We offer a wide selection of private tours in Kiev, from must-see tours that cover the essential sites, to in-depth tours focusing on specific topics.
You can choose walking tours or tours by car depending on the itinerary and your preferences.
All of our tours are private, designed just for you and your friends or family, and over the years we carefully selected a small team of friendly and knowledgeable guides to give you the best possible experience.
There are two airports in Kiev – Zhulyany and Borispyl.
Borispyl airport is located 35 km from Kiev. Taxi ride to the city center usually takes 40 min (depending on traffic). The reasonable price for a taxi makes up 250 uah (30-35$). But be aware of some pushy drivers who can charge about 50$ or even more. There are also shuttle buses (25 uah (4$) available that ride every 30 min. The ride takes about an hour and ends in front of The Central Railway Station.
Zhulyany airport is situated 8 km from the city. It serves usually domestic and international low cost airline flights. The approximate price for the taxi is 80 uah (10$).
We do have folks who book last minute and most of the time there is availability, however we recommend booking your reservation at least 1-3 months in advance. Your reservation deposit is transferable if you need to reschedule your travel.
All tour prices (whether walking tour or tour with transportation) are per group. If you are using transportation that we provide, the price is based on the vehicle size used. Incidental expenses such as prepaid entrance fees, if included, are per person.
For our group and private tours, the prices listed include entrance and reservation fees.
While reserving a guide, price includes the guide service only. Where applicable, we ask that you reimburse your guide for entrance fees in cash on the day of your tour.
For private tours, your guide will coordinate taxis, walking or public transportation to get from your hotel to the first destination of the tour. Your party will be responsible for the cost of taxis or public transportation.
Private transportation can be arranged at an additional charge.
Gratuities are completely optional, but our guides will certainly appreciate something extra for a job that is exceptionally well done. In our experience, clients generally tip more or less what they might tip a waiter or waitress in a restaurant.
All of our guides are either native English speakers or completely fluent in English. We have an extremely high standard of English proficiency for guides who work with us.
We can also provide private tours in other languages. Please contact us well in advance for further information and availability.
We do not handle Airline tickets since it is just as easy to book them yourself on the Internet. There are many discount Airlines flying to Kiev, for instance Wizz Airlines is one of the more popular ones. We can however, purchase in advance train tickets and arrange basically every other form of transportation for your trip in Ukraine.
