"Having an agency in Yoshkar-Ola as a point of contact is the best thing that you can do for yourself! To me, "Virginia" agency was a godsend! It was a place to have a morning pastry and coffee and meet other foreign friends. It was a place to make plans for the day. It was a place to share stories and learn about the Russian people. The people there were friendly and very accommodating. "

"I was not even sure I could remember what little of the language I learned. The Virginia Agency made all the travel plans for me. Irina was a very big help. Between Irina and Svetlana, I did not have to worry about anything once I landed in Moscow. The adventure at the airport and going through customs was not as bad as I had thought. The weather was not very bad either. I had expected it to be cold but it was not really that bad."

"It was easy to imagine being at this country estate before the revolution--to imagine being the guest of the manor, living the noble life. It was also thrilling to be with my lady in part of her history, yet where she had never been, either. Happiness on your love's face is one of life's greatest joys..."
