Alex the guide - Alex was quite friendly and the tour was more than the history, it took more than 2 hours and he paid for our metro tickets too

Interesting tour with Anna - Anna - who speaks very good English - took us around the hills of the lavra monastry and told us lots of fun things about the area. We did a trip on the underground to get there and ended up at the huge maidan tower statue. It was a good place to leave the tour and head off to do our individual visits of the Caves and churches. A good way to discover the area!

Two really informative tours - We did the ancient town tour on our first full morning in Kiev, and the Lavra tour with the excellent Anna on our 2nd day. Both tours were really informative and both guides spoke really good English and were willing to answer extra questions. The meeting place was really easy to find (just as the website said) and the first tour in particular (old town) was very popular. I'd certainly recommend both tours as a general introduction to Kiev, and it was really interesting getting to the Lavra monastery via the deepest underground station in the world (at least until the record is soon broken!).

Lavra monastery with Ludmilla - The tour was very interesting specially the caves and the explication of it and the monks..she was very nice explaining everything. But I think 39 euros for a 1,5 hour tour it’s way too much, specially for Kiev prices.. I think this tour should be not more than 10/15 euros.
