Fantastic Tour with Svit

5.00Svit was a FANTASTIC tour guide- we appreciated getting all the thoughtful insights and details on history. Even my teenagers enjoyed touring the grounds on a cold and windy day- was great to get out for a walk, see the place, check out the cars and all the little surprises along the way. We went as a family of six and all enjoyed the tour. Looking forward to more tours with Svit in the future while we live in Kyiv.
A perfect choice of tour if you want to spend one day out of Kiev

5.00Great experience and enlightening, thanks to our guide Alex. We visited Mezhyhirya in about 4 hours with the pick up from Kiev central hotel. This place is truly remarkable and contains many surprising facts, these buildings remind of what corruption is capable of. We didn't waste a minute on this private tour, and even on the way we learned a lot of interesting things about Ukraine as a whole.
A pleasant way to spend the day in the Kiev region.

5.00We really enjoyed our tour with Svit. He picked us up directly from our apartment and drove us out the Mezhigirya residence. Very knowledgeable about the recent history in Ukraine and we all enjoyed hearing about his personal memories, involvements, and opinions regarding Ukrainian politics. On the way home, we stopped at the caves at the Lavra and he took us through another amazing sight - such a bonus! Highly recommend this tour, though it should be noted that it does not include a tour of the main home at the residence, the Honka. We learned a lot and appreciated a personalized tour of the grounds even though the weather was very chilly!

5.00Very interesting tour with a very knowledgeable, dynamic and friendly guide, Svitozar, who speaks excellent English. The Mezhyhirya estate is a beautiful place and I enjoyed walking through the park while learning a lot about Ukrainian politics and the 2014 revolution.

5.00This tour is definitely worth a visit. The guide met me in the hotel lobby and we went to Mezhigiryа, the trip was quick, comfortable and informative. This classy place impresses with its territory, nature. Inside the house, everything is gorgeous, here you will understand what real corruption means! The guide is very educated and friendly. His extensive knowledge of both history and current events gave me unique insight into the challenges facing Ukraine. Highly recommend!
