🗓️ Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Przemyśl → Kyiv – Into the Heart of Ukraine

Your journey begins in Poland, where we board the train toward Ukraine.
As we cross the border, watch the landscape shift into sweeping countryside, rural villages, and historic towns. Ukrainian trains are modern, clean, and remarkably reliable – a lifeline that has kept the country moving throughout the war.

You’ll settle into your cabin, meet your fellow travellers, and begin your first immersion into Ukrainian hospitality.

Your first full day in the Ukrainian capital is dedicated to exploring Kyiv’s culture, architecture, and food at a relaxed pace.

Highlights may include:

• The golden domes of Kyiv’s ancient monasteries

• Historic Podil district

• Local markets, cafés, and family-run restaurants

• Views from the legendary Motherland Monument – with the option to climb inside the statue and up to the shield for breathtaking panoramic views of Kyiv (weather permitting)

Enjoy a warm, vibrant introduction to one of Europe’s great cities.

Day 3: Battle of Kyiv Tour – Witnessing History

At 10:00, we begin one of the most powerful experiences of the trip.

You will visit Irpin, Bucha, and Borodyanka – towns whose names became symbols of both Russian brutality and Ukrainian resilience during the 2022 full-scale invasion.

Here, you will:

• Walk streets that appeared on every major news network

• See memorials, destroyed buildings, and reconstruction zones

• Hear first-hand accounts from survivors who lived through occupation

• Visit local initiatives preserving evidence of war crimes

• Understand how ordinary people endured extraordinary circumstances

This is a deeply moving day and often the part of the trip guests remember most.

Day 4: Kyiv In Depth — Life, Local Stories & Hidden Corners

Today is about discovering the Kyiv locals know and love.

Guided by passionate residents, you’ll explore hidden courtyards, murals, neighbourhood cafes, viewpoints, and cultural landmarks that most visitors never find. This slower, more personal day offers space for conversation, reflection, and connection.

In the evening, we board our train back toward Poland — carrying new memories, new friendships, and a far deeper understanding of Ukraine.

Independence Square is always one of the places worth visiting in Kyiv

Day 5: Return to Poland – Reflection

We arrive back in Poland, concluding a journey that is as emotional as it is unforgettable.
You’ll return home with:

• A deeper understanding of Ukraine’s struggle

• Direct experience of communities rebuilding with incredible strength

• Beautiful memories of Kyiv’s culture and hospitality

• And the knowledge that your visit directly helped people on the ground
