Sviatoslava was an absolutely wondeful tour guide - she gave me just the right amount of information, went at a good pace and was very friendly and approachable. Her recommendations of places to eat were fantastic.
The tour itself covers many of the interesting sights in Kiev and is a perfect way to familiarise yourself with the city on your holiday. I would definitely recommend.

Kyiv Friendly tours organised 2 trips for us. Slava, our guide and owner of Kyiv Friendly tours was wonderful to deal with. My emails were answered quickly and she was very flexible with last minute changes. She is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The first tour was a trip to Mezhyhiya, Yanukovych's vast estate. The tour was fantastic. We spent over an hour inside the mansion. Slava knew when to give us information and when to step back and let us experience on our own. We also toured the grounds via a golf cart that had been arranged for us. Slava was very flexible and quickly agreed to drop our group off in city after the trip was finished. We were all impressed with this trip. The next day, Slava took 2 of our group on a tour of the Lavra. Our guests were once again charmed and impressed with Slava and her knowledge. I would highly recommend Kyiv Friendly tours and Slava to anyone who is visiting Kyiv.

Intellectual, Smart and Chilled-out..Regardless of the reason for your trip, you must spare sometime with Slava. She is an excellent guide with in-depth knowledge of the country. You will not be disappointed.

Slava is an awesome guide! She took us to the former Yanukovic estate, showed us around the house and walked with us around the estate. We're really happy we decided to take this tour with her and I'm looking forward to the bar tour next week.

I occasionally spend time in Kiev for work and always seek help and entertainment advice from Kiev friendly tour guides.

My last adventure was a trip to Yanukovych's Private Mansion outside the city and I can't imagine doing it without hiring a friendly and informative local guide.

I have greatly enjoyed all the tours I have been on and appreciate the ability to customize the experience to fit my desires. The owner Slava is a delightful person to spend the afternoon with and I hope her business continues to thrive and grow. Kiev has a bright future with young, smart, entrepreneurs like her living there.

I look forward to my next trip to Kiev. I know that with Slava’s help I will find something interesting to do, somewhere delicious to eat, and spend a wonderful afternoon with a friendly local guide.

I will definitely use Kiev Friendly tours again!
