West Ukraine Tour Guide.
Escape from a stuffy city back to nature
together with Travel Agency"Camellia-Tour".

This short West Ukraine Tour Guide introduces you a travel agency "Camellia-Tour" - a team of people who love and know their business. They are based in the city of Uzhgorod which is located in Transcarpathia - one of the most beautiful parts of Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains. Bordering four European countries, this fairy tale area will call you back again and again once you visit it.

What is that special about Transarpathia? What this Ukraine Tour Guide is about? Most of us are "the big city kids". But from time to time Mother-Nature calls us to run away from our every day routine to take a breath among unspoiled nature, to enjoy crystal clear water, to taste real homemade food, to listen to sounds of the mountain rivers and the birds singing...

The most important is that everyone can find "his/her place" there in any season of the year. The Ukraine Tour Guide will demonstrate you that no matter whether you are a well-trained sportsman or just love to relax with a cup of tea or a glass of wine in a tree shade, there is a place for you to be happy in Transcarpathia. What is waiting for you there?

Skiing, sledding, and snow boarding in the winter time. Here is an endless list of opportunities for the warm season of the year: backpacking, biking, rafting, horse riding, fishing, hunting. Too much hard work? How about medieval castles, museums, churches, cathedrals, finding your relatives and tracking down your family genealogical tree? Ukraine tour guide ""Camellia-Tour" can provide you this opportunity.

Is it still too much hard work? O'key! Back to the simple healthy life and nature! Transarpathia is a heaven for the rural or green tourism. It is that exact place where one should stop, look around and suddenly realize:"This is a REAL life!". Does it sound too good to be true?

    1. Dear Valeriy, Anna, Edita! Thank you for your hospitality. The pancakes were delicious (just like my mother used to make for me) and your B&B is wonderful. Valeriy, your driving, guiding and interpreting were invaluable. Thanks!! Newt Yaeger.Atherton, California.

    2. I just returned from a very interesting tour in West Ukraine where we were searching for our Jewish roots. We engaged a wonderful Ukraine tour guide who picked us up in his mini van in Budapest. His name is Valeriy and he speaks 6 languages. He drove us all over the place and did some research for us. Valeriy was a very good translator and was willing to take us anywhere and try to find anything. If you take a trip like this, a guide is essential and Valeriy was excellent. Irene

    3. Thanks to Irene's posting, we contacted her Ukraine tour guide, Valeriy Shevshenko . He provided us with the most marvelous experience in western Ukraine that one could hope to have. We would not have been able to learn or understand anything without his help. Valeriy stayed with us throughout all the questioning and research. In addition, he helped us to find restaurants, gifts for our children - anything we wished. This man is truly a gem and a gentleman. Enanny ,10/05/2005.
