Highlights
- St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral - Although not one of Kyiv’s most important churches, St Volodymyr’s Cathedral arguably has the prettiest interior. Built in the late 19th century to mark 900 years of Orthodox Christianity in the city, its yellow exterior and seven blue domes conform to standard Byzantine style.

Spent hours wandering the city seeing places I would never have found alone while Inna gave me an indepth history of EVERYTHING we saw!

Made me want more - Yana was simply amazing. It is always great when the tour guide is passionate about the subject matter. In this case her passion and ethusiasm was infectious. Made the 6 hour tour seem too short, and left me wanting more. Her encyclopedic knowledge of the city and historical events is spectacular.

Amazing Exceptional Experience (must do) - Best tour experience I have had so far. Tour Guide Inna from GuideMe tours was amazing, she was informative, detailed and her energy was very positive. Her depth of knowledge was brilliant and always was eager to entertain our questions.
We stopped for Chocolate from Lviv Handmade Choc and Ukraine's Restaurant on her recommendation, it was perfect chocies.
It was overall fun walking tour, covering over 15km of city, included all the major and unique sites of Kiev.

Best thing to do when you arrive - This 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.

6 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 you

Your assistant and friend in Kiev - Covid 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.

Cool trip - My family and I decided to get to know Kiev better, and a 6-hour walk was a great solution, because it does not hastily cover all the main attractions of the city. We really liked that along the route we could adjust the topics and stopped for snacks and coffee in cool places. The organization is very high quality and the guide adapted to our desires. Nice experience

Nice and informative - We took this tour in winter, it was a bit cold, but we enjoyed Kiev, its chic Soviet architecture and ancient temples. A wonderful tour for the whole day for those who want to get around the entire city center. Our guide Tatiana was amazing and knowledgeable.
