Thanks for your guidance and patience on the trip. It was a great experience and you have won us over into the Russophile camp (although, I always had a week spot for Russia and its history, I never thought I would actually one day see the land and its people). We had a great time and will visit Russia again.

Dear Fr. Ilya,  
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making possible this trip to Holy Russia; it was the answer to our prayers and dreams come through.  After walking in such a Holy places our lives will never be the same. Thank you again for being such a good and loving shepherd.

Thank you, Father!  Greece trip was the trip of a life time. As I look at the pictures, I wish I were standing in those holy sites once again.  We covered thousands of years of history and thousands of miles … Please let me know about future trips.

You did an excellent job with this trip of Greece and I appreciate all the hard work that you did to organize it.  Let me know what's next and hopefully we can join you again in the future.

Fr. Ilya has an inspirational and dynamic presentation as a tour leader. I am grateful to have visited Russia in his group. It was educational and enriching for my life as a student and lover of the icon."

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the trip!  It was (is) my lifetime adventure, so far.  I miss all the "cats," you and our Russian friends.
