Excellent organisation. Good communication with the tour company. Our guide Katerina was very informative. She gave us lots of tips for exploring the city ourselves after the organised tour. We found it good value for money. Standard of driving was really good and safe from. Uri.

Sound personal tour

The tour was very professional and planned. We were picked up on time directly from our hotel and comfortably transported with our own driver. Despite rainy weather, the guide did not let us get closer to Kiev in detail. The guide was very good at speaking German and had an extremely well-founded expertise. Kiev itself is a very beautiful city, but also very church- and architectural-heavy, this must already please you and can also become a bit monotonous under certain circumstances. We were satisfied and recommend it to anyone who prefers a personal private tour.

Very knowledgeable guide with an accommodating approach

Our tour included the Golden Gates of Kyiv, St. Sophia's Cathedral, St. Michael's Church, the Maidan, and the Chimera House as some of its highlights. Our guide was amazingly accommodating, allowing people flexible (i.e. extra) time to explore the Golden Gates interiors, and St. Sophia's. She was energetic and was an amazing source of information. We learned a lot about the city's history. In spite of the fact that one adult member of our group started fussing and complaining, she remained cheerful, and let the tour run overtime. We've been to Kyiv several times and have been on other tours, but this was definitely one of the most outstanding. I highly recommend this company!

Super accommodating organization with excellent guides!

I contacted Green Tour Ukraine to organize a couple tours for my family while they were visiting me in Kyiv from the U.S. Green Tour organized a custom private 3 hour walking tour of Kyiv and a day trip to Mezhyhirya for five people, aged 2 to 70! Snezhana was so easy to coordinate our plans with, so responsive and helpful. And after each tour my family came home just raving about the experience and all the interesting things they learned! I will definitely use this company again and recommend them to others!

Great guide/driver and great tours.

We did a day an half of touring with a private guide and driver while visiting Kiev. Our guide Max was excellent and prompt. His English was excellent and he was a great conversationalist. His knowledge of Kiev and the sites very good, his knowledge of recent events in Kiev excellent. We started the evening we arrived with a city tour of Kiev by night and followed up the next day with more touring of the city and Lavrov monastery. Kiev is a beautiful and large city and there is so much to see. We could have easily spent 3-4 days in Kiev and the surrounding areas. Although we did try to cram a lot into our time there we did not feel rushed. Our favorite stops were the Motherland statue/park and St. Michael's church. We were fortunate to be in Kiev during Victory Day and got to see the city celebrating and even caught some free live music. I would definitely use Green Tours again and highly recommend our guide Max.
