Kiev Pechersk Lavra is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the caves are buried relics of the Lavra monks-ascetics who lived in the period from the XI till XV centuries.

Kiev Murals Street Art Tour

For the past 2 years, on the outer walls of Kiev buildings have appeared bright and large-scale drawings – Kiev Murals, which some people consider real works of art, and others criticize and call them provincial art.

Aristocratic Pechersk Mansions

Mansions of Ukrainian tycoons of the 19 century.

Tour around Lipki area – the historic district of Kiev, which has long gained the glory of the “nest” of the Kiev elite and the residence of the highest local administration. Given the fact that Kiev was the “sugar capital” of the Russian Empire, it is not surprising that the most luxurious Kiev mansions belonged to the sugar manufacturers. Mariinsky and Klovsky Palaces, House of  Weeping Widow, Pink Castle, and Chocolate House will slightly open you their secrets

Jewish Heritage Tour

Who was the first of the Jews to appear in Kyiv and when it was – we don’t know. The most ancient stage of the appearance of Jews on this land is hidden in the depths of centuries.

Why hire a private tour guide in Kiev?

Why hiring a local guide in Kiev is a smart way to discover the Ukrainian capital. The first thought that pops up in mind is that a traveler will definitely learn more on a guided tour of a local Kiev guide than alone.

Indeed, discovering a new place with a local tour guide can give a true perspective on that specific destination. It is like looking at artwork. A naked eye can’t read art in its true meaning. But a professional can guide you through all the dimensions that will completely open it for your comprehension. ⠀

Countries of Southern Europe are oceans of history. You will definitely miss most of it if exploring it on your own. Same with the countries of the Eastern bloc.

On top of the fact that this part of the world was closed and almost inaccessible for the Westerners for about 70 years, it also has a lot of baffling things for foreigners – like the Cyrillic alphabet, almost zero English speaking population, specific mentality, and authentic culture. ⠀

Does it mean that you can’t travel to Ukraine without a tour guide? Not at all! Many travelers enjoy discovering places on their own. Every trip is an adventure! But please, always keep in mind that a local tour guide can open doors that you never knew were there.

Now back to sightseeing in the Ukrainian capital. Kiev downtown is located on the hilly right bank of the city, and many places on the map seem to be easy to get. Although, in reality, it appears quite complicated in some areas. There are lots of descents, up and down routes all around the central area. A knowledgeable local Kiev tour guide will be more than helpful in taking you along the most comfortable routes.

During a guided tour a tourist gets essential insider information from a private guide that he would never get had he toured the site himself. A traveler will save a huge amount of time because a local Kiev tour guide obviously knows the quickest way to get to any place, the cheapest but tasty place to eat, the most beautiful but hidden spot in the city.

As it is known, all street signs in Kiev are in Cyrillic, and Ukrainians do not speak English as well as in other European countries, thus, a tourist would definitely feel more comfortable in the company of a private guide.

And one more good news is that prices for Kiev private tours are lower compared with the rates in other European countries. Ukrainians are friendly people. You will certainly acquire a new friend in the person of your private guide after the Kiev guided tour!
