Filled with theaters, museums, religious sites, modern buildings and ancient ruins, the city of Kiev is the center of Ukrainian culture. The Monastery of the Caves, founded in 1015, and Saint Sophia Cathedral, founded in 1037, are both World Heritage Sites.

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.
