Since 2005 till 2011 I used to work as a tour guide leader with groups from France (Terre d’aventure, Nomade Aventure, Orient). The itineraries went through Kyiv, Lviv, Odessa, Sevastopol, Yalta. I always tried not only to show the eminent monuments but also to let people feel the vibe of every city we visited, to become a part of it at least for a day or two.
From 2011 till 2013 I've organized individual tours for French foreigners coming to Russia. I created itineraries “a la carte”, off the “beaten track”, for destinations like Baikal, Transsiberien, Karelia, Solovki islands, making possible and safe to visit places where few people speak English or French but nature is awesome and everything is authentic.
If you plan to visit Kiev and you are looking for a French speaking guide I will be glad to help you to explore the capital, to see the most remarkable monuments as well as understand the everyday life of this city and find out what is your favorite dish of Ukrainian cuisine.
