets out of Kiev by train unless you are physically there. Natalia Soboleva, GM of Arktur sent someone down to the station to try to purchase some for me but was unsuccessful. She was of the opinion though that there was a good chance we could still get tickets if we were actually there ourselves. My problem with that is my total lack of language skills would make that very difficult indeed! Natalia very kindly offered to meet us at the station when our overnight train from Moscow arrived, take us to the ticket booth and help us purchase the tickets from Kiev to Berlin, and that is exactly what she did! And how much did all this cost me? All the questions about how to book a ticket, sending someone to the station to try to get some, and finally actually meeting us at the station and purchasing the tickets with us? Didn't cost me a thing. Needless to say I will be using Arktur for my next trip to Ukraine. Check them out. www.arktur.ua _____ Looking for a hot date?
