Karpaty Travel are Taras, a grizzled mountaineer with a heart of gold and a good sense of humor, and Krystyna, a jovial young interpreter. We went on the tour: Mysteries of Skelevsky Bedesky: Lopata Mountain, and it was covered in snow even in April, and made for a great, technical ascent with gorgeous snowscapes. They organized a private tour for me during the pandemic, and to be fair to them and myself, it was much more expensive than their normal prices, which again, to be fair, are much lower than most tour companies. Couple things to note: 1: I think they understated the difficulty of the hikes a little, only because they are both in such good physical condition. 2: They were EXTREMELY flexible, and went far beyond the listed tour package to ensure I felt I was getting enough for my money. 3: They don't accept paymend by credit card, though this could change in the future. Otherwise I would happily go hiking with them every week, and recommend them to everyone.

7. Wild Carpathians: discovering Gorgany (private tour)
Gorgany is one of the wildest and most exotic parts of the Carpathians. There are no green meadows with the flocks of grazing sheep, like everywhere else. Instead, in this desolate corner, you will find stunning summits, covered with vast stone fields. This type of terrain is not found anywhere else in the Carpathian mountain system. Gorgany is a challenge for a hill walker, yet it is your choice if you’re looking for dramatic landscapes and want to escape civilization! This tour is of moderate complexity and recommended to those who have the experience of day-long mountain walks. The average distance of the daily walks is 7-12 km. Sections of rocky terrain may increase the complexity of the path. Small-group format ensures a personalized experience. Make sure your clothes and your hiking boots (trekking shoes) are comfortable for the hike. Trekking shoes are obligatory! You can choose this tour with transportation by train or private vehicle.
Inclusions: private tour, train / car transportation (it depends what you choose), local transfers, meals during the hike, guiding services, Breakfast, Dinner, Snacks
Exclusions: equipment rent, extra drinks and meals

I chose to go w/ JC Travel b/c they had the best price and I liked that I can visit the 3 main cities--Kyiv, Lviv, and Odessa. I wanted to go visit the Holodomor during their remembrance day and Julia (the owner) did everything she can to accommodate me w/ during COVID mandates in Ukraine. She even reminded me when to get my COVID test done b/c you can't get it done too soon or too late esp when my travel time was like 28 hours. I also had to buy COVID health insurance as well, but it was really cheap (11 days for about 12 USD). All her tour guides and drivers were very helpful as well. I can't say enough good things about them. They really take good care of you. Now, why Ukraine? Ukraine is one of the countries open for travel for Americans during COVID and also b/c I love history. I didn't realize this but you get so much for your money traveling here than you would in other parts of Europe, including Russia. Kyiv has a lot of history w/ Russia/USSR (Kyiv also accept USD there btw) and another 2 hours up north is the Chernobyl nuclear plant (Pripyat), which most Americans don't know about unless they have HBO. Pripyat is an abandoned city that was once filled w/ so much life and dreams of a better future.. (Imagine being told to leave your home NOW and never see your home and valuables again b/c they would be looted or liquidated). The stray dogs are also wonderful. There were at least 3 dogs that act as a guide. I saw one of them leading another group and then another two that later found us and then later found our driver. I feel like you can't get lost in Pripyat Then there's Lviv if you want that European feel to it for less than half the cost. Odessa is by the Black Sea and its history is much more diverse. I had such a great time shopping and eating great food. Even though COVID makes life harder (b/c I hate masks and lockdowns), I'm so glad I chose Ukraine and was able to make it out here before our stupid mayor and governor told us we can't travel. Anyway, I would really recommend JC Travel. Julia is very organized and always there for you. Her guides speak very good English and you really get that first class treatment w/ this tour company!
