Tours and excursions

Многие поезда приезжают в Киев рано утром в районе 6:00. У тех, кто не имеет возможности сделать остановку у знакомых, ранний приезд в столицу вызовет массу вопросов – в 6–7 утра мало какие отели смогут поселить гостя, да и кафе в такое время еще закрыты. Приехав в ранние часы придется несколько часов ждать на вокзале, максимум – отправиться в Макдональдс или на Площадь независимости.
