Yalta Group Tour

[rickmoe]

I have recently returned from a group tour with Foreign Affair to Yalta. I've previously taken a number of tours with different companies, but can candidly say this was the most well done, in terms of organization, support, and really making the ladies feel good and comfortable coming to the socials. We stayed at the 5 star Oreanda Hotel, easily the best Hotel I've seen in Ukraine (recently renovated), the pool, both indoor and out were phenomenal, and service in general superb. I have no connection with this Agency, but would be happy to use their services in the future. Women were provided bus service from the towns of Simferopol and Sevastopol, and I was quite satisfied with both the number and quality of ladies present. Just glad to be home so I can have a decent plate of Pasta, with REAL tomato sauce.

So, any personal success?  Was this your first group tour?
Why would you recommend a guy with the full AFA package as opposed to just showing up for the socials?  How many men ended up doing fiance visas with the girls they met while on the tour?

As I stated, I've been on a number of tours, dating back to 1993, when most ladies had never spoken to a foreigner before. Sure, one can make a deal and just attend the socials to save money. I personally did my own airfare and arrived there with less stops than ther group. Also, at the risk of starting a flame war, I would like to state that anyone discussing a fiance visa on the first visit seeing a lady is not thinking clearly. Yes, there might be exceptions, but they are few, and the risks are far more costly than a second or third trip and the passage of some time.
