Who has already encountered the tour operator "Richman Travel Ukraine"?
We want to book a bus tour to Vienna with our friends, but we doubt which company to contact (we have heard all sorts of horror stories) Please advise!
I live in Uzhgorod

I never wrote any reviews, tk. I don't really like to comment. But this case was an exception for me, because. outrage knows no bounds. This is the first time I've encountered such an attitude towards a tourist.
Traveled with friends in Zakopane by bus tour.
By the way, the travel agency is an agent of TATUR, i.e. TATUR organizes the rest, while RICHMAN TRAVEL only sells tours.
There is no organization, from paperwork to the trip itself.
It all started with the fact that we bought a coupon for Groupon in the Polish Tatras for a week. It took a long time to decide, because travel agency "Richman Travel" at first seemed to me extremely suspicious, because. There were no reviews for it on any site.
We were bribed by the repeatedly proven Groupon service. Well, the idea that, most likely, the travel agency has recently begun its activities.
The coupon was purchased and this meant that the full cost of the trip was paid.
After there was a trip to the office of the travel agency with all the necessary documents.
By the way, it’s hard to call IT an office of a travel agency, because. it is located behind 7 doors, locks, without any signboard, posters. This is a little room with 2 tables, a printer, a laptop and bare walls.
When the passports were handed over

When they handed over passports and money for visas, they did not want to give us receipts that the documents and the Nth amount of money had passed into their hands. Tatyana (representative of the travel agency) was extremely surprised by my insistence on providing a receipt, and even with a seal. Some scribble with a seal still managed to "beg".
When asked when it would be possible to pick up our passports with a visa, the answer was given that 5 days before departure they would call me back and I would be able to pick up all the documents from their office.
No one thought to call back until I called myself. It turned out that the passports could not be given to us, because. according to their rules, they are issued to the group leader at the starting point of the tour, i.e. in Lviv!!! So I was initially told the opposite - visas will be issued to us in our hands !!! Why lie???
The practice of obtaining passports directly from the leader of the group is familiar to me, but why not mention this right away ???
It turned out that we had nothing to come to the office for: we will receive visas on the day of the tour, the information sheet will be sent to the post office and EVERYTHING.
Guys, what about the CONTRACT!!!
This, too, had to be taken care of. The travel agency did not even deign to mention it.
When asked about the contract, Tatyana reluctantly replied that if he
