Excellent Lavra Tour

Published on Nov, 2019

Our tour guide Anton was brilliant. He had extensive knowledge about the history of the Lavra and was very informative. We really enjoyed our day and would definitely recommend the tour. Thank you!

Amazing tour! Very impressed

Published on Jun, 2019

My guide Iryna was fabulous, she had so much interesting knowledge that let me know a lot about the exhibits in the museum and also about the history of Pechersk Lavra. I had a fabulous time and Iryna was so friendly and welcoming, I had an absolutely lovely day. The caves underneath the monastery were very interesting, not a place to be missed. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kiev

Pechersk Lavra Adventure

Published on Jun, 2019

My tour Guide Natalia has mastered both - Ukrainian Culture and History -she was also able to concisely let me now - into the most clear English that could be “possible” all the Heart of the matter. Her conciseness was completely out of the conventional approach. Not only was she enthusiastic upon the inherent aspects of religion/History/culture/mystical Ukrainian affairs but she was also able to foster interests in those fascinating subjects to more profound extents. Therefore, from them onwards, the once-upon-conventional tourist wanted to go to places most people do not want to. Thanks for the treasure. Indeed

Wonderful and Interesting Tour

Published on May, 2019

A really fun tour. The Pechersk Lavra is a must see in Kyiv, and Iryna is a wonderful guide. I learned a lot about the history of the monastery. After the monastery we visited the Gold Museum, Iryna had previously worked there as a guide and as such was very knowledgeable about the exhibition and the history of the items on display. It was really interesting to learn about the different peoples that have called Kyiv home throughout history.

Just completed the Pechersk Lavra...

Published on Aug, 2017

Just completed the Pechersk Lavra and Gold Museum tour. Our guide Iryna from Amazing Ukraine was 'amazing'. She was so knowledgeable and able to explain things so well. The tour worked really well and I would recommend it to anyone.
