What To Expect
Golden Gate
The Golden Gate is a symbol of Kiev, the oldest defence structure of Kievan Rus that survived until now. It is the main gate of ancient Kiev. It was built by the decree of Yaroslav the Wise in 1037. The height of the defensive fortifications of the city of Yaroslav with fences reached a total of 16 m, a width is 20 m, and at the bottom with slopes – up to 27 m.
Saint Sophia Cathedral
The St. Sophia’s Cathedral is the greatest architectural structure, built by Yaroslav the Wise the Grand Prince in 1037. It preserved until now not only the richness of ancient architecture, but also the picturesque decoration of the 11th century, mainly mosaics and frescoes. Religious and state ideas of that time were embodied in the artistic image of Sophia of Kiev. The ensemble of mosaics is decorated with the main altar of the St. Sofia’s Temple. St. Sophia Cathedral is included in the UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

5.00It's all very cheerful, no boring. Jana told me without interruption. With humor, in a free manner. Good choice of places, I think. It was a little stressful not having air conditioning on this hot day) good balance of walking and automobile. It feels like a person knows an object and loves it!
Thank you guys - fell in love with Kiev

5.00Visited a sightseeing individual tour of Kiev with Mikhail. It went more than fine. Mikhail was so passionate about sharing knowledge and information with us, you can see that a man is living it. A very nice impression of himself and the city. Also thanks to driver Gennady for the comfortable ride and, of course, Igor for quickly organizing all this. We will certainly continue to get acquainted with the capital and, of course, with this team of great professionals.
