The first time I met Svet he spoke excellent english and as we were headed into town he asked me a few questions.  He was getting the feel of what I was wanting to do and see during my first trip.  He also informed me of the con artist tricks and what not to avoid.  Also let me know the amount of money I shouldn't and should carry depending on what I was going to do during the day.  My first thought, before I met Svet, was I would give him a shot and than use other guides.  Well I used one other and decided to just use Svet for the remaining times of my trip.  He was very intelligent and informed me of the culture and history in the Ukraine.  If anyone has any reservations about a translator or guide they should just go ahead and book Svet.

My first trip to Kiev began with the fact that Svet (he speaks excellent English) met me at the airport. The tour was held as a meeting with an old friend, the guide shared a deep knowledge of Ukrainian history and culture, told many interesting facts and gave several important lifehacks of staying in the city. Thank you, I will apply on return!
