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

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.

Ukraine was the second largest soviet republic in ex-USSR. That's why you can find here a lot of memories and monuments of soviet history. One of the well known all over the world is Chernobyl, where nuclear catastrophe took place in 1986. Thousands of people have to leave their homes, running away from the dangerous radiation. Today you can see ghost city Pripayt, where time had stopped at the end of previous age. Another interesting object - museum of nuclear military missile base. It was created on the place of real military base with nuclear missiles. Here you can visit underground command center, get acquainted to different nuclear missiles and feel the military power of the soviet period. Odessa catacombs - the most famous in the world not only for its intricacies labyrinths, but also by the length that reaches almost three thousand kilometers. All these will make your holiday in Ukraine bright and unforgettable

December 2019, I decided to come to Kiev for vacation in the winter... Yes it does snow in Kiev but there was no snow today. So I asked Alexandra to show me some of the historic places in Kiev. The first sight was a church pretty close by , it was a beautiful centuries old church with a lot of history inside, there was not much gold in this church but it was a spectacular sight to see. Next we walked to the original site of the city gate installed 1350 years ago..WOW. It is amazing that part of the gate is still there , as we walked we went to the oldest church in the city which was also over 1300 years old... Talk about History!!! Alexandra knows her city and the history of Kiev!!! Form this church we walked to the Great Gold domed churches a short distance away... these were Awesome... Being in Kiev during the holidays was a special treat, the Largest Christmas Holiday Fair in the city was in full swing, and the view from the top of the bell tower was amazing with another church not far in the distance.. There was plenty of attractions from Ukraine street food , Santa’s and bears in Costume walking around Among the crowd. The last Church we went to was the blue church with golden domes , and the inside was amazing with the gold decor throughout.. And all the whole Alexandra explained the history of each place we viewed... Next on our journey we had the luck of the season to view an indoor Holiday flea market with plenty of quality Ukraine goods , clothing, toys books ornaments and almost anything you could think of , all hand made of course... At this point we were in one of the higher parts of the city and we walked down this cobblestone road which led us to an authentic Ukraine Restraunt where we stopped and ate dinner... The Borsch was so tastey and the dumplings were terrific. The pumpkin liver patte was incredible great. It felt like being at home there sitting on comfortable couches and eating this amazing food, this is a a must if your a foodie,

We will try to solve the riddles of number one attraction of Ukraine - KYIV-PECHERSK LAVRA, the second oldest Christian stronghold of Ukraine. We will try to penetrate the history of LAVRA CATACOMBS, which hold the imperishable relics of 122 monks. You will be introduced to the stunning results of medical experiments on these human remains. You will also learn what miraculous events happened here throughout centuries. In addition, we will visit 3 churches - ASSUMPTION CATHEDRAL, GATE CHURCH OF THE TRINITY & REFECTORY CHURCH and learn how to decipher the symbolism of their wall images.I will teach you how to read Ukrainian Orthodox architecture and to interpret it through the prism of color science. We will stand on LAVRA'S BEST OBSERVATION DECK, which offers a mind-boggling view of the Monastery architectural ensemble. You will see that there is a reason for every detail you come across in the Monastery grounds and that these details often go unnoticed. Entry ticket UAH120 or EUR3.6.
