Every city has its own story to tell, and a good private guide in Ucraina will help you get this story in all the details. Khmelnytskyi is a fine example of such a place.

COMMENTS ABOUT Ukraine:

Ukraine is the largest country in eastern Europe, bordering the Russian Federation and six smaller countries, and having coastlines along the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Ukraine’s climate is mostly continental, with cool winters along the Black Sea coast and colder weather further inland. 

The most popular resorts in Ukraine are located in the Carpathian Mountains, which are called the Green Pearl of Ukraine. Hiking and skiing are enjoyed in resort towns like Slavsko, Tysovets and Dragobrat, and the spectacular scenery includes white water rivers, peaceful mountain lakes and gentle peaks like Mt. Hoverla. Crimea is famous for health resorts and attracts many international visitors who come for the mineral waters and the wines, too. 

The capital city of Ukraine, Kiev, is an ancient city with many historical treasures such as the Cathedral of St. Sophia. Percherska Lavka, the Monastery of the Caves, is known for its catacombs and its bell tower. The Golden Gate is a fascinating site and the remains of fortified walls that were built in 1037. 

Modern cultural attractions in Kiev include the Kyiv Opera House and the Kyiv Young Theater. 

The city of Odesa is another interesting place to visit in Ukraine, known as the Pearl of the Black Sea and famous for its warm waters and gorgeous, sunny beaches. Ornate architecture is prevalent throughout the city, creating a fascinating district for explorations.

Guide Licensing Information for Ukraine

Ukraine represents a very rich destination in terms of private tour possibilities since the country is so diverse and has so much to offer. However, when it comes to actual guiding services the offers can be rather scarce, especially outside the large cities. Private guides are required to carry a valid guiding license issued by the local authority that is applicable to the tours conducted in the specific area. However, there are many wild guides who don't have a license and advertise their services via the web or local media. In many cases telling the difference between a wild and a licensed guide can be problematic, since the quality of services can be both good and bad for both types of guides.

To become a guide in Ukraine one has to be a citizen or wield a working permit of the country. There are many institutions that offer basic training and tourism, which are rather affordable by international standards. However, most experts agree that while the knowledge offered by universities and colleges is abundant, it only focuses on the theoretical aspect. In contrast, private guiding course can prove to be more useful since they offer more practical insights, but you have to make sure that they provide a valid certificate. After completing the courses you can approach the local administration to get your guiding license.
