Welcome to the Anastasia Family!
Anastasia is the world’s largest Russian/American
(+ other regions like Europe & Asia)
Introduction and Romance Tour Company.
We are a family run business that is committed to providing great value and service to our
clients all
over the world. Anastasia is a proud member of the American Society of Travel Agents and the Central & Eastern Europe
Travel Board, and our Romance Tours have long been recognized as the
benchmark by which other tour companies are measured. Our reputation for honesty and integrity has been the key to our
success, which is why half of our clients come to us by word of mouth alone.
Anastasia’s tour receptions
are famous and are attended eagerly by some of the most beautiful
women in Russia and Ukraine. Only Anastasia International has the
resources and experience to bring groups to Russia and Ukraine on a
frequent and regular basis. Our 146th tour departed Feb. 10, 2005.
Anastasia
is the only Romance tour company to be founded, owned and operated by a
Russian/American couple; giving us a degree of insight and expertise
that cannot be matched by our competitors. Our owners, David and Elena
Besuden met in 1992 through online matchmaking services and were
married that same year.
Anastasia has been featured on a multitude of televisions shows and networks, including: 48 Hours,
The Daily Show, The Howard Stern Show, and Jennie Jones, (News features on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN and the BBC)
as well as a multitude of television networks in Japan, Germany, The Netherlands, France, Italy, Switzerland,
Brazil, Turkey and Australia to just name a few.
Anastasia is proud to have the largest full-time staff in the industry. With
80 full-time professionals hard at work in our US and Moscow offices, we are able to
conduct tours and provide services with a level of expertise and professionalism that is unequaled by any other company.
For instance, it is not a surprise that Anastasia is the only company in the world to offer
Flower and Gift Delivery to every single city in the
former Soviet Union! We are the only Romance Tour Company that enjoys true Russian/American ownership. David and Elena's
connections to Russia run far deeper than our competitors, which gives Anastasia the ability to network with agencies and
companies in every corner of the former Soviet Union. While our competitors offer
flower deliveries in a meager 7 cities, we are able to
deliver flowers and gifts to literally hundreds of cities and towns across all 11 time zones!
Anastasia's
American staff in our office in Bangor welcomes you to the great state
of Maine! Come and meet our friendly employees and enjoy our beautiful
little city, which has some of the best-preserved examples of classic
19th Century New England Architecture to be found anywhere. We are
only a short drive from the world famous Acadia National Park and
Mount Desert Island, so do yourself a favor and come say hello!

WHAT ARE THE STATISTICS REGARDING THE PROCESS?
"Approximately
75% of the clients who travel to a foreign country to meet their future
wife (as outlined above) get engaged from the first trip. Of the
remaining 25%, almost all tell me "It was the vacation of a lifetime"
and that they plan to return ASAP. Of those who get engaged and for
whom I obtain a Fiancée Visa, approximately 75% get married within 90
days of the woman's arrival in the U.S. Of the remaining 25% of the
cases, it does not work out and the woman returns to her home. To date,
to the best of my knowledge, our divorce rate is under five percent."
