I also have a different experience with Dream Connections than OP. I also had a tour in 2015. I left Ukraine with a start to a relationship and returned many times to help it grow into what it is today. Pricing is at a premium for a premium service and opportunity, but this is for many things in my opinion. Going on a tour you need to be serious with serious intentions. There is always help available for the asking. I booked a tour and watched as many videos as I could find and those that were required from internal sources. I was prepared and was told I was over-prepared. I did not shop through the online data base. I understood that the photos and bio, interest of the ladies was not posted to select from to date but to determine my interest from appearance to common interest between us. No need to fall in love with a photo or story online. The tour is providing a opportunity to meet a real woman face to face of similar interest and at the same point in the lady's life as the man's. Its not just a room full of women either. Plenty of options but well organized so you meet and greet each one and talk to each one to see if there is a spark or similar interest. If the lady has mutual interest in the man she will write her phone number down for you herself. A lot of ladies do not want their photos online for obvious reasons. So this is why they are more that are not online. Relationships are started during these events and just like life there is no guarantees. To many factors come into play. A lady in a relationship may ask a man for something but it is up to the man to decide. That is their Ukrainian customs that I have learned. OP did not mention the personal translator/assistance that is provided in this cost for the entire time spent on tour. Her time is available to you all day and evening with a date or without. This is the BS detector that should have caught his problem in the beginning. This lady translator is worth every cent of the $5000 by itself. If the OP did actually take a tour I just don't see this getting by during or after a tour unless OP disregarded the translator's advice. Which I know has happened in the past and did not work out well. "Listen to your translator" Some guys think they can travel to another country and expect the same things that work in their country to work there, it doesn't... This translator is the key to the whole experience during and especially after or post tour. I know my translator is now a really good friend to me and has been since the first day I met her. She has my back at anytime. She is there for me anytime I need her services. With her support the relationship blossomed. Any questions I had were answered in a timely fashion pre an post tour by any management staff. Still to this day I receive support from management and from those that have taken the tour during and after I did. You get what you put into anything. You have to be ready in your life for this journey and know what you want when you get there. You have to be patient and understanding. You pay cheap prices for something you will pay more in the long run later. Letter writing, paid online chats, even paid video and paid Skype calls other big box international dating agencies charge for a slim chance of a positive outcome. Before you ever get on a plane and go you have spent the cost of a Dream Connections tour on a photo. I know I did the prior to taking my 2015 tour and was headed down the wrong road with that big box agency. There are bad apples in every bushel, Not everyone looks bad or smells bad or sounds bad until you cut into it. So many factors come into play for reasons. People are just people and in my opinion you get out of a relationship what you are willing to put into it. I understood that I may leave Ukraine without a relationship, I understood that I may need to take more than one trip. I was prepared for just that. In my case that wasn't needed. I followed my heart to Ukraine and found my other half, my Queen....There is nothing like the love and care from a Ukrainian lady.. I would and have recommended Dream Connections to others that have taken tours. They are the only true international relationship company that uses a platform that really works without a lot of bells and whistles that cost extra. read more

It starts off with a ridiculous challenge from Mark(the owner of DC) that he puts in all of his videos(mostly because i think he likes to hear himself talk) that you are not a real man if you dont take a chance and go on one of his tours(he says this over and over) Most of the girls on the site were not at the initial meet and great there were women there not on the site mostly because i think they had many problems/children or were not attractive enough to make you spend $5000.00(DC fee) for the chance to meet them. We were all told the women had been interviewed and vetted but that could not be farther from the truth at least 4 women i spoke to said they signed up a week before i arrived and all that was asked of them was age/children/height/weight etc..."love coaches" or that's what DC/Mark want us to call them push the women on you so that you wont complain even if the women are rude and disrespectful or seem disinterested. The coaches say things like she is not always like that and when you get married she will be different etc...One woman i was dumb enough to continue correspondence with when i got home was extremely immature and told me she was married 2 times previous when she said nothing when i was there had some female medical problems and so on, again i was told nothing about any problems when i was there for 10 days. If DC was once interested in really pairing people together they have since fallen far away from their original plan. I went to the Ukraine for my tour the other tours they have is Colombia where a very large portion of the women are prostitutes and Thailand (enough said). Nikaloev and women of the Ukraine who are not damaged in relatively good looking, date and marry local men they would have nothing to do with foreigners(that's why all the "Love Coaches" are married to locals). one of the worst parts is you arrive on a huge bus in the middle of the city center and all of the foreigners get off with their luggage in front of all of the locals(so embarrassing) The owner and his wife don't really get as involved as their video would have you believe they leave that up to their staff and their number 1 Irina(who could sell ketchup Popsicles to people with white gloves) Needless to say a year after attending their event out of the 35 of us that attended 3 are still talking to their ladies. For $11-12K spent(DC fee/flight/hotel/gifts/meals etc...) it was probably one of the worst investments you can make. Spend that kind of money on someone local and i bet you have far better results. Again and i cannot say this enough the locals in the Ukraine know foreigners come for only one reason(Women) and any respectful woman in the Ukraine would have nothing to do with Dream Connections. final thoughts it was hinted to me by 2 women that DC pays some of the more attractive women to attend the events so that men will come to them and also when your on your last day or so the owner Mark passes out a piece of paper saying it states that you attended the event and that some men stated they didn't and so on. He does this when everyone is going to the final dinner and we are all about to get on the bus to do so in hopes i am sure that no one reads what they are signing. When you read it it states that DC met or exceeded all of your expectations and some other garbage Mark put down there to show everyone that they are successful and that their clients are happy when in truth the majority of them are not(i keep in touch with 12 other guys from my tour) There are people that will continue to fall for this "Scam" and to them i am sorry but if you read this before making a deposit i would urge you to find a different route to finding happiness because nothing is worse than still being alone and now 11-12k poorer read more

First of all, I'm a real person who really went on a tour in 2016. I'm the guy from this testimonial video: https://youtu.be/pJuSsYYfhYA The whole story of my experience as told in the video is, in fact, completely true. Since then I've returned several times to Ukraine to court my girlfriend. It took some time and effort, but we are now very happily married in America. Family and friends who meet my wife tell me how lucky I am to have such a sweet and sincere woman who is so obviously in love with me. I lack the words to describe how sincere, real, and girl-next-door my wife is. She could not be further from the Mail-Order-Bride stereotype. Right now she's watching cheesy Anime and Korean sit-coms, commenting on how I'm writing such a long review as she playfully caresses my hair. Dream Connections is as legit as a company can get. No, not every woman who is on the site can attend every meet and greet. And yes, some women are so new to the company or so concerned about their privacy that they are not put on a public site. I dated women both on and off the website (my wife was not on the website). Dream Connections respectfully and fervently protects the safety and rights of both the men and (especially) the women who participate. They can only finalize the attendees a few days ahead of the event (they are real women with real family and work commitments, not professional daters) and at the start of the tour each man gets a list of which women will participate (and vice versa for the women). This is in no way a bait and switch. No, not every man is successful, but my experience is that this is in no part the fault of Dream Connections. Usually it's the guy's fault for being unrealistic, not being observant, or not being ready. Yes, they screen the men, but the company can't force a man to play his cards right after he arrives. The company can't promise a wife, but they absolutely do deliver the best opportunity for a sincere man to meet and romance a sincere, beautiful woman (and they train and coach you on how to do it). People gawk at the price tag of $5,000 without putting it into perspective and realizing what goes on in the background. This is an expensive professional service (think $15K-$20K), and the only reason the company can offer the experience for ONLY $5,000 is because of the economies of scale they get from the group format. Here are some bigger questions to keep in mind: What is the value of a beautiful, sincere wife who will truly love you? Answer: priceless. What is the annual financial value of a frugal, low-maintenance wife like those from Ukraine as opposed to a woman with Western-level expectations? Answer: more than $5,000 a year What is the financial cost of a divorce from marrying the wrong kind of woman? Answer: Half of everything you have. Dream Connections as a company is extremely honest and transparent. Men who are decent guys, willing to prepare, realistic with their expectations, and willing to follow advice could not ask for better value in a romance company. read more

I traveled to Ukraine three time. First was with Loveme.com/Foreignlady.com (same company with two separate web sights). Second and third with Dreamconnections.com. Loveme.com/Foreignlady.com arranged travel and accommodation in two Ukraine cities. First meeting in city one was at a bar. All the translators stayed in one corn of room drinking while lades and person on tour tried to meet. Person on tour complained so, second city translators were little better. Both dinner meeting, most women were there for the drink and party. Not one woman at either event wanted to talk. When they ran out of liquor at second diner, the women were gone. I saw this as squander of my money. Dreamconnections.com November 2015, first night you meet your translator who worked with you. Lily was my translator and was extremely helpful with setting dates with women. I did find a young woman who is very good friend. We still communicate today and even spent some time together my second trip. Ill had stomach illness most of trip but Lily helped me through this. Dreamconnections.com July 2016, second trip where my translator Lily helped me meet and attend activities with my curt wife. My translator was able to arrange proper meeting place for me to ask my wife to marry. I think Dreamconnections.com staff for all their help in finding her and their assistance in bringing her to me. Dreamconnections.com make it able to meet many different women with a translator supporting you completely. Finding woman who you fall in love with happen for me. If you want to look for a wife in Ukraine, Dreamconnections.com should be your only choice. read more

Thank you to my brothers in quest it was a very good hunting trip. I will be a fine trophy husband for my future wife Natalia. Just the experience was fabulous all I wanted was to put myself out there and have my beautiful wife trap me with her eyes and magic smile. And her Russian accent make my heart melt like chocolate. Elena my dating coach/translator was perfect we made the perfect sniper team. Thank you mark Anna I love you people aloha I cant thank you enough. See you guys in hawaii. Ok this is dating if your not a good person you wont find your match. Bottom line if your trying to nickle and dime your future wife. Over the price of flowers. You deserve to be single. There is no easy way to find your true love but I invite you to stack the deck in your favor. With Mark's coaching. Frack many of the guys on the tour were surprised that I found my true love on my first day and on my second date we made a commitment. But I was dreaming about this for 24 years. So I actually believe my journey took the longest out of all my new brothers I've made on this march 2019 tour. Set your destination what is your agenda ask your dating coach for their help. Use the tools you are given. Your the only one who can create your reality. Even if I didnt find my true love . Ask your self how many dates do you find back home. I had many dates or well friendship meet ups only because I found my one early. Seizing the day. Or piss it away. I only meet wonderful women on this trip. And made many friends. I only want one wife and I found her she is fabulous. read more

I joined Quest Romance Tour and met the most amazing people in the world - men and women! Of course, I came to meet women, but they men on my tour have been a reassuring part of my life as friends and people who see the world the same way I do. I like they way they do things. My romance coach was my secret weapon and best friend. Having her made all the difference in the world. It made everything more comfortable and I didn't have to worry about what to say or bring or where to go on dates. The women I dated were beyond what I expected. I suppose I have been told that they were soft, warm, and elegant. But you don't believe until you are there. On every date I felt like I was their man for that date. I did find one that I felt like we have always known each other and we hope to spend our lives together. Of course I feel the price was worth it! Even if I didn't find her, I was treated so well and had so many memories. I'm glad such a company exists. I don't think there is another like it in the world. read more

I went on a Dream Connections tour to Nikolaev in May 2017. The tour was absolutely everything Mark Davis claimed! I found a wonderful, smart, beautiful woman. We are now engaged and going through the K-1 visa process. Dream Connections changed my life. I believe all or nearly all of the men on my tour would also sing the praises of Mark, Anna & Dream Connections. I cannot say enough about this company. There are a lot of scam companies out there. DC is honest and reliable. Several years ago I went to Ukraine on a rival tour company and was disappointed and disgusted by their practices. That affair was a waste of time and money. Not even one date with a serious, viable woman. I also got scammed by one woman on a $300 dinner. I reported it to the owner, John. He acted like he was going to investigate. But that was a con. They kept her on, knowing she was a scammer. Dream Connections is not like that, 100 percent honest and ethical, from my experience. read more
