Forget the emails . Even the reps in the Phoenix office say the same thing . There are standard emails that go out automatically . Many of the ladies authorize standard responses so it is really impossible to know if you are getting a real email or not . There are scams aplenty with foreign bride sites and many men who mistakenly think they can meet someone overseas from the comfort of their own living room. Yes Btw... the pics are photoshopped ! The tours are real. I went on a solo tour and they have real staff in a real city who work hard to arrange multiple dates . I have gone to China twice . You absolutely need to get on a plane . You may not meet all of the girls you request but you will meet several who more or less fill your criteria . I was very busy for the time I was there .

In summary, I would recommend A Foreign Affair to a friend.

First of all, I have not taken the tour and I just recently started to communicate with one lady from China. I plan on registering for a tour later but I wanted to test the site first:

1.- There are a lot complains about fake mails from girls. AFA does have a disclaimer that most first mails from girls are sent automatically and that the lady may not know they are being sent. Supposedly they are sent because the male profile matches certain characteristics with the woman profile (I doubt this but the agency is trying to pitch in every single new girl on the site to see if you bite). In any case, I know the mails are sent by the agency, PLEASE do not complain if the lady does not know about if this email was sent to you.

2.- Photos. There are complains about photos. Keep in mind that most photos are from a studio or professionally taken, especially Chinese, Philippine and/or Ukrainian. Also men complain that once they see the lady in a non-professional photo or in person, she does not look like the girl they have been corresponding with. Well, take a professional photo of you in...

The girls are real, I have met and been with several beauties.

However, the emails are fake. And the beauties that I "received" emails from did not know anything about the emails that I received. Obviously, the emails are written by a professional writer somewhere in one the offices of AFA.

Example, one girl sent me an email telling me she was interested, I replied that I was interested also. Next day, I am "too old" for her. Big change in one day. The cost of this was $6 to open the first one, then $10 to reply and then $ 7 to get the bad news. This is absurd.

They send the emails hoping you will open the email and thus have to. The problem is this, some of the girls are actually interested in me, but they are obscured by the fake emails.

I went to Cebu twice and Davao once. I paid the $795 each time and met many very nice beautiful girls. This was worth it to me, 3 X $ 795 or $2400 for 3 trips. This will tell you how beautiful the girls... (Read the full review)

Considering the number of scammers on the free sites, I decided to try the so called "executive service" offered by foreign affair. Only $15000. For that they want a list of preferred women and they do the rest. The problem is the women most of us prefer are just models. They aren't women looking for husbands. Check it out yourself. Google the self description text and you will find it posted all over the internet. The pictures will also be seen under different names and different descriptions. Are the fat girls legit? I don't know, I didn't check them out. Let me ask you the question, who is going to pay $15000 for a fat Russian?

In summary, I would not recommend A Foreign Affair to a friend.

I've had a profile on Loveme.com for several years. I'd receive quite a few letters in my inbox. But I'm also on Russian/Ukrainian social network site. I would find some of these ladies and when I tried contacting them through the social networking site, they would either block me, ignore me, claimed they have no idea who I am, or claimed its some kind of mistake. I've had only a couple who actually friended me, but we never talk and they seem to use their profile to further their occupation, ie. modeling, djs. I guess meeting them in person through the socials would be better but then if that's the case why bother having all these false email correspondence?

In summary, I would not recommend A Foreign Affair to a friend.

I am one of the customers for the recent AFA tour to Kiev, Poltava, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, and Zaparozhye. This letter is to express great appreciation for the work that Joe and Anna have both done on this tour.
Joe and Anna did everything that was necessary to make the tour a wonderful experience.

Each Social event was coordinated so that the local women who attended had enjoyable experiences. Each of the American visitors on the tour had multiple opportunities to meet very attractive and enthusiastic potential life partners at each Social event. It was very apparent that Joe and Anna were doing their best to help each man to fulfill his dream at the Social events and at the personal introductions on the following days. The great majority of tour members talked openly about how enjoyable and opportunity-filled their tour experiences were becoming. The majority of tour members openly talked about how appreciative they were of the efforts that Joe and Anna were making on their behalf.

Several of the other tour members told me about how this tour was a life changing experience.

I personally met several Ukrainian women with whom I would be delighted to explore a... (Read the full review)

First, the rating by stars is difficult. The website is very easy to navigate and the site also lets you be detailed in your search. Naturally, it is very easy to join, for they want your money. There is nothing wrong with having a business such as this, but once in their system, the quality goes downhill rapidly. Yes, I am sure there are those who have found a lady and are happy. But, the road to that happiness is extremely expensive, time consuming, and you will have many, many misdirections.

Quality of photos? Another tough question to answer. The photos are very good. Mainly, most are done professionally, which is understandable for the women wish to present a 'good picture'. Again, that is where it ends. It is rare to find a natural photo of any of the Chinese women. For some reason, they feel it is necessary to alter their features. Most men have reported that once they do view an unaltered natural photo, they do not even recognize the women whom they had been corresponding with. It does not take a trained eye to see some of the atrocious... (Read the full review)

From the moment that I decided to go to the August, 2014 Social in Cebu, until the time that I returned, I had one of the best experiences that I have ever had. First, AFA in Phoenix was highly professional in making all arrangements, and in telling me all about the process (how it works, what to expect, how to make the most of my time in Cebu). I identified about 20 Ladies who I wanted to meet, and began writing to each of them. After a short while, I realized that I did not have chemistry with a few, and a few probably felt the same about me. But I eventually identified 9 who I wanted to invite to the Socials (7 came on Friday, and 2 came on Saturday). I met four of them before the Socials for dates, which is a great experience and I highly recommend.

The Staff in AFA Cebu is simply the best. From the moment that I was met at the Cebu Mactan Airport by Luz (she took me to the Waterfront Hotel and stayed until I was fully checked in), through the help with... (Read the full review)

My input and experience regarding AFA Romance Tours, ...GO! Just GO! Do not write ANY letters unless you have a seat on a plane! No substitute for being there, no real need to waist any money writing anyone... the key factor is; You Must Be There Physically! Arrive with a list of possibilities or sort through the profiles when you get there...but you have to get there!

When you have Plane Tickets. then if you are really compelled to do so, only write to a few women. Starting a letter with "I am coming to (Her city) on (Date)...I find your profile interesting maybe we could get to know each other a little before I arrive? That format will get a response, if she is genuinely interested... no lady that is serious about a relationship wants a pen-pal or e-mail buddy...THEY WANT TO SEE YOU, Touch You, Look into Your Eye's and know you are real! Isn't that what us GUYS WANT TOO? No letter can do what one actual meeting can accomplish.

I know because I wrote two women before I arrived on my tour. One of those women is now my Fiancée...we were engaged after our first meeting! Sometimes... (Read the full review)

I just wanted to say I was on one of the recent tours.........Went to 3 socials. There was a good mix of ladies of all ages. I had no problem getting dates and just wish the trip was longer. I met 4-5 wonder girls and plan on returning on my own again to follow up where I left off. I felt safe in Ukraine, despite what the media reports. The dollar goes far with their decline in their currency, so dating costs even less now. In my experience, the AFA staff over there made sure I had something to do each day, and had recommendations on where to go, eat, etc. Nothing comes close to women of this caliber in the USA. I find that women in their late 20s, early 30s are a good match for me. I'm in my early 40s. I refuse to date in the USA anymore. Too many games, too many men chasing too few women in the USA. However, Ukraine is where I shall return.

In summary, I would recommend A Foreign Affair to a friend.
