“Absolutely amazing experience- 10/10 - This was an amazing experience. The actors were brilliant, very scary. One of the girls managed an incredibly loud, very horror-like scream, which was bone chilling. Would definitely recommend doing while in Kyiv, and will definitely return with friends when we next come back to Kyiv. Thank you!!!” - Reviewed on 2022-01-14

Discover Kyiv’s Hidden Gems

Once you’ve caught your breath, it’s time to dive into the heart of Kyiv with the Kyiv One Day Tour. This comprehensive 6-hour tour, available from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM on both days, offers a deep dive into the city’s rich history and vibrant culture. From the ancient Golden Gate to the hidden murals that tell the story of Kyiv’s past, this tour is a must for anyone looking to truly understand the city.

“Best tour I’ve ever taken - Besides Victoria being so sweet and polite, she is very intelligent and willing to explain guide. She knew so much about every spot she showed and made everything 100% more interesting. It’s amazing to have a person who lived through the soviet era and that can explain us both her personal view and the historical one. Kyiv wouldn’t have been so awesome without her. I fell in love with the history of Ukraine, its people, culture and sights, and nothing of this could be possible if it wasn’t for Victoria. I totally recommend Victoria because she really is the BEST guide in Kyiv.” - Reviewed on 2022-01-08

As you wander through the city, you’ll be captivated by the blend of old and new, from the majestic architecture to the bustling local markets. The moderate UV index of 4.0 means you can enjoy the sights without worrying too much about sunburn, though a little sun protection is always a good idea.

Embrace the Halloween Spirit

As the sun sets over Kyiv, the city takes on a new life. The waxing gibbous moon, visible if the clouds clear, adds an eerie glow to the evening, perfect for embracing the Halloween spirit.
