  Fantastic tour with a very lovely and knowledgeable guide. The house and grounds are just incredible. I highly recommend tour. Argotours also provide a shooting range experience which is also amazing fun

  Unbelievable what total corruption buys. Totally over the top from the “zoo” to the grounds to the house.

  Loved this tour with Miroslava...She was very knowledgable and friendly...we learnt a lot about the residence. Lovely walk around the Mansion and grounds. Definately a must do whilst in Kiev.

• Worth every penny, excellent guide and so much more

  This excursion doesn't really cover much than the transport and the time of your guide, you still have to pay entry at attraction and I was concerned that perhaps we had wasted money and could have just got there by taxi for fraction of the price but I was so wrong. Our guide was Taya and she was EXCELLENT! Taya spent the journey there giving us a background to the revolution that removed Yanukovych and pointing out the various places in the city that were part of the story. Her english was excellent and she answered all our questions perfectly. The sheer vastness of the looting from the nation of Ukraine by Yanukovych and his cronies was at the same time fascinating and disgusting, just as the house is both impressive yet incredibly cheap and tacky in places. It's a unique attraction and we found ourselves short of time, we could easily have continued our visit for hours longer as there is so much to explore and Taya's informative stories and explanations were so interesting. The best reason to pay for an english speaking guide, and Taya in particular, is that she knows the complex so well. Whilst there was a group of people going around the main house on the group tour she was largely able to keep us ahead of them and therefore some excellent photo opportunities to capture the house without it being full of people. Not only were we happy to have paid what we paid we also tipped Taya and the driver because we were so impressed with the whole excursion. We can thoroughly recommend Taya and this excursion to anyone. We have even taken their details so when we return to Kiev we can use Argotours again and hopefully have Taya as our excellent guide.

• Great way to see the mistakes of Ukraine's politicians

  We had a very informative and entertaining tour guide who made a glum topic fun. We did an extensive walk through the main house and she pointed out all the details, some tacky, some amazing, that this corruption house contains. We left with a lot of insight with what was happening with Ukraine at the time, who was hurt, and what sort of creep the ex-president must have been.

• Excellent Guide, Somber Story

  Yelena from Argotours was an excellent guide, telling a somber story of public corruption on an epic scale. Her extensive knowledge of both history and current events gave us unique insight into the challenges facing Ukraine. Highly recommended.

• Yanakovich's home

  We had a tour with Argotour. Sorry I don't remember our guides name but he was an excellent guide. Very informative. He could explain a lot to us. Gave us a lot of background info so we could appreciate the amount of corruption there was in the higher levels of gov. And the new for change.

  We had a great day in Mezhyhirya with a very knowledgable tour guide. What is unclear is the price inclusion. It was clearly stated when we booked that entrance was not included in the price which apparently also regard the tourguide. We thought that 40€ per person was a little much for basically the transfer and the time for a tourguide, as entrances costs equally as much. We think that Argotour could make a better deal and offer an all-inclusive pack for the day, especially so that the entrance fee for the tourguide is included. Otherwise a day well spent!

  Had a tour via Argotour with Miroslava, she was amazing, knowledgeable, tailered the tour to my interests and was on time. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks
