What To Expect

Urbex Tour

Guide will meet you on metro station "Dnipro" or if you want you will be picked up from your place. For passing underground route you need to wear comfortable shoes and clothes which you will be not upset to make a little bit dirty and wet - you are going to real underground tunnels. Be ready for adventures! Pants must be with belt, or take belt with you separately.The temperature underground is about + 12 °, regardless of the temperature on the surface. Don't take massive backpacks and bags. Better not to take bags at all, or take a smaller one. It is not comfortable to move in tunnels with big bags full of massive camera gear. You will be provided with: • torches • gloves • rubber high boots (from Soviet military protective wear set) • transfer between objects are included PART 1. Depending on a season first part of the combo UrbEx tour is a visit to drain tunnel system or underground river. This part takes 1,5 - 3 hours of walking through underground tunnels. We will give you torches and special gum boots which you will wear over shoes to keep feet clean and soft. With experienced guide you will: • walk 1,5-3 kilometers through the tunnels • know out everything about Kiev's underground world • feel how is it to be in absolute darkness • get totally new experience about cityTransfer between objects are included t tour price. PART 2. Explore one of the abandoned Cold War bunkers forgotten since USSR times. Bunker expedition is chance to turn out behind massive Soviet hermetic blast door in abandoned fallout shelter. The major idea of visiting this object is to feel yourself in a time when all people have been living in a fear of nuclear attack. Guided tour usually takes near one hour. You will: • touch one of the hidden pages of Ukrainian history • see real civil equipment frozen in time • explore how to survive after nuclear war

Super interesting and different experience in Kyiv. The bunker is full of artifacts and huge. The sewer trip down the manhole is a very different experience, make sure you are reasonably fit for it! You are given the overall boots so you don't get wet, make sure to take a belt to attach them to. Guide was chilled and showed me a lot of interesting things.
A tour for all adventurers and history enthusiasts

We had a really interesting tour with our guide Artem. Artem has decades of experience and can provide a lot of background information. He is a very quiet guy, so ask him lots of questions. We saw the drainage canals of Kiev from Soviet times and from 150 years ago. Afterwards we visited a bunker where you can still find many interesting things from Soviet times. Time has stood still there. Very interesting!
Unexpected beauty of the 'under world'

We had a wonderful time. Artem, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and explained a lot about Soviet history on the bunker portion of the tour, which was wonderful. He was also a fantastic guide for the underground part of the tour, and was very accommodating with our silliness. I would definitely recommend as a must when visiting Kyiv.

Artem was our guide and he had great patience and knowledge. He took some really good photos for us and I would recommend others to try this experience in the tunnels. The bunker is very real and certainly shows it's age but it still sadly has a purpose today due to the air raids.
A good way to discover Kiev underground

To do a tour is good, but to do a tour with a guide so informative and enthusiastic makes it so much better. Me and my son were lucky to have that this experience. Really well thought out, but still feels like you are experiencing something very few people get to see. Tiring but well worth it!!
Great thing to do in Kyiv

We expected this tour to be great but even though, it was far beyond our expectations. If you have a spared afternoon in Kyiv, you would hardly find better way to spend it. I should also highlight great, individual approach of the guide who felt more like a crew member over the time of the tour.
Thank you!

Max! Thank you! I'll see you for more adventures. MUST-SEE for urban explorers. I would remember our trip to Kiev for a long time, and this is just the first time, the city offering a little bit of nice possible exploration. Big up!
