Ukraine In Your Pocket
Ukraine is known the world over as the home of Chernobyl, for its crumbling stockpile of nuclear weapons, and its gun-toting businessmen in dark glasses. Update: Chernobyl dumped its poison on Belarus, the nukes went back to Moscow, and the 'business community' is no worse than the one in New York (ain't that so Martha?).The reality is that Ukraine is gorgeous, and as such is the perfect destination for travellers of all persuasions. Wanna take a ride on the world's longest trolleybus route (100km)? Wanna bake on the beach by the Black Sea? Maybe you'd just like to spend some quality time in the extraordinary capital that is Kyiv? Or, maybe, a few days in Odesa - the jewel of the Ukrainian coast? The ancient Lviv can also open its doors for you. Well, soon you'll be able to do all of these things, and what's more you'll be able to do them with us, thanks to In Your Pocket.

As my knowledge about the country was mainly sourcing from books and some people telling me about it, I was very happy to find an excursion bureau giving me a deep insight and very good advice about the how and when and where in the Ukraine. I enjoy[...]
No argument from me, but there's the whole world out there that uses Kiev. I've got an atlas from the 1950's that uses Kiev. But, hey, if you want us to use Kyiv, then Kyiv it is. Whatever you call it, it's still one of my favorite destinations.[...]
Kyiv. Simply because, if the representatives of the people say it's capital is to be called Kyiv, then it is to be called Kyiv. Period. Anything else is a deliberate show of disrespect.[...]
The Ukraine is one of my favorite travel destinations now. I love Kiev's open markets, metro (which makes touring the city an adventure), and entertainment venues. These are typical travel items, but "Prime Excursion Bureau" stimulated my visit wi[...]
Great company, very friendly and gave a very knowledgable tour of this lovely City.I will gladly recommend this tour company.My worry was English speaking which turned out to be totally unfounded..Thank you.[...]
I attended the performance of one of Borodin's operas in 2009. The staging was excellent, the costumes were superb and the performance was excellent. I was in the middle and 5 rows back from the orchestra, so I had very good seats. The acoustics rea[...]
I can't argue with Alex. I come to Kyiv from australia maybe 2 times a year and "In Your Pocket" is the first place I turn to for tourist and travel information. It's best feature is that the information is current and up-to-date which is not always[...]

I became a dedicated “In Your Pocket - Kyiv” reader for two simple, but strong reason: I can find in it the biggest and useful amount of local information, as I also can feel myself home, enjoying reading its independent opinions and fea[...]
It's to expensive for the quality of the food.[...]
Not worth going at all. The public isn't very welcoming and there are plenty of other good restraunts in Kyiv to dine at. 3/5Plus: good designminus: food, price, service[...]
Went to the afternoon show, it was good, lots of animals that we did not expect to see, no elephants, but three tigers. Very nice acrobatics.Prices are fair, children under 5 are free but if you want them to have a seat, which I wish we would have [...]

I've made a tourist trip to Kyiv with my family. Kyiv is a great city, Ukraine has to be proud of its capital! We've stayed in junior suite. I can't say anything bad about it. We've liked the service pretty much - the staff is friendly, they're not [...]
