This was the best experience we’ve got in Kiev. Me and 2 my friends booked the Village tour with guide Kristina and Nightlife tour with Tatiana. They both were really friendly people who showed us everything and cared about us a lot.
Going to Ukrainian village was like a small adventure: we were riding a tractor, feeding small goats with milk. Kristina made a master class how to cook Vareniki. We drank home-made vine and sang songs. Absolutely wonderful time!
Next day we had a nightlife tour with another guide Tatiana. Nicely spend evening. Not gonna forget this small authentic bar with 30 awesome liquors.
Cant wait to visit Kiev soon. We highly recommend KievInsiders.

Kristina was great. I had three free days on my trip and it was so much fun. She showed me the town and showed me many places to visit with my girlfriend when she arrived. She taught me about the culture and history of Ukraine and Kiev. She also showed me what places were honest and helped me avoid the tourist traps. The night life was great. We hit up a few bars and clubs. Great service and inexpensive. I traveled through Europe but I wish that I had just stayed in Kiev. Too much to do there. Like Kristina, the city has a good vibe. I met many nice and fun people. Thank you Kristina!

I did a 5 day tour of the city Kyiv with tour guide Kristina. The tour completely changes my preconception of the city and I just fell in love with Kyiv. It has since become one of my most favourite cities that I had visited around the world so far.
The tour was very professionally conducted with well-planned itinerary. Kristina is a very resourceful person, knowledgeable about the historical background of each tourist attraction and was able to bring different interesting experiences each day - from the mysterious Catacombs, to the dark history of the Soviet holocaust in Ukraine, or the architectural grandeur of the St. Sophia's Cathedral and to the refreshing, lush greenery walk in the park, Kristina managed to create an all inspiring journey throughout. Well done!

I was in Kiev for a day on my own looking for someone to help me get to know the city , but not provide a 'canned tour'. I was also seeing some of the main sights separately
Zhenya was so helpful - wanting to make my day 'super special'. I told her some ideas & she gave me suggestions. Emailing back & forth was fast, courteous & easy.
Had a most fantastic day! Zhenya has great stories, lots of knowledge & wonderful sense of humour!
She paced herself according to my needs ie we stopped when I was tired (not as young as her!)
& motivated me with delightful stories about Kiev!
We covered different places including history, art & my desire to see the metro!
She was delightful- & I would recommend her & the company whether you want overview or insider info on this delightful city. Only sorry I can't stay longer or have her take me around some more

We had a wonderful time with Sergii doing the walk through the historic city. As a scholar he is extremely knowledgeable and as a person, a joy to be with. His love for his native city shines through. Would tour with him again. Thank you Sergii!

Kiev Insiders showed me that the capital of Ukraine is an amazing city that is full of priceless artistic and historical treasures and therefore deserves to be visited more than one time!
So I decided to come back and continue my exploration under the precise orientation of the fabulous guide Zhenya !!
Again Zhenya was able not only to explain but to make me love even more the cultural and historical aspects of Kiev !
This agency again gave me a very high qualified assistance that made me feel completely comfortable and safe throughout my stay !
Kiev Insiders is my real Kiev friend !

Zhenya was well organized, energetic and thoroughly knowledgeable. Sought out different slant on faith traditions as I sought to broaden my perspective with regard to belief systems. Zhenya’s tour was well paced and wide ranging covering broad scope of the city. Highly recommend private guide as it is a great value deepens the Kyiv experience.

We have joined Kiev Insiders for 3 different tour around Kiev. We both enjoy ourselves in all 3 tour. Not matter if you would like to learn more Kiev culture and history or if you interested in the art in Kiev. Zhenya have tell us many story and background for the places we went such as the PIROHIV OPEN AIR PARK and she is so friendly and patience to answer all of our questions. Also, gave us some good advise on food and souvenir.

Really interesting, Illya is an interesting young man, he adapts your tour to take it he things you are interested in, so our tour included a ride on the amazing Kiev Metro. The tour can be as long or as short as you like, there is lots to see in the city so be sure to take a camera. It was interesting to get a young persons insight into the current situation in the East to the country. We'd definitely recommend him.
