Know before you go

Being in Kiev and not seeing it? You will regret it for the rest of your life! This city tour, complemented with walks and inside visits, will provide you with your first insights into the "Holy City" of Kiev. Our city is more than 15 centuries old. Ancient epochs and contemporary times co-exist in its streets.
In addition to guiding you to popular places for traditional visitors to Kiev, I can provide recommendations about nightlife tours and pub crawls through central bars and clubs of the Ukrainian metropolis, give tips on shopping centers and discount seasons, advise regarding restaurants and cafes, and share information about the city's varied and active cultural life - current and upcoming theatre performances, exhibitions, and where to dance tango or salsa.
