About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Stuart_Away_Again0 contributionsOutstanding in Every WayThis was a great trip booked in advance with Green Tour Ukraine. Quite a long way out from our base in Kyiv but we’ll worth over 7 hours travelling. Located at the only surviving command silo and missile silo left in Ukraine, this place oozes Cold War. Vehicles and tanks abound including the transport and installation transports for the missiles themselves. A small museum records the history of missiles in Ukraine and then the main event, underground tunnels through to the command silo, very small lift 45m down til the 12 and 13 floors to the command room and the famous button and emergency accommodation. Back up through the massive ventilation plant room and then time to visit the outdoor exhibits. Really good day out and special thanks to Elena our guide who was a walking encyclopaedia of all things missiles, Soviet era and Ukraine.Written 25 October 2021
- Pbitz0 contributionsAwesome!!Dymtro was great! The places we went around the city and the conversation was wonderful! We liked it so much we booked him for the next day!!! The weather was cold and a bit rainy.Written 21 September 2021
- FabienneH1010 contributionsGreat tourSergij was the perfect guide and the tour across the city and to the island was amazing! I recommend it highly to discover Kiev by bike.Written 11 September 2021
- MrsMurdo0 contributionsPrivate tour of KievExcellent organisation. Good communication with the tour company. Our guide Katerina was very informative. She gave us lots of tips for exploring the city ourselves after the organised tour. We found it good value for money. Standard of driving was really good and safe from. Uri.Written 20 August 2021
- pwelch0 contributionsAvoid this companyI booked the Small Group Tour of Lviv. We turned up at 9:55 for our 10:00am tour and no guide was there. After two phone calls to Green Tour they said that the guide was late and would come at 11am. To be fair they offered to refund the tour, but this didn’t get sorted until I contacted customer care. They offered to provide the tour for free. We turned up again at 11am where the guide asked my name and where I was from but ignored my friend. She actually said that the tour was only booked for 1 person and not 2 which was not true. She didn’t make very much interaction other than to say about 5 times that “I’ve took the money” and she was “providing this tour for free”. She then proceeded to rush us around to finish in 1 hour 40 mins. My friend was really upset that there wasn’t enough time to take photos as it was so rushed. He actually left at 12.30pm because he was unhappy not to have been even spoken to by the guide one single time - and there were only two of us on the tour. I would therefore NOT recommend this tour or Green Tours. The guides are unreliable and unprofessional and I suggest you book with another reputable company.Written 12 August 2021
- Z358QYirinad0 contributionsEnglish tour in KievDriver Yuriy and guide Konstantin were great. Very professional, Perfect English, very flexible for requests. We were just 2 on the tour, so ended up being on a private tour. My son and I enjoyed this tour a lot. Highly recommended!!!Written 11 August 2021
- N8528KQstever0 contributionsDon’t take the slow beach roadFor unknown reason, the driver decided to take a route which went through several beach towns with narrow roads and huge amounts of traffic on a Sat. It took over 3 hrs to reach the site and 2 hrs home so I had to shorten my tour by 1 hour. The guide was very informative and the site is worth a trip.Written 17 July 2021
- Dave_Tina0 contributionsWonderful ExperienceThe ladies were wonderful. Mother daughter team are very nice. Daughter speaks good English and translate for mom. It was fun getting in there and mixing up the dough and getting to cut up all the ingredients for the borscht. The Varenky are fun to make and had three different kinds. When I come back to Kyiv, this will be on my list. My wife and I had fun. It is a must if you want to taste the Real Ukrainian dishes.Written 2 July 2021

- spotterBIETRY0 contributionsHighly recommended!Very good tour with great views of the city. I highly recommend this tour to tourists. Thank’s a lot to the guide too, very friendly and makes great explanations, that permits to know perfectly the story of Kharkiv.Written 3 October 2020
- madelines6320 contributionsGreat experience, and great to support localsMy parents visited me in August 2019 while I was living in Ukraine. This experience was a highlight for them, and they still tell their friends stories, especially because of the “at home” feel!Written 6 June 2020
- LydMo0 contributionsExceeded ExpectationsOur private Ukrainian Cooking Class in Kiev exceeded expectations. Everything from the private kitchen in a local home, to the explanation of the ingredients, and the process of preparing the food contributed to the authentic experience of learning more about Ukrainian culture through its food. Our hosts were welcoming and kind, the food was delicious, and the entire experience was enjoyable despite our level of expertise with cooking. I would highly recommend this class to everyone, no matter your age or background, as an excellent way to immerse yourself in Ukrainian culture while enjoying good food and conversation.Written 22 March 2020
- neilnchalan0 contributionsExcellent way to see a lovely city!We had a half day guided tour of Kiev and our guide Anna was brilliant. She took us everywhere in Kiev and her knowledge of the history of Kiev was second to none. Thanks to Anna our 3 hour tour didn’t feel like we’d been walking and talking for that long. It is probably the best way to see the city and I would recommend it to anyone.Written 29 February 2020
- robertdO7455WL0 contributionsGreat stay enjoyedBoth myself and the wife enjoyed the stay . The room was very clean and nice the food very great both breakfast and midafternoon meal was very good. The staff every where were very kind and lovely people to speak with. The room had all you can look for in the room i was very pleased and shocked how well the "wifi" was fast! Id come back as I know my wife had been at this location before and only had great things to say about the hotel.Written 27 February 2020
- 538yukok0 contributionsVery much worthwhile cooking class to see the value of home cookingTruly worthwhile excursion, compactly arranged in three hours including the transportation. Also very flexible in scheduling. The class was hands-on for a small group (they hold a class for solo, too). Food is a full meal equivalent so do not eat before the class I now feel to have understood why Borsch has been loved by so many people for a long time. Home made one is distinctively delicious.Written 23 February 2020
