Wonderful expert led walks of Kyiv - I visited Kyiv in August 2024 and enjoyed fabulous walking tours with both Liudmyla and Anton, who are two of the best guides I have had anywhere! They are both so knowledgeable, hospitable, and enthusiastic about introducing visitors to their beautiful, historic, and resilient hometown. Communications and arrangements were easily and quickly made via WhatsApp. Liudmyla provided a superb walk through ancient Kyiv, while Anton led me on a Jewish tour, including a visit to Babi Yar, and a tour of Podil. I had so many questions for both Liudmyla and Anton, and they patiently and expertly answered them all. It is wonderful to know that this fantastic business continues to operate and welcome visitors in spite of all of the adversity of the past years, and you should most definitely contact them when you come to Kyiv.

Fun, Interesting, and Satisfied! - I am a solo world traveler, and was fortunate enough to find this tour company and guide last fall while visiting Kiev, Ukraine!
Scheduling the tour was quick and easy. The guide, Liudmyla, returned all my calls and texts quickly in addition to answering all of my questions (in English)
I was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with her extensive knowledge of both Kiev, Ukraine, and the ex Soviet Union. Her English skills were very competent, and she had a kindness and sense of humor which made the tour that much more enjoyable.
I have had many guides in my extensive world travels that I found to be curt, rushed, and almost robotic in their presentation. Liudmyla was friendly, genuinely interested in my questions and very sweet and patient.
I was extremely satisfied with her and the company, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Scott - United States

A Fabulous Tour Experience! - This was the BEST tour experience we have ever had in Kyiv! Our tour guide, Vlad, is one of the kind! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind; he truly LOVES his city and genuinely cares about sharing its magic and amazing, often tragic, history.
Don't miss the chance to come to Kyiv and learn from its architectural masterpieces and lively culture. Even during these trouble times, Kyiv is a safe place to visit and you will be embraced by the warmth of its incredible people--like Vlad!.
We enthusiastically recommend this tour company; we will surely hire them again once we are back to Kyiv, hopefully soon!

Vlad the tour guide - Hi myself & my brother did a walking tour with Vlad as our guide, he was a excellent tour guide, perfect english & a huge amount of knowledge of the city.
With this unprovoked & barbaric attack on his Country that is truly unforgivable, myself & my brother are concerned for his welfare, we would be really appreciated if someone could let us know if he's ok? Thank you

Interesting and fun - Had a great time today with Lyudmila walking around the old city of Kyiv under snowy sky. Informative, warm and fun. Excellent English narration of legends and history of this beautiful part of the city. Also fantastic wine-and-dine tips. Warmly recommend.

quality service! - The tour was very dynamic with a lot of interesting, to-the-point information and really helpful orientation. Anastasia is very passionate about the town and really knows how to keep a group interested and involved. The two hours is perfect to see the main sites. We really appreciate the extras that Anastasia was giving: info about the food, clubs, opera, and others.
I wish to have time to go on another tour but certainly will come back another time!

an impressive architecture - The building affects people. impressive and fascinating. You must definitely see this place.
The interior design is also interesting. recent history architecture.
Made with care. However, I highly recommend coming here individually, not on tours.
You can see it in more detail. You can make an investigative trip
