Meet your local guide at the reception of your hotel and set off on a comprehensive tour of the Jewish heritage of Kiev.
During the centuries-old history of the Jewish community in Kiev, the periods of restrictions and persecutions of Jews were replaced by the loyalty periods, and by the end of the 19th century, the influence and value of the Jewish bankers and engineers, architects and businessmen became so great that the city authorities had to reckon with them.
On this excursion, you will have an opportunity look behind the curtain at the Jewish world, full of secrets and riddles. You'll learn the most interesting facts about the Jewish community of the different historical periods: about achievements and contributions they made into the development of the city and about those tragic pages that were like a horrible nightmare for Jews.
In the downtown, you will visit some locations with beautiful samples of fine mansions of 19-20 centuries, constructed by the Jewish rich men. In the Jewish quarter you will visit the central Brodsky Choral Synagogue and will learn its secrets, you will glance at the Bessarabsky indoor market, presented to the city by Lazar Brodsky more than 100 years ago, and see the house in which the prime minister of Israel Golda Meir was born.

You will learn how they came there with kids, old parents and all their things hoping to be transferred to peaceful lands. You will hear the stories about few of them who survived.
