You plan a trip to the city abroad and you want to find local guide-interpreter who would arrange you a tour in English around local attractions. What requirements should be imposed to such guide?

First of all, it is desirable for such guide-interpreter to know English well as native or as main foreign language. Fortunately, in many foreign countries English is either the main or one of the main languages.

Especially, if it is a question of some famous city or large tourist center. Secondly, it is desirable that he had experience of conducting excursions in English on subject that is interesting for you.

A lot of things depend on, whether we speak about usual sightseeing tour around local sights, or you wish to order some special theme excursion: for example, to musical or literary places.

Anyway, it is better to discuss all your wishes in advance, including duration of excursion and how profound it has to be.

As a Travel Agency, we focus on providing a customised service to a small number of ongoing tour operators who value the quality of our personalised and ‘hands’on’ approach. We also focus on providing a highly personalised service to our tour guides on an ongoing basis.

Medical interpretation is one of the most difficult types of interpretation. In this case it is always very important to interpret the diagnosis exactly, as well as medical appointments and recommendations. The interpreter who confuses liver and spleen, won't suit you.

To get competent interpretation at a visit of foreign clinic or at consultation with foreign doctor, as a rule, you need medical interpreter not just of general profile, but the interpreter with knowledge of certain area of medicine which the disease belongs to. The interpreter who copes successfully with interpretation on all-medical subjects, will not always be able to interprets consultation on urology or gynecology the same successfully.
