I myself am an avid traveler and I’m convinced that traveling is powerful. It’s the most exciting experience one can have. Inspirational, fun, and educational, all at once.

Given these points, creating and designing private tours of Kyiv is where the magic happens. I always enjoy sharing the wonder of travel with my guests.

My Background

My major is a teacher of foreign languages (English and German). In the past, I was working for international companies in the banking and IT spheres. Since 2016, I’ve been a self-employed private local guide in Kyiv.

As a certified English-speaking tour guide, my formal training in Kyiv has been a cornerstone of my guiding career. Yet, my expertise extends beyond the classroom. In essence, I have a big passion for history. From a tender age, the annals of history, especially those intertwined with my homeland and Eastern Europe, have always captivated me. 

My guiding philosophy is forever evolving, thanks to the countless lectures and seminars I’ve attended, helmed by some of Kyiv’s esteemed history researchers. As many of my tourists mentioned in their reviews, the depth of my knowledge and passion for the city shines through in every tour.

The transition to becoming a self-employed private local guide was a natural progression. Every tour is an opportunity for intellectual exchange, and the lively discussions with guests are the aspects of my work that I cherish the most.

So, welcome and let me be your Kyiv guide!

Why You Need a Local Guide while Traveling to Kyiv?

Hiring a local guide in Kyiv can greatly enhance your travel experience in the city. This is because Kyiv is a city steeped in history, with a plethora of historical sites, museums, and landmarks to explore. A local guide can help you easily navigate these sites, providing valuable insights into their historical significance and making your visit more meaningful.

One of the key advantages is that they can help you uncover hidden gems you might not discover on your own. With their insider knowledge of the city, a guide can take you to off-the-beaten-path sites and share interesting stories and facts about each location.

Moreover, a local tour guide can help you connect with the local community and culture. Ukraine has a unique culture and traditions, and a local guide can provide valuable insights into the local customs and ways of life. 

Finally, hiring a private guide in Kyiv can help you save time and avoid common tourist pitfalls. With their expert knowledge of the city, you can navigate the city’s transportation systems and avoid crowds at popular tourist destinations. This can help you optimize your time and energy during your stay in the city.
