My guide, Liudmyla, gave a great tour of the area. It’s extremely pretty and some amazing history! I’d highly recommend visiting.
Thank you very much! The walk was wonderful! People were telling us so interesting that time would fly by without being noticed! Thanks to Luda for everything, thanks to you, I want to come to Kiev again and again.
What an amazing tour! Second time using Kiev Walking Tour group and they did not disappoint. Sasha,our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoyable tour!
Both my sister and I were really glad we did this tour! Anastasia was a really good guide and really knowledgeable. She presented the information in a really digestible way. Instead of throwing a bunch of random facts, it was presented thematically so we could see the big picture of what she was describing and how everything fit together. She also asked us what brought us to the tour and was able to add on to/customize the information based on what would be more interesting for us. Overall, this tour was very informative and Anastasia was an excellent tour guide! Would definitely recommend.
Our adorable guide Olga was very knowledgeable and she gave us a great tour in and around Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. I wish I had more time to do the other tours in Kyiv, they all seem interesting!

I've done this tour with Sasha, she was an amazing guide that explain me a lot of things about the tour and also about Kyiv and the surroundings we visit. I totally recommend to take the tour and also get to the bell tower to get an amazing view of Kyiv.
We would like to thank Lyudmila for the wonderful tour of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra! Excellent knowledge of the language, very exciting material, thanks to it we learned many new and interesting things! The tour isn't exhausting at all, it's in the same breath, you don't even notice how time passes. My guest Dan really enjoyed it, and we'll definitely use your services next time. I recommend it!
I think I had the best guide in the world for my tour in Kiev Lavra. Sasha provided me with all sorts of info and curiosities on the place and on Kiev, too. She was super professional, super expert, super kind, super interesting, super everything and I am enthusiastic I had her as a guide! Also thanks to Victoria for sending me such an excellent guide. If I am in Kiev again, I will certainly revert back to Kiev Walking Tours and I definitely recommend Kiev Walking Tours for your excursions in the city! A+++
Dear Tiziana, Thank you for your kind words! I`m pleased to know Sasha did such a great job and you loved the tour with her. I hope one day you`ll come back to Kiev and she will show do the other tours for you. All the best, Vlad
During my time in Kyiv I did three tours with this company, Stalin's bunker tour with Ann, Kyiv city walking tour with Yuliia and the Pechersk Lavra tour with Sasha. I thoroughly enjoyed all three tours, the guides were not only incredibly friendly and helpful but also extremely knowledgeable about the landmarks. Can highly recommend this company!
Thank you for your kind words! I`m very pleased to hear you did 3 tours with our company and enjoyed every one of them! I really hope you'll be able to come back to Kiev when things get back to normal to join even more tours we offer :) Stay safe and all the best, Vlad
