An Emotional, Informative, and Inspiring Tour

This tour is an absolute must-do when visiting Kyiv! Svit, the tour guide, is a funny, intelligent, and highly knowledgeable guide who has a deep understanding of everything that happened in Irpin, Bucha, and Hostomel. He shares different perspectives and provides valuable context, making the experience both educational and deeply moving. While driving between the locations, he shows photos and videos of the places you visit, giving you a powerful before-and-after perspective of the events that took place there. The tour is truly impressive, emotionally impactful, and worth every penny. As the cherry on top, part of the proceeds goes directly to the Ukrainian military. By joining this tour, you are not only learning about Ukraine’s recent history but also indirectly supporting Ukraine’s efforts to defend its land, its people, and the security of Europe. Thanks Svit!

A Must do tour to fully grasp the cruelties of war, but also the adversity of the people of Ukraine.

Must do!!! This tour was incredibly eye opening to providing the context of the current Ukraine war, but also showed the true horrors of the residents of Bucha and the suburbs dealt with under Russian Occupation. I’m not going to lie, the sites and stories were difficult to take in at times. On the other side, it goes to show just how strong the Ukrainian people are. I think that it is important to understand the cruelties of war. Svet was awesome. He is obviously an expert on the recent history and really did everything he could to make this an impactful experience. While you’re scheduling this tour, reach out about other tours of Kyiv he might offer. The city is incredibly beautiful and is way more than a conflict zone. There is so much to see, and I know Svet would show you the most spectacular places.

Excellent tour. Well worth it.

If I could I would give more stars, Svit was excellent, very accommodating, and improvising on the spot for my last minute change of plans. Thank you so much for all the flexibility shown and for the content provided.

A Necessary and Powerful Look at Life Under Occupation

This tour was educational, informative, and deeply somber. It is an important experience for anyone who wants to better understand the reality of Russia’s occupation and its impact on Ukraine. Our guide, Svit, was highly knowledgeable and presented the information clearly and thoughtfully. He also adjusted parts of the tour, within reasonable limits, to align with the specific interests of me and my friend, which added depth and relevance to the experience. This is not an easy tour emotionally, but it is a necessary one. I would strongly recommend it.

Incredible, deeply moving experience

One of the most interesting days I've ever had. Svit is an excellent guide, although perhaps a more fitting title is 'investigative journalist'. Not only do you see all the locations described, you also get meticulously prepared documentation and media to contextualise what you witness. A deeply moving and enlightening experience; I look forward to sharing what I learned with my peers. Thank you, Svit! Дуже дякую!
