We loved our tour! We were there during extreme cold and lots of snow. Our driver was safe and we felt comfortable. We saw everything despite the weather and our guide, Myroslava, was very careful to check in and make sure it was a good experience despite the weather. I highly recommend this tour to get a good overview of Kyiv

Tanya was very helpful and friendly. You will not only knows about the attraction you are visiting but also a lot about the lives and culture of Ukraine from the conversation. Tanya was very active in answering our questions and translating with the street vendor for us. The trip was very well organized. She is very knowledgeable about the history and different attractions that are available in Ukraine, she is able to bring you to places where you probably won’t come across from research online. The whole experience was more like traveling with a friend then tourist guide.

This is a gorgeous place, especially now, in the spring. The nature is wonderful, the territory of the park is very well-groomed. After the president's escape, people stayed here to look after and take care of the place. The house inside is completely different, made with bad taste, in the royal style. Seems like the person had problems with his ego. The tour is good, the guide is very knowledgeable about the current situation in Ukraine. So come here in good weather and enjoy your walk! P.S. to get inside the retro car museum you need to take a golf cart, it’s extra experiences.
