Ksenia responded immediately with my lovely guide's contact information and I really appreciated the customer service, flexibility on meeting time, and communication of both Ksenia and Eliza. Very well organized and helpful. I loved spending the morning with my guide Eliza walking through the cathedral, caves, monuments, bell tower and grounds of this beautiful site. Tons of details and information—and Eliza was so personable with tips about getting around Kyiv, details about Lavra, the history of Kyiv and anything I asked! Totally loved it and thank you, Eliza!! I highly recommend booking through UkraineToGo for any tour through Kyiv and especially for Lavra.Susan N

Ksenia from UkraineToGo was a wonderful guide. She enthusiastically shared her deep knowledge of the sites visited. Initially, I was nervous about a solo private tour but her easy and friendly manner allayed any fears. Her love of the city of Kiev was obvious and infectious. The tour was seamless and well organised, as we walked around the Lavra Monastery and surrounds. Historically very interesting and the micro miniature museum is not to be missed. It was the highlight of the tour. I can highly recommend this tour company and in particular Ksenia as a guide.Eachm

Had a very enjoyable time and our guide Ksenia was lovely and knowledgeable. The chapels are beautiful as are the grounds in general. We loved the underground tunnel and the miniature museum. It was small but so unique and interesting. Definitely a must see when in Kiev.
