Dymtro was great! The places we went around the city and the conversation was wonderful! We liked it so much we booked him for the next day!!! The weather was cold and a bit rainy.
Driver Yuriy and guide Konstantin were great. Very professional, Perfect English, very flexible for requests. We were just 2 on the tour, so ended up being on a private tour. My son and I enjoyed this tour a lot. Highly recommended!!!
The tour was amazing. Even though it was freezing cold outside the driver was great the tour guide was excellent. Overall great experience
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad that you had a great tour of Kyiv even on a cold winter day. Thank you for traveling with us!
We had a half day guided tour of Kiev and our guide Anna was brilliant. She took us everywhere in Kiev and her knowledge of the history of Kiev was second to none. Thanks to Anna our 3 hour tour didn’t feel like we’d been walking and talking for that long. It is probably the best way to see the city and I would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for your feedback on TripAdvisor! We are pleased to hear that the city tour with Anna brought you such positive impressions. Thank you for recommending this tour to future travelers. Best greetings from Ukraine!
I absolutely loved Kyiv and the people. They are some of the friendliest I've experienced on my travels. The food is good and the streets are bustling at night. I would definitely go back.
Many thanks for your kind feedback! We are glad that you liked the city and the people in Kyiv. Hope to see you on our tours in the future!
I had booked this tour as part of a group, but I was the only one on the day so was lucky enough to have the guide and driver to myself. We covered the main areas of the city and the key landmarks. When stopping at various points it was a good balance between having enough time to see things but not waste any time. I learned lots of interesting facts about Kiev and was given recommendations of places to eat and of other places of interest to check out, that weren't covered on the tour. The 3 hours whizzed by and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would recommend the tour.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We are very happy that you had a great time on a small-group Kiev city tour with our guide and discovevred the main city’s attractions. If you visit Ukraine in the future, don’t hesitate to contact us. Take care!
<p>Interesting tour, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly tour guide for a reasonable price.</p>
<p>Superb tour providing a great overview of Kiev, would recommend doing it early on in your visit. Guide had excellent knowledge and took into consideration my own interests before commencing, while also introducing some very interesting parts of Kiev which would be very easy to miss. Can't beat the price.</p>
<p>Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to help us in whatever we needed.</p>
