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!

A Shocking Experience - In Kiv, the first place to be hit by missiles was once the place where Jews were killed. There were many things I didn't know, but they were kind enough to show me videos and photos of their prior knowledge. I visited many places, but the experience in the Irpin River and Bucha was shocking. If you're in Ukraine now and can get half a day, it's a must-go tour.

A great valuable tour ! - I took this tour in mid-January 2025. The guide was on time during pick-up. He spoke English very well and also French. He was really knowledgeable about everything that happened during the Russian occupation of the Kiyv region and took the time to explain everything to me. He also had a tablet with films on the different moments of the occupation. The places visited are very impressive. I was also able to see some Banksy paintings. I highly recommend this tour and this company. I will not hesitate to perform other tours with it. Malek from Switzerland.

An unforgettable experience about Russian tyranny - This tour was super interesting and helpful to understand what they lived during occupation. The guide was super friendly, clear, he put me perfectly in the atmosphere of the Russian occupation by detailing what had happened at each place, whether through site visits to Horenka, Butcha, Irpin and Borodyanka or with reports that introduce, present or complement very well what we see. Must do if you are visiting Kyiv right now. Slava Ukraini!

Extremely educational, gut-wrenching experience. Highly recommended. - I had a fantastic experience with Svit. He is very passionate and knowledgable, and the tour was very well prepared. Seeing the war crimes memorials in the Kyiv suburbs is an existential experience that will help anyone understand what Ukraine is fighting for and what is at stake in this war.

Probably the best tour I’ve ever done - Extremely good tour. Very interesting and eye opening. Svit is very friendly and will answer all questions with enthusiasm and a deep knowledge of all circumstances surrounding the war. There are still loads of destroyed buildings and you still see millions of bullet holes in every neighbourhood. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Experience the horror yourself, with the best guide you can imagine. - Given the sad topic, it's hard to say that it was a "nice" tour. But the guide Svit was the best you could imagine. He has a huge knowledge of the current situation, but also the historical one. He combines his stories with videos and pictures on his tablet. I can only warmly recommend that those who travel there take the tour and see for themselves the terrible things that happened there. It seems much more intense than that mere stories from the media. Thank you Svit, you are the best ❤️🇺🇦

An eye opening tour - Svit’s tour of the horrors of Russian occupation was very eye opening. There was a lot of meaning to seeing these locations in person and unfiltered. Thank you for everything and helping show the world what is happening in Ukraine.
