Impressive place

Published on Oct, 2019

Lots of pretty art to see on the interior and exterior of buildings,and interesting history. Guide made it a lot easier to understand what we were seeing.

Great Trip, Learned so much

Published on Sep, 2019

Thank you so very much, we had a great trip, our personal guide Serge was amazing, his knowledge of history and the Ukraine was off the scale, we were collected on time from our hotel which is where our tour started, and spent three hours learning lots and having a private tour. This would have been very difficult doing this alone as things were not clear and there were no evidence of English guides etc. Would recommend 100% and enjoyed our visit very much, made a great day. Worth every penny ! Thanks again..

Great tour and excellent guide

Published on Sep, 2019

This was a wonderful tour. Very beautiful country side and panoramic views. Our guide made it even more special with his insight and desire to please his clients. Nickolai spoke excellent English and was very enthusiastic about the different aspects of the Lavra. Would highly recommend the tour.

Fantastic way to learn more

Published on Aug, 2019

I wanted to do know more than if I went around by myself and my guide Svetlana was exceptional. I learned about the present day activities, different styles of monks and their according burial styles and plenty more about the interesting history of the monastery. Would highly recommend if you're interested in more than just photos.

Great guide, great place!
