Fascinating Journey Through Ancient Kiev

5.00I recently took the 2-hour Private Walking Tour in Ancient Kiev, and it was an incredible experience. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared fascinating stories about the city’s rich history, architecture, and culture. Walking through the ancient streets felt like stepping back in time. We explored historic landmarks, beautiful churches, and hidden corners that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. The guide tailored the tour to our interests, making it engaging and personal. The pace was perfect — not rushed, but still fitting a lot into just two hours. I especially loved learning about local traditions and the legends behind some of Kiev’s oldest sites. Overall, this private tour is a fantastic way to get an authentic feel for Kiev’s history and charm. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of the city beyond the usual sightseeing spots.
Impeccable Service and Comfort

5.00The private transfer from Luxor Airport to our hotel was impeccable. The driver was punctual, polite, and professional, ensuring we had a comfortable and enjoyable ride. The car was modern and well-maintained, with air conditioning that made the journey pleasant. The driver took the most efficient route, and we arrived at our hotel in no time. This service is highly recommended for a smooth and comfortable arrival

5.00Met my guide the arranged location and off we went. Her English was very good and the tour was a great insight into some of the city's famous landmarks and churches. I was even given a small coaster in the Ukrainian colours which was a lovely touch. Very nice lady and I would highly recommend to everyone.
Wonderful expert led walks of Kyiv

5.00I 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!

5.00I 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!

5.00This 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!

3.00The 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

5.00Hi 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
