And step by step, you'll learn the whole long and interesting history of Kiev by looking at its beautiful monuments.

You enjoy the city's oldest surviving church, St. Sophia's (Holy Wisdom) Cathedral, dating from 1037, which contains the tomb of Yaroslav the Wise, the 11th-century ruler of Kiev. Also it will be interesting to see the evolution of Ukrainian architecture, examining the 76 meter Bell Tower that was built in the 18^th century at the southeast of the cathedral.

Then we'll go across the reconstructed Mykhailivska square, passing the monument to Cyrill, Methodius, St. Andrew and Princess Olga the new copy of the monument with a very interesting history. (It was initially built in the 19th Century. In the 1920s it was stolen by the communists and for a long time was considered to be lost. But in 1995 during the reconstruction of the square, it was discovered buried under the road.) Then, we'll stop to enjoy the wonderful sounds of the bells of the reconstructed St. Michael's Cathedral.

And we'll end our Kiev tour at the place where a new history of Ukraine has started - the Independence Square that became known to the whole world after the peaceful Orange Revolution of 2004 when hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians came to Kiev and stayed on Khreshchatyk Street for 2 months to defend their right for honest elections; and where a new democratic President of Ukraine Mr. Victor Yuschenko was publicly greeted by more than a million of Ukrainians after his election in January 2005.
