Unforgettable experience - So in March I lost my job and my travel plans were cancelled due to the Coronavirus and I came across Victoria's profile on social media or Instagram. She had the best posts about Kyiv and why visit it was ver informative. Normally I never used to do private tours but when I read her post and how informative they were I could understand the quality of her tours. Sadly again I couldn't travel to Ukraine due to restrictions so I had to sit at home. Anyways she started doing virtual tours and I though to myself what an interesting concept. I had never met Victoria as a tour guide but when I did I was surprised at the knowledge she shared. Via skype we actually had the most interesting conversations about history. She told me interesting stories about the foundations of Kyiv and we spoke of communist and Tsarist history. It was the most amazing hour in 6 months of lockdown! Anyways I do recommend and I can't wait for things to return to normal so I can visit Kyiv and meet her. Of course try the amazing cuisine they make!
