Additional Information

Our Private Nightlife Guide will direct you to distinct and concealed cocktail bars that you wouldn’t discover on your own!

We will guide you to top-notch bars serving tasty cocktails. Your guide will share insights on Ukrainian culture, its political climate, and the lifestyle of the youth. We assure you that we will avoid bars known for their cheap beer and subpar service during this exclusive night tour.

People’s alcohol preferences, particularly for cocktails, can vary – while some might enjoy a Bloody Mary, others might favor a White Russian. Consequently, we’ve decided not to include the cost of drinks in our Bar Crawl fees. Guests can order drinks according to their preference.

Typically, the cost of a drink ranges from 5-10 euros.

Best kept secrets - I’ve never been to a better bar crawl. In fact, it wasn’t a bar crawl, it was an introduction to the best kept secrets in a city that is Europe’s best kept secret. Olga was phenomenal, her knowledge of the city combined with her Kiev charm plus her limitless energy made her the best tour guide ever. My wife and I are avid world travelers and have visited over 15 countries over the past 4 years and we’ve never received such exceptional service. When you read this review, your next step is to book the tour and ask for Olga. Thank me later 🙂

Great bachelorette party - 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.

Fun!!! - 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.

Must Do - 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 :)

Perfect night out - 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.

Kiev Restaurant/Bar - 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.

Bar Crawl with Maria - 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.

Perfect Nightlife tour of Kiev - 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.

A good tour, could be better. - 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.
