Seeing the memorial that you can do free of charge anyway. No need to book this tour as can be done on your own. We learnt nothing new and 2 hrs was way too long talking about unrelated things. Also we purchased the skip the line tour and skip the line museum however when the guide gave our tickets… the museum had a booked time, not skip the line! As it was pouring with rain there was no queue so we were able to go straight in. There is nothing in this tour you can’t do yourself for free and just pay for the museum Very disappointing

Hey Dawn, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had on the tour. We truly understand your frustration. The "skip the line" feature is indeed designed to save time, especially during peak hours when lines can be longer, ensuring a quicker entry. While we are sorry that the weather and lack of a queue made this less relevant for your visit. We always strive to provide value for our customers, and we're sorry this wasn't reflected in your experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We hope to provide you with a 5-star experience next time if you give us another chance. Warm wishes, Andrii Walks & Devour Tours
