Fantastic Tour
Published on Jul, 2021
We had a fabulous tour and our guide was an absolute expert. It was a religious holiday when we went and he knew when to go and how to get around the crowds. We had a wonderful day and highly recommend this tour.
Very enjoyable and interesting tour

I loved the tour. My guide was awesome (maxim) and very informative and we walked
and he explained a lot of the history not just of the labra but of everything surrounding me.
Very timely and it happened to be the weekend of the annual procession but we still got in to see everything. It was wonderful. The tour agency is top notch. I did multiple tours with them and enjoyed the Cherniviv trip as well as the museum of corruption and subway tours.
Very good tour and guide

My wife and I had a great experience touring with Nicolai on July 31. His English language ability was excellent and his love of the city of Kyiv and his country was evident. I think we received as good a taste of Ukrainian history, culture, and current events as it's possible to get in five hours. This tour package is an excellent value.
Excellent Tour!
