I was hesitant about hiring an unknown guide but was very pleased with the assistance provided by Vasyl. His knowledge was deeper than a memorized tour guide spiel and he had many interesting historical insights. He helped arrange a visit to my ancester's home community which was beyond what I had hoped for. He was a good natured travel companion who anticipated my needs. I especially appreciated his precision in geneological work. It is easy to let the tourist think that there is a family connection when there isn't but Vasyl was specific in what was evidenced and what was not. I recommend him highly.
