Max was a great and funny guide, i recommend!! Experience was great, max told us a lot of interesting facts about history of these tunnels,some ukrainian law and showed us some tricks inside the tunnels, Ačiū!!
I personally did not have a good experience, but I understand that most people would love this and rate it high so I did not want to rate this too low and bring the ratings down. One thing to say right away is that our guide Vlada was awesome, spoke perfect English and was fun. Now why I did not like it: - It starts at 11AM and is 3 hours long. (Maybe they have different timeframes, not sure because my friend is the one who booked), I think it is not a good time at all because the adventure is physical and you get very hungry in that time frame. - There is a long, very small tunnel near the beginning of the tour. This is what killed me. On an empty stomach this tunnel really made me feel exhausted right away (and I’m a thin guy who does sports often) yet my heart was racing and I felt weak because of that tunnel. For me the rest of the tour (which thankfully wasn’t that physical) was spent trying to recover from my fast heart rate and stressing out wondering how many more of these tunnels I would have to go through. Because of that, the whole experience was ruined for me and I did not feel good the entire day. Two easy ways to fix that: 1) Change the time to either early morning (after breakfast) or afternoon... 2) The guide should quickly go over the layout of the tunnel before the group heads inside. At least people who have concerns or are stressed know what to expect.
Dear Famas, The time of start was designed to make it convenient to the majority of our customers, who usually finish their breakfast at 10-10.30 am and still need time to get to the meeting point. Moreover, you can always book another time option in the afternoon or a private tour at almost any time of the day. On а group tour it is not possible to consider everyone’s lifestyle, hunger, mood, physical shape and so on. For this reason there is a warning list on our website and other booking platforms where it’s said about extreme moments during this activity so it’s not for everyone. Your friend, who booked the tour had to warn you about this. All our customers, who are interested in real Urbex and know what to expect from it high rate our tours and passing the route even being in their old age and overweight. So every activity has it’s own audience , and before booking it you have to make sure if you really belong to it, just to make things easier first of all for yourself and for others as well.
It's so cool when we made silence with no lights for few minutes. Guide knows his job as well History of this underground place like his five finger
Hi Nox! Thanks for reviewing us so high! Come back, we have a lot of undergrounds to explore)
Everything in the bowels of Kiev with a passionate guide! Thanks to Max for his explanations, respect and presentation of the place. A must for a successful visit to Kiev.
Thank you for reviewing us!
Digger Oleg led us through a little corporate in the tunnels under Khreschatyk. It's very unusual to see your city from this side. You walk, you drive, and underneath you, it's like this. I recommend everyone try it once!
Спасибо за отзыв!
A very unusual experience that I've longed for. Physically not easy, but very interesting. The guys took musical instruments into the dungeon and we listened to them in absolute darkness.
Музыкальные инструменты это было просто супер! Спасибо за отзыв)
Went to Nikolskaya DSHS with friends, very cool, atmospheric. We met a bat in the tunnel, but the guide said that it is great luck and is not often) We had a guide Glory, told interestingly, shared stories from outings and other places. Thank you guys very much, it was all organized perfectly.

Location (Cadet Guy), the tour guide is handsome, you can see he loves what he does, not a stranger.

I went on a tunnel/bunker tour with my brother, his gf, and a friend lead by Max and it was seriously one of my favorite tours I’ve ever done (and I’ve traveled a decent amount). It didn’t feel like any sort of typical tourist attraction I’ve done before, and that’s exactly why I picked it. All four of us thought it was great, one of the highlights of the trip. It isn’t for everyone though, my group was all late 20s early 30s, in good shape and ready to get dirty and explore. I don’t recommend this for people who are overweight, claustrophobic, or worried about getting dirty (soil and mud dirty, not sewage!). My group loves hiking and climbing, so it was a perfect fit for us!
Thank you for your visit! We would be happy to see you on our tours once again!
