Highly recommend Zvit's guided tour - Zvit was an extraordinarily knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide who was ready for anything. He even had an extra coat in the trunk for me. We thoroughly enjoyed his tour and have a much better understanding of Kyiv's complex and fascinating history as well as the beauty that continues.

So good we booked second day - We made an enquiry about a guided tour at our hotel reception. Within the hour we were collected by our guide Svitozar. Just the two of us with him in a private car. A really great way to see round the city with a very personal feel. Svit was able to negotiate the busy Kiev traffic and could always get a parking space close to the attractions. A very likable and knowledgeable young man who made myself and my wife feel at ease right from the start. We were so impressed that we decided to book again on the next day to visit the corruption house and other museums. Svit's spoken English was perfect and as well as being able to provide vast amounts of information about the history of Kiev and Ukraine he was also able to give us a great insight into modern day life in the city. Kiev is a beautiful and fascinating city and there is so much to see and do. Svitozar provided a real top class service which we would thoroughly recommend.

Svitozar was an excellent tour guide - We had a 5 star private tour of Kiev. Svitozar was very knowledgeable and friendly. My wife is from here but it is my first stay in Kiev. We visited many different areas of this great city. We highly recommend taking a tour with Svitozar.

Great Tour of the City!! - Svit picked me up at the airport and gave me a fascinating 4-hour tour of Kiev. His knowledge of the area was vast, and he was just an all-around nice guy. Good driver and good sense of humor.
We visited many sites in west Kiev, making several stops - all very interesting. When our tour was completed, Svit dropped me at my hotel. Thank you, Svit, for showing me part of your great city. It was a fantastic start to my stay in Kiev. I highly recommend Svit and this tour.

My perfect first acquaintance with Kiev - I had a little time, but I still decided to take a sightseeing tour of Kiev. I received prompt replies to my messages and we agreed on the tour. The guide met me, and thanks to his enthusiasm and knowledge we drove through the city and went out to the main tourist locations. On my own I wouldn’t have time to see so much, I found out a lot of new things and am looking forward to the next visit to continue our tour. I want to say that I got even much more than I expected. Many thanks!
