2. Guides and interpreters

When does the need for escort interpreters arise? When you go abroad on a tourist or business trip, when you receive distant relatives or business partners who do not speak Russian… In these and many more cases you will certainly need a specially trained person who will make you and your guests feel at ease. Our agency is always ready to provide professional interpreting services. However, the profession of an escort interpreter is not an easy one. It’s nothing like working on your home or office computer in silence, peace and comfort. Here you need to travel around the city or even country, tell about sights, provide instructions... It’s a “field” test for the interpreter but a true benefit for the customer. You will be provided with high-quality comprehensible interpretation of the original message alongside with confidence and reassurance as you will be let in on all cultural nuances. For example, in Istanbul looking men into eyes can be misinterpreted as a sign of easy virtue on the part of a girl. Isn’t it better to learn it from an escort interpreter in advance?

On the whole, it’s way more comfortable to travel with an escort interpreter rather than alone. You never know what may happen! In a Bulgarian camp once children were perplexed by the nurses who started complaining about some pantofles. It turned out later that their linen and swimwear fell off the balcony because nobody had thought of bringing pegs! There was no escort interpreter and the group leader did not know Bulgarian. It was not until the issue was addressed to the administration that it became clear what all the fuss had been about. There is another funny story from Bulgaria that has gone viral on the web: having been told that all Bulgarians were fluent in Russian a Russian tourist started enquiring about a certain “stoyanka” (a Russian equivalent of “a parking lot”) but no one in Varna was able to help him. As he learned later he might as well have been looking for a “Natasha” as “Stoyana” is a very popular Bulgarian name. You can imagine how puzzled those he approached were. It’s plain impossible to gain insight into all cultural traditions, customs and language peculiarities before the trip so it’s much better to commit yourself to the professionals.

In addition, our agency will arrange your or your guests’ trip in the most comfortable manner! The escort interpreter will accompany you guest from his arrival to departure. The cost of the service will depend on the languages, escort distance, duration of the trip and any additional requests. Please contact us and everything will be arranged in the best possible way!
