About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- joefN1887PL0 contributionsGreat Experience, a Must Do !!I had already passed by some of the sites we visited on the tour, but having Olga add context & history gave me a whole new perspective for the place & the people. Great Experience!!Written 6 November 2021
- mariosv8880 contributionsTotally recommendedVery well informed and pleasant guide made the travel experience even better, i totally recommend a guide like this for all the travellersWritten 29 October 2021
- RobandHanna0 contributionsMezhyhirya private tour experienceWe booked this tour last minute the night before, through Tripadvisor little expensive but worth the experience to see the old type level of corruption that was the behind a old guard style of government. The grounds were amazing what we had time to see, at 7’C and wind chill it was not the day to go on a walking exploration. The spa and the main house are truly outstanding display of over the top decadence and extravagant living that would befit a king. However it was or built for a King, these buildings stand as a reminder to Ukraine of what corruption can do. The house minder пітер (Peter) was a great personality and showed us around and explained the house rooms, he chatted to my Ukrainian partner extensively about the country and the need for change. A lot has been achieved but there is still a way to go. Ukraine is an amazing country this tour shows what a darker side can achieve but you also see what the craftsmen of this country can create. Our tour guide Tatiana was great, good English and was able to give history background to the estate and country. We will definitely return next year when the weather is warm and explore the estate lands. Great experience and enlightening, thanks to Tatiana and пітер.Written 21 September 2021
- Inspire7158470 contributionsThe best experience ever thank you Olga my tour guide!I've travelled to many places and must say Kyiv is #1 thanks to Olga. She has a passion like its an art. It was impressive!!Written 28 August 2021
- Jay S0 contributionsBest thing to do when you arriveThis tour was great and I high recommend it. I did it my first full day in Kiev and saw and learned so much. Olga was amazing and showed me so many places including stuff off the beaten path. If you do this when you first get here you’ll have such a better time and know more about how the city works and even great places to eat.Written 16 July 2021
- OlyaMarchenko880 contributionsSacred Monastery with YanaOur guide was Yana, she is a real professional! We learned a lot about the caves, temples and the life of the monks of this place. I must admit, it was a little scary to go a few meters underground. For those who are claustrophobic, I don't recommend doing this. And the rest will see the coffins of monks that are thousands of years old. The tour does not last long - only a couple of hours, but we really enjoyed getting in touch with the history of this sacred place. Be sure to climb the bell tower and visit the microminiature museum as well.Written 14 July 2021
- realwishy0 contributions3h city tour with OlgaWe had a wonderful tour through town with Olga. It was perfect for getting to know the city and learning about the history of Ukraine. Olga was a walking encyclopedia and was very knowledgeable, funny and of course friendly. Highly recommend this tour with Olga. Thanks so much for making our stay special and memorable.Written 6 July 2021
- grosmax0 contributionsWalking tour with OlgaI went for a walking tour with Olga, the tour was perfect, a lot of walking, different atmospheres, things and places I would not have found by myself, and Olga was very nice to be with. As my purpose in Kiev was to learn Russian, I asked her to speak Russian during the tour, which she did, only switching to English when needed. She was very helpful, advised me on places to go and helping me for practical matters such as metro card use and refill. I later went for a second tour with her, to Mezhyhirya, the former President’s mansion.Written 19 June 2021
- theodore_a_a0 contributionsAwesome experienceIt was a great tour, with different sights, both modern and old. Olga was an excellent guide, it is easy with her and she knows many interesting stories.Written 17 June 2021
- Irina_kusov0 contributionsBeautiful natureThis 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.Written 11 May 2021
- 241elinar0 contributionsMurals of KyivA fascinating walk through the empty city with a wonderful guide Olga. Although the murals are not very fresh, many have already lost the brightness of their colors, but I liked to stroll off the beaten track. We saw a lot of hidden sights, courtyards and the guide told interesting facts. The highlight of this unusual tour is the metro gallery of murals. Highly recommendWritten 20 April 2021
- KNATORI0 contributions6 Hour Experience Of Kyiv!Ogla was very accommodating and took her time to show all the best parts of Kyiv. I also liked the fact that she was able to show some off the beaten path areas. She was respectful, courteous and easy to get along with. I would highly recommend! Thank youWritten 18 April 2021
- AlexxWhity0 contributionsThe horrific reality of Ukrainian corruptionIt was an unplanned business trip to Kiev. I wouldn’t have chosen to travel there, but under the meager conditions of the coronavirus reality and the order of my company, I had to go. Nevertheless, I follow the news and heard about the revolutions in Ukraine, so in order to somehow have fun I decided to visit the house of the former president. The tour and guide are excellent, the grounds are impressive. I saw houses that were more luxurious, but they belonged to people who honestly earned money and bought them, and here it is a shame for Ukrainian corruption. My rating for the tour is 5 out of 5, for Ukrainian politics - 0 out of 5.Written 18 March 2021
- blackt1680 contributionsUnusual and fun underground walkOur acquaintance with Lviv began with a tour of the dungeons. We thought it would be quite unusual and exciting. We visited 3 dungeons: the Jesuits, the Dominican cathedral and the old pharmacy. In the first as our guide told, when they were excavating this particular part, they unearthed a lot of human remains, because before people were lowered into the basement and there they rotted. Of course, I had to walk on the bent ones. Because it is known from history that ancient men were as tall as today's woman, and women were even shorter. Here you will see a coffin, clothes of monks, a model of the city etc. After the tour, we went on our own to the Lviv coffee mine, also underground. Daylight our eyes didn't see that day haha In general, it is very interesting, informative, unusual. I highly recommend this tour and guide Olena.Written 11 March 2021
- NorthStar636825507480 contributionsYour assistant and friend in KievCovid definitely made changes in the way we travel and after careful research I decided to visit Ukraine, which is open to foreign tourists, and being from a green zone country, I did not have to take the test. For my safety, I did it after returning to Norway... negative, phew :) The agency was advised to me by my friend from the UK, who had already hired their guide, and this is one of the few agencies that survived in conditions of quarantine and lack of tourists. My guide was more than interested in doing her best, it was noticeable that she really missed her job. Kiev is beautiful. It has its own aura, an unusual combination of antiquity, remnants of the USSR and a new history of revolutions, corruption and a new generation that is striving to become part of Europe. To everyone who wants to understand the life of the city, I recommend this tour on the first or second day of your stay. It will show you the historical sights, and the guide will tell you about ordinary life in this wonderful city.Written 16 January 2021

My friends came from Estonia for a bachelorette party on the occasion of my wedding and we asked this company to organize a route for us. We wanted someone to take care of the organization so we could have fun and get drunk.
So, the guide, a nice 25-year-old girl kept us company, organized a visit to 3 bars, transfers by minivan, and the entrance to the nightclub. We paid for drinks ourselves.
We had a great night out. Chic speak easy bars, beautiful cocktails and awesome music made this night spectacular.

I met Kate for a bar hopping on Wednesday evening. Fortunately, we immediately found common topics for conversation, it was fun and easy. During the 3-hour tour, we were visiting bars, tasted cocktails and strong drinks. The first place was with an authentic atmosphere and live music, we watched the bartender's gangling. The second bar was located in the cinema, and I was even afraid we were going to watch a movie, but it was a trick. And the third bar was quite noisy and fun. I recommend this experience to everyone, you will have fun in the evening in the company of an educated and pretty local who will share the secrets of life in Ukraine.

Overall it is a good tour. My guide explained some of Kiev culture and took me to some bars. Drinks are fine. However, because it was THE most expensive bar hopping I ever had in Eastern Europe, I do have high expectations, and unfortunately the experience did not worth the cost. The bars are expensive, usually twice the price than bars in Kiev I visited myself. And I don’t find the drinks/atmosphere are twice better. What my guide told me about Kiev is nice, but again, I could get the same knowledge with much lower price. I would give a polite 4 out of 5.

No question, Kate is a wonderful guide for exploring some of Kiev’s hidden speakeasy bars. She is pure fun to be around and also knowledgeable about the local history and points of interest. Our tour started with dinner, included a Ferris wheel, chocolate and many bars. A fantastic night with a brilliant guide. Next time I’m in Kiev, the only choice for me will be Kate.

Kate met me at my hotel at the agreed time and we walked towards the first venue. Any questions I had about streets monuments or buildings on the walk were answered very well. Her level of detail and knowledge were top class. During the 3 hour tour everything was very well organized, no waiting around to get a seat, even on a busy Saturday night, due to her booking in advance.
Being interested in the current political situation in Ukraine, It was fascinating to listen to Kate (who had a very good knowledge on the subject) on this.
Any questions I had were answered excellently. Her level of English is top class so everything was explained to the finest detail.
We visited two very nice bars and restaurants as well as a hangout where locals drink their own type of wine.
I’d highly recommend and would be highly interested in trying out other tours in Kiev and surrounding areas offered by her.

This tour is ideal for those who want to know where the locals go, and visit beautiful or unusual places. I was asked when I booked a tour about my preferences, so I shared what expected.
Here you need to understand what level of places fit to you since cocktails are not included in the price, you pay for them separately. Cheap drinks cost about 3 euros, expensive - 13 euros. But since I was on vacation I wanted to visit best Kiev bars.
I do not remember the names of places, but the first one was a rooftop with a charming view of Kiev. Cocktail here cost me 6 euros. Then the guide took me to a basement in a dark courtyard, we ordered a beer for 5 euros, + live music and a lot of people, but the guide booked tables in each place in advance, so it was very comfortable. And the last place was also a basement with delicious cocktails, one cost me 10 euros. At the entrance it was necessary to say a password. Certainly I wouldn't have found these bars myself.
The tour was on Friday, and on this day, the nightlife of Kiev is in full swing. My girl guide was very beautiful and friendly. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening.

My guide Kate showed me some of the best Speakeasy places in Kiev. We went to three different places and she had all of the tables reserved making it easy to enjoy the night. Highly recommend you guide her as you won’t find these places on your own.

Our tour guide Kate was interesting and open, there were always topics to talk about there was a lot of laughter. The bars are absolutely amazing and there is no chance we would have found them without Kate. No tourists at all in the bars, only locals. I am not an expert, but the coctails were very good in my opinion.
Will do the tour next time again :)

My guide was Maria, she is very pleasant in communication, energetic and knows a lot of information about Kiev and the lives of ordinary people here. Maria showed me secret bars that I wouldn’t find myself and we drank some delicious cocktails. A wonderful evening if you do not know where to go in Kiev, a nightlife tour is a great option.
