Amazing day with Vlad! - We had a private tour of Kiev by car, with Vlad. What an incredible day!
Our day started when Vlad met us outside of our hotel. From there, we toured many places in Kiev by a combination of car and walking. If you are short on time, I would recommend the tour be vehicle as we were able to see a lot in three hours. Vlad is very personable and has deep knowledge of the local area. He had a passion for teaching and his love for the city was infectious. He truly cared about our experience in Kiev. I have been on over a dozen walking/city tours throughout Europe, and I can confidently say this was by far the best. I can't wait to return and have him lead us on another tour in the future. HIGHLY recommended!
