“VQT has been the most Genuine interaction i have had during COVID-19”

daniel p.
2/7/21

I had been booked and paid for in full to attend July 2020 tour, however with the COVID restrictions and travel bans i was unable to leave my country. When Dream Connections launched the VQT (Virtual Quest Tour) I was one of the first to jump at the opportunity. My Romance coach (Anna) was amazing and we are still close friends that talk quite often. She helped me find my lady, who i could not be any happier with. Dream Connections were happy to refund me the difference between the full tour and the Virtual Quest tour, i opted to use it for credit on other Dream Connections services instead. I have spoken with Mark at length for numerous times and is a patient and genuine person, while i can see where peoples perspective of him been a salesman can come from, I can honestly say that i did not have that feeling, my advice is to park your cynicism for just moment you will see beyond the superficial parts and see that they are in the business of bring people together.

“Dream Connections & Mark Davis Scammers”

E T.
10/14/21

I would give Dream Connections a zero stars if I could. The owner is real snake oil salesman. He pulls at your emotion and preys on men when they are at their weakest point. It's true, once they have your money, they don't care and the men that actually do get married, which are few compared to the amount they have going on trips, is really just luck. I personal witness Mark blowing men off on my trip and read between his lies. Followed the company for years and noticed the many lies and once they get caught, they delete videos. Stop over paying for this service guys, their business model is old and truly a bunch low life scammers!

Tip for consumers:
Before you think of doing any of the quest tours, take a serious hard look at your self and your past relationships. Find the areas you went wrong with or had short comings and deal with them.
I sure as hell did and before i committed i worked on my self before committing.

Mark is a really honest guy and very helpful. He's an expert when it comes to international relationships and that's why everyone loves the results they get. Highly recommend!

I just want to put out there this was no BS, it is the real deal. They do deliver on the promise just show up. I was on the November 2019 tour and can and have recommend this company without hesitation. They take care of everything, with the whole team being active in your success (include your participation of course).

You romance coach is the real deal as well, they take of everything for you and help guide you around the bumps that come up on every road at times. She is there for everything and knows her stuff! Not just mine but all of them.

If you thinking about it you really have nothing to lose give it a try, 5K is nothing compared to the happiness it can bring you. But it will be a difficult journey and likely out of your comfort zone somewhat but really what good things in life don't have some of that!

This was my second time with Dream Connections and I am NOT disappointed. I had my same translator and she plans everything for you. The date's of course I select but my translator did everything like Mark said they would. The support from the staff can not compare to any company that is doing a romance tour. I have found my second half and she is almost like me but funnier. I feel very comfortable with my lady and she is with me. I know where this will end up. ;)

I had the great opportunity to go on the March 2018 tour. The way the system is put together shows success. I have a great time with the group and the restaurants are beyond fantastic. The ladies were genuine and down to earth. Many age groups for all ages of men. I am making a return trip to further my connection. Thank you Mark Davis and Thank you Irina for the successful experience. The staff is quality.

I attended the May2019 event in Mykolaiv. 1)The price is a bargain. Where else can you meet 100 beautiful women who seek long term relationships without spending larger amounts of money and time? I believe I saved four years of dating. 2) These are NOT models or sex workers, rather they are good, beautiful, hard working women. 3) Expectations are key. You will not succeed without putting in some preparation. DC helps you with this. 4) Ukraine is different. The roads are horrible. The hotel is two star. You still have to keep your hand on your wallet. Relax and enjoy. 5) You WILL get lots of phone numbers and will not have time to date them all. 6) The system works! The people I met who did not find a long term relationship either had hidden agendas or expectations that were WAY to high. I am one of the oldest men to have ever come on the tour (71) and I got lots and lots of phone numbers and found a wonderful woman. My only caution is, if you find ANY conflict with your translator, (I did), ask for a replacement (I did). A great relationship with your translator is key. I would happily go again.

This is a class organization. There is no scam or ripp off like other companies of this type. You are catered to from the time you arrive until you depart. You have a native personal assistant and translator with you at all times. And my favorite... I have many new great friends over seas I love to go visit.

I signed up with DreamConnections back in March of 2015. I had viewed their videos on YouTube for many months prior to joining. I sent in payment information, and two months later I was on a plane to Ukraine. The entire experience was similar to that in their promotional video. We were greeted warmly, given a tour of Odessa, and then taken in a bus to Nikolaev. It is a magical place for a western tourist, to put it mildly. The dating events were classy, and the week flew by like mad. Mark and Anna are caring, devoted hosts, and my translator was awesome. It is not for everyone, and those who have never been to another country (with a totally different language and character set) might get overwhelmed. Even though I ended up marrying a Russian woman, I rank this experience as one of the best of my life. I'm glad I did it, and I miss southern Ukraine a ton. (Albeit my wife doesn't like hearing me say that).

PS: The food in ukraine is awesome.

This Companies Attitude is one of success. They structure everything very well, are kind, professional and very helpful. If you're clueless then don't worry they will answer any questions and will put you at ease very quickly. Need anything, ask. They vet everyone who goes on the tour both men and women. I have known many marriages to result from them. Any other review that say they are scamming you are lying and work for a rival company. They aim for you to succeed on the first try, not for you to come back and pay money for many unnecessary tours. It also setups a brotherhood of men to encourage one another. I don't know of any other companies that do that. Like I said they aim to pair up marriage minded men and women committed to one another.

Went on a tour during 2015. The girl I meet from the event didn't work out. Actually meet my wife through a fellow client that I became close friends with.

My story wouldn't have been possible if Mark didn't go above and beyond to build a community of support for his clients.

The journey of successfully finding someone internationally has its own unique challenges.

Mark is constantly working on ways to help his clients succeed. From coaching before the trip to well thought out events to being avalible to help after the trip.

There is so much more that goes into a successful international relationship than just the week long event. It is clear that Mark's focus and priority is doing all he can to help.

The review written by someone named Russel B. Made me extremely mad. Every word the person wrote is an absolute lie. I was part of Dream Connections for almost 3 years when I met my husband on one of the tours. I have worked with Anna and Mark for 10 tours and talked with all the customers, trying to make sure everybody is happy and comfortable. The customer's requests or issues were NEVER ignored and having over a dozen customers at a time, Anna and Mark always found time and did their best to resolve, talk, fix, arrange etc. It was funny to read about "date fee" in that review. Every translator and every girl always knew that there are no money ever involved in the dates. All the customers were warned from the beginning that its not a good idea to buy any expensive things to any girl unless the man is 100% sure that the relationship with the girl is serious. The translator-assistant is the one who ends up being responsible for customer's expenses like these and she has to make sure he does not make any unnecessary spendings.
I know very well how other agencies work and it's not even close to the service Mark is offering. Just go ahead and read REAL feedback from the real people who were on the tours like Anastasia or others offer.
Also talking about real and fake, you can find me on Facebook and see that me, my story and my family are real. Russel B can also tell us his last name so that we can check his words, e.g. ask the guys who were with him on the same tour if anything of what he is saying is true or maybe we can find him on the pictures from that tour. Actually I even doubt anyone can remember such person ever attending any of the DC's tours. He is total fake and God will find the way to punish him for his lies.
Regarding the married couples - I am not working with DC for 3 years already but I will write you a list of at least 25 couples whom I personally know who are happily married thanks to the awesome job Anna and Mark are doing (as far as I know there are actually close to a 100 couples by now). My life couldn't be better now thanks to Davis family and that was the best decision to spend that $5000 that my husband ever made in his life besides the actual decision to marry me (LOL, these are his words).
My dear and beloved Mark and Anna! I wish you guys all the best, nobody can compare to you!
Your Julia Rodriguez.

PS. As a former translator I can swear I never got the paycheck of $300.00. This is a good money for Ukraine, but still my salary was ALWAYS much more than that. So another lie from Russel B. Who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. ;)

I went on the May 2016 tour and every step of the process, from the Skype interviews with the management to the handling of the translators, was done top notch and very professional. I met a lot of beautiful and intelligent Ukrainian women, during the week and am now engaged to a wonderful and caring woman. Dream Connections helps me even after the week was over, by providing easy and affordable gifts that I sent to my lady as well as effective English lessons for my lady. If anyone ever has a bad experience with Dream Connections, it is most likely due to that individuals poor attitude. Dream Connections goes out of their way to make it a pleasant and effective event.

Tip for consumers:
Keep your heart and your mind open to the experience. It will be a memorable time.

I'm a happy customer from the March 2016 tour that is now married to a wonderful Ukrainian woman. I would not change anything about choosing Dream Connections or going on tour. I did check my ego in to the coatroom and followed the Dream Connections training as best I could. Almost three years later, to my fuzzy knowledge, 9 out of 18 guys who went on our tour are now married or engaged to a Ukrainian lady. 2 men married women from other towns in Ukraine and did not meet them through Dream Connections. That number is a little high for most tours but we had about half the guys in their late 40s and early 50s who were a bit more seasoned and experienced. We bonded well as a group and I am still Facebook friends with several guys who did not find that special person on this tour. 3-4 guys from the tour are now close friends and our Ukrainian wives are close friends.

The company has a training program 80% of which is free by watching the weekly webinars, even if you don't go on a tour, the knowledge learned during the webinars is valuable in life not just in dating international women. While on tour, the company has a very good system to allow you to meet Ukrainian women who are serious about meeting the right man for her desires. I was the oldest guy on my tour at 59, so more than half of the 90 women in the Meet and Greet events were below my age. But I still got 25 phone numbers from the ladies and dated about half of them. I dated age appropriately and even when on a few coffee dates where the lady was 20 years younger than me. But having young children were not in my list of desired traits, so I had those dates simply for fun. The Dream Connections company is the most transparent company in this industry. They document each Meet and Greet event with pictures and videos. You can see the difference between profile pictures and how these ladies actually look in person. Some are different, but most I would say look as good or better in person. Do your own research and ask this company the tough questions. I think most people will come away impressed. And the after tour support was very good. But then again I was able to live in Ukraine for 8 months while I dated my wife and we waited for her K-1 visa. I made friends of many of the staff members. Being a nice guy all the time, does pay off in the long run. Some guys forget that, I think.

After doing doing my homework and looking at so many agency I decided to go with Dream Connection, after speaking with Mark and Anna I was sold, that feeling you get when you know you made the right decision. I found the service and response to be excellent, any question or concern I might have had was answered right away, while on the tour I felt like I was part of this family like know other, the service I received was excellent, everything was all done for me all I had to do was to show up and be myself and meet beautiful ladies that has the same desires that I had, someone who was looking for that special someone, which for me personal it didn't take long, now I'm setting here in my home with my beautiful wife and daughter who means the world to me and thanks to Mark and Anna I was able to find my better half who I can spend the rest of my life with, Mark I know I have thank you and Anna so many time for the service that you'll provided but, I would like to let everyone know who's reading this to never feel like know one has your back or your best interest at heart, because Mark and Anna had mind, the one and only The Dream Connection..
