    Private inclusive Lavra Tour
    What a perfect afternoon with Karina meeting me at my hotel to travel together to Lavra. It was a cold day but we still went everywhere, including the top of the bell tower, the churches and into the caves. It gave me much insight into history of the Christian Orthodox Church. Her English is perfect and she has such a pleasant personality.

    Best walking experience you can get
    Tour with Ksenia was amazing! If you want to get known with the city in a modern and not boring way - you are in right hands! Save the time of learning maps and reading loads of unnecessary information in a search of something valued, just choose this guide company and you will not regret. I recommend sincerely:)

    Absolutely perfect bars crawl!
    I couldn't more highly recommend Ksenia! She does a great job of making you feel at home in Kyiv and like you're a good friend of hers that she's showing around! She also selected new locations to go as she learned more about me and my interests while we talked, which really showed how much she cares about providing a great experience. If you're in Kyiv, you should not hesitate to book a tour with Ksenia - you will without a doubt be glad you did!

    very nice tours on a cold days
    We were in Kiev 4 friends between 29th december - 3th january 2020. We have the pleasure to book 2 tours, in 2 different days, with Ukraine to go, to see Kiev. In one day our guide was Olga and in the other one Eliza. Both of them was very good. I can say that Olga was very friendly. Anyway, both of them was very professional and well prepared.

We absolutely loved the 5 hours tour with Eliza. We did not see the time go by as we walked the beautiful streets and discovered Kyiv and its glorious history. We recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know the city's past and contempory modern history along with a great insight into the varied architecture and life here!

We can recommend the combined 5 hour tour through Kiev and the Lavra monastry. It was a very nice experience. Our tourguide Eliza knew everything there was to know about Kievs history, and she was also a very friendly and nice person. We had a wonderful day. It was also gteat that we could book the tour on short notice: just on the same day.

We very much enjoyed our 6 hour, full day tour with Eliza. Everything from booking, to payment, and pre-discussion of our preferences and wishes were taken care of via email, so on the day of the tour everything turned out great. Eliza picked us up at our hotel and took us around the city, letting us know not only the history of the city, but also current sentiments and events, answering any questions along the way and being very flexible with stops to escape from the cold, have drinks/lunch etc...

We're very glad we booked this tour as we only had 1.5 days to explore the city, and we came away with a much better understanding of the city with UkraineToGo than we ever could have on our own.

We took a walking tour of Kiev on Easter weekend. Our guide, Ksenia, was lovely and very friendly, and spoke great English. She was super knowledgeable about the history and culture of Kiev, and had interesting facts, myths, and stories to share about the various attractions. She was happy to take us wherever we wanted and adapted her tour to our interests.

She also had great tips about where to go/what to do after the tour was over, and was able to answer all of our questions in that regard. She showed us some really cool little shops and had great bar and restaurant recommendations, too.

I'd highly recommend Ksenia's tour to anyone who wants to learn about the culture and history of Kiev, and learn a bit about life in Ukraine.

I spent my 30th birthday in Kiev with friends and we spent the first day with Ksenia on this tour to get first acquainted with the city - could not recommend more. as a Kiev native she not only had endless insights and knowledge about the city, but also O’Rorke’s up personally about her life and family there. She also accommodated all of our various interests, needs, and requests along the way. The next day we saw the big group tours walking around, and we could not even imagine having gone down that road. Thanks Ksenia!!
