Quotes
We are very pleased that the Chekhov Anniversary Tour to Yalta was a great success and we would like to share some quotes from people who came with us:
Nothing could surpass visiting the White Dacha, which has been a lifetime's dream. – Jane Gerson
Seeing Chekhov’s sister's room was very moving and special. – Sally Smith
The Chekhov experience was outstanding. – Mary Pyke
Wonderful to see the leather coat, pens and pencils and Masha’s room and to meet Alla. – Marylin Johnstone
It was wonderful to visit Chekhov’s house and seaside dacha, and to meet Alla at the house. Quite extraordinary to think she’d looked after Masha Chekhova. Talk about six degrees of separation – a mere 3 separated us from him! - Ade Thomas
Each day seemed better than the one before - such surprises, such treats. The emotion engendered by being in Chekhov’s space. Rosamund’s interpretations throughout made it exceedingly personal and individual. It really held the whole thing to the highest standard feeling that she too was having a unique and mind stretching experience. – Caroline Blakiston
Illustrated Chekhov tour diary is available from the Exeter International company.
