Amazing, informative trip. 100% recommend. If you love culture and history + great food, this is it! - Amazing, informative trip. 100% recommend. Davey Poedem means 'Let's Go' in Russian. This trip was an absolute 5* I learned so much with the VERY BEST local guides who shared so much knowledge and culture. If you love history and want to see the sights - this is the tour for you. The missile museum was incredible - a real soviet nuclear bunker with an actual (decommissioned nuclear missile). A trip to Chernobyl - wow! Roman organized everything and drove us around. COVID tests, no problem, last-minute changes - OK! He even changed to tour (at my request) to go to Transnistria and an incredible Moldovan winery! This tour was so professional. Thank you. I wanted to leave this review so others can find this tour company.

A brilliant adventure - What an amazing trip, the tour is fantastically put together and you really do see some of the amazing Soviet history of the Ukraine. The hotels are all well kept, clean and incredibly well located. Meals provided are good and food recommendations are always on hand for dinner if you don't want to explore. The itinerary was amazing, from a fantastic private tour of Kiev through to Chernobyl, visiting a nuclear bunker and going through the tunnels under Odessa- we thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would recommend to anyone looking for an adventure (as long as your are not claustrophobic for the exciting bits!) Thank you for an amazing tour, it was a brilliant adventure!
