We loved our tour! We were there during extreme cold and lots of snow. Our driver was safe and we felt comfortable. We saw everything despite the weather and our guide, Myroslava, was very careful to check in and make sure it was a good experience despite the weather. I highly recommend this tour to get a good overview of Kyiv
