- 648stijnd0 contributionsGreat Experience!!Amazing guide, spoke English very well and was very helpful during our tour. A awesome experience was created and memories were made. Could not have wished for someone better!Written 7 March 2024
- Igxxxkind0 contributionsKind and Responsive Guide in KyivI had a great experience with Alexei in late June 2023. He was very responsive and kind showing me the Yanukowich residence and the aftermath of Russian invasion. His tours are well recommended.Written 24 August 2023
- Travel350650299440 contributions1st timeers using big gunsHi me and my friend visited on Friday 22nd of January and had an excellent time there. Alex picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off there afterwards. Very good tutoring on the use of the guns and safety. Having only ever used a couple of small hand guns and air riffles many years ago getting the chance to use military guns was quite an experience. I would highly recommend these guys. Regards Stephen Rolls and Steven Killingworth from England 🇬🇧 .Written 27 January 2022
- Mashhor800 contributionsI like itI enjoyed it very much and the trainer is very kind and an excellent trainer and it was a beautiful and enjoyable experience and I advise everyone to try itWritten 12 January 2022
- memo_Sev19830 contributionsHasta La Vista, baby!Alex, the guide from Argotour picked me up in front of the hotel Ukraina (behind Maidan). He is a quite sympathetic and cool guy, speaking English well. After one hour drive we arrived at the shooting range. The guide who instructed me about the guns was even an Alex, also speaking English well. He explained everything very understandable. It was my first experience with guns like the Kalashnikov, Colt M4, Hatsan , Glock17, and a sniper gun. You can use between 5 different packages with different guns and different numbers of bullets. I would never thought that it can be so difficult to hold a gun in the right position and that it needs so much concentration and muscle strength. Sometimes I needed a short break during 10 shots. It was an amazing experience. I travelled a lot so far but such an attraction I had the first time here in Ukraine. I had some successful shots which made the attraction much more attractive. The sniper gun was the most I liked. So don’t hesitate if you like to experience a very special option of adrenaline kick. You don’t have to have a very strong body. Concentration and to see the target in the right way are more important. This was something I could do again every time and every time with Argotour!Written 31 December 2021
- Abdellah_EL0 contributionsMy first shooting experience sure not the last !Great first experience with clear information and various amazing guns. worth to do. Thanks to the professional staffWritten 9 December 2021

- MichelleW2770 contributionsFantastic afternoonWe were picked up in a modern comfortable car by our driver and guide Alex who spoke very good English, he was very friendly and chatty, he informed us of what to expect once we got there. Our instructor was also named Alex who talked us through how to use the 5 guns in our package, he was very informative and patient, due to the fact we were beginners I didn't expect to hit any targets, but with his guidance I surprised myself and did fantastic when using 2 of the guns and even managed to hit 5 targets at 100 metres. Our guide Alex then asked if we would like pictures of us posing with a few of the guns, which he did with our own phones. He then took us back to the location where he picked us up from. Big thankyou to Alex and Alex for an enjoyable and memorable afternoonWritten 30 November 2021
- Trevor S0 contributionsShooting the Breeze..and sometimes the targetsThe journey to the range took 40+ mins but time flew by as our guide Alex was a really knowledgeable person to talk to on nearly every subject and very funny too. When we arrived at the range there was a wide array of weapons and our personal shooting instructor (also called Alex) patiently took us through safety protocols and then tutored us on how to shoot a variety of firearms at the targets. Lots of fun and a great way to spend an afternoonWritten 26 November 2021

We went into places we'd not have had the confidence on our own to go into whilst she explained the history and everything we were looking at. The catacombs were fascinating and she was kind enough to point out extra things to go and look at in our free time after. Highly recommend - defn worth booking thank you!!Written 20 October 2021
