"Going to the Crimea for the first or twenty first
time? Either way it's worth checking out Eugene
Snezhkin's car guiding services because you're
guaranteed an interesting and stimulating time. You'll
see places that the tourist never sees and doors will
open that are normally locked and barred. And if
Eugene is sometimes busy, which is inevitable given
his worldwide reputation, don't hesitate to accept the
offer of his cousin Eugene's services, if only to
experience the ride in his 1968 Volga."

All the best

Dear Eugene,

You are a wonderful guide. From the, very early, moment we arrived at
Simferopol station you introduced us to the wonderful area the Crimea
is. Within four hours we got more, well informed, guidance than any
guide book we know could deliver. Also we've been visiting many
places that we would not have found on our own. The accommodations
you arranged were perfect , as well as for the price as for the
location.
But what we liked most about you was your knowledge and your specific
opinions about religion, politics and history. You are not the kind
of person for the "faint at heart" but just the guy who , even in a
short time, can learn people more about the feelings and opinions
about the recent history of the Crimea, the Ukraine and Russia than
any book can do.
I'll be pleased to answer anyone who wants recommendations about you !.

If you are visiting the southern Crimean peninsula, I can just as strongly recommend you
make contact with Eugene Snezhkin (www.aroundcrimea.com). If this is your first visit to
Ukraine, and you speak and read anything other than very good Russian or Ukranian, I
strongly advise against you trying to make it out there on your own. Eugene has a wealth
of knowledge and love for Crimea. Eugene is friendly, personable, outgoing and cautious.
All in all, spent several wonderful days in Crimea that might otherwise have been quite
desolate. If you would like any further information or comments, please don’t hesitate to
email me.

Sincerely,

Gerard Bencen

First of all, we'd like to Thank You once again, not only for your services
and the professional way in which you arranged everything for us, but also
for being a tremendously kind human being who made our trip trough your
beautiful Crimea unforgetable!

Normally, travelling is all about sightseeing, but this trip has been about
much more than that. It has also been about sharing thoughts, ideas and
opinions with some amazing people. A real learning and humbling experience!

A few years ago when Olya and I were still living separately, we had the opportunity to make a quick visit to Crimea.

Now I was already a pretty seasoned traveler in Ukraine by then and had visited many sections of the country, but Crimea was new to me and I had no established contacts there.

While planning my trip, I mentioned my plans on a BB somewhere, and out of the blue I received this message from another poster saying (very gingerly); "Dan, I know you offer help to a lot of guys traveling to Ukraine, but who helps YOU when you need it?"

Long story short - this guy, Eugene Snezhkin, offered his assistance in Crimea and was outstanding.

One of the most memorable points of the visit was when Eugene took us to Chersones Museum. He had earlier offered to make sure Olya and I could stay at a quaint individual house at Chersones, right on the beach and the same one used by the archeologists from around the globe. Blindly, I rejected Eugene's offer, and we stayed at the massive (and mundane) Hotel Yalta instead. Once having seen this cottage at Chersones, I kicked myself the rest of the trip for not having accepted Eugene's kind offer.

For those interested in visiting Crimea, I cannot recommend Eugene highly enough. My personal experience with him was first-rate.

He has a website now where you can see a little about Crimea and what Eugene can help you see on a visit. The website can be found here -- http://www.aroundcrimea.com.

Eugene's email address, for those interested is: yudjin@cris.net

Enjoy!

I too have used the services of Eugene Snezhkin and recommend him very highly! He took us many places that my wife, a seasoned traveler of Crimea, had never been to or even heard about.

Our trip was sensational and Eugene's insights into interpersonal relationships seemed to seal the deal between my fiancee and myself.

Of my travels in eastern Europe, Crimea was without doubt the most interesting and beautiful. Your knowledge and enthusiasm added much to my pleasure during my stay.
