Russia Ukraine Travel Alternative

Russia Ukraine travel can be very expensive for foreign visitors. This isn't because Russia and Ukraine are expensive places to travel. Rather it is a result of foreigners paying inflated prices for both accommodations and transportation.

Many Russian travel agents and Russian tour companies charge very high prices for travel services. In addition, hotels, taxis and other service providers often take advantage of tourists who do not speak the local language.

Fortunately there is a solution to the high cost of Russia Ukraine travel.

We have created a unique and affordable Russia Ukraine travel alternative. We have put together a network of independent Russian guides and interpreters who can answer your Russia Ukraine travel questions and provide travel services at a fraction of the cost of a tour operator. By eliminating the tour operator (the "middle man" in a sense) your expenses are significantly reduced and you still have the peace of mind of professional travel assistance.

With a directory of independent Russian guides and interpreters from over 60 cities located throughout Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Siberia and the Russian Far East, you can find a source of valuable travel advice regardless of your destination. Fill free to ask the guides your travel related questions and if you choose, attain their help for your trip to the CIS. Each guide is a native resident of their respective city, which means they have a wealth of information to share with you.  

Whether you are traveling to Russia or the Ukraine on business, for a vacation, or to study, your guide will be able to provide you with time and money saving tips, advice on where to go and what to do, as well as invaluable advice on how to stay safe. If you do not want to spend a lot of money on organized tours, and you do not want the uncertainty and stress of traveling on your own, then we have just the Russia Ukraine travel alternative for you.
