Here's an announcement we received... we have no affiliation with this
group but we have received some feedback praising them.
Dear Friends of Tuva,
We hope you will be interested to hear that the Translation Agency TuvaLingua
has recently been opened in Kyzyl.

Italian, Spanish, Mongolian, Turkish, Chinese and the languages of former Soviet
Republics.

We can provide you with an interpreter to accompany you around Kyzyl.

e-mail: tuvalingua@rambler.ru
We subsequently received the following message from the folks at TuvaLingua:
I write this message to inform you about additional services we can offer
to foreign tourists (especially independent travelers) this summer.
- Information Service. We can provide tourists with info (hotels, prices,
plane/train ticket offices, opening hours, direct flights from Kyzyl,
currency exchange, directions and so on).
The info we would like to provide tourists with is first-hand and the most
recent. We have collected info this week. It’ll be the most reliable info
for this summer.
The info service costs 30 rubles.
- Phone call with interpreter from our office to any place in Kyzyl.
This service costs 30 rubles + phone call cost (approximately 5 rubles per
minute). Discounts for 2 and more calls by one person.
- Phone call with interpreter from Central Post-Office to any place in
Russia. Our interpreter will accompany the tourist to the Central
Post-Office and help to translate the call.
This will cost 60 rubles + phone call cost. Discounts for 2 and more calls
by one person.
- Transfer airport/bus station – hotel or hotel – airport/bus station.
We will meet tourists at the airport, bus station or any other place in
Kyzyl and bring them to the hotel or any place in Kyzyl and help them
translate at the reception and otherwise. There will be English, German,
Italian, French or Spanish driver and/or interpreter.
This service costs 600 rubles (from 1 to 4 people), 150 rubles per person
for a group from 5 to 8 people.
1 $US = 24 Rubles, 1 € = 37 Rubles (current exchange rate in Kyzyl)
So, for interested travellers, this looks like a great deal!
