5.00I have booked a tour with Ukraine to travel for my parents, as it was their first time in Kiev and I wanted them to get the most of it during a short visit. They were absolutely amazed by the beauty of the city! August is the best month to come. The staff was great, friendly and very fast with the booking. Thanks again!
A perfect introduction to a unexpectedly beautiful city

5.00We visited a snowy Kyiv for the first time this January and I was so blown away by how much I enjoyed my visit thanks to our Ukraine To Travel walking tour. My friends and I found the guide to be highly knowledgeable, reliable and friendly. She constantly went above and beyond to make our 3-hour tour the highlight of our time in Ukraine. She was full of interesting, unexpected, entertaining anecdotes and facts about the city and its people and at no point, as a group of young people, were we bored listening to endless historical details. What made this tour stand out was that she asked us if we had anything we would like to see in particular and she constantly changed the route according to our desires and what came up in conversation. At the end, we carried on chatting and we realised we hadn't even had time to pay attention to how cold it was outside and shared a mulled wine at a Christmas market we would never have found without such a dynamic guide! Highly recommended- this company makes a beautiful city come alive!
