This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Mezhyhirya Residence Museum, Ivana Franka St. 19, Novi Petrivtsi 07354 Ukraine
Meet your guide in the lobby of the Hotel Ukraine at 9am and make yourself comfortable in the private vehicle for the journey to the Mezhyhirya Residence Museum, once the private residence of former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych.
Thirty minutes later you will arrive at Mezhyhirya, a luxurious 140-hectare (350 acre) site where Yanukovych lived before being ousted from power and fleeing to Russia in 2014. After paying the entrance fee (approximately 120 UAH / US $4 per person), learn the details of Yanukovych's corruption as your guide leads you on a 3-hour walking tour of Mezhyhirya, taking in the mansion with its $100,00 chandeliers and priceless works of art, a replica Spanish galleon, and recreation center with bowling, an underground shooting range and tennis courts.
Stroll around the vast landscaped gardens dotted with opulent fountains and man-made lakes, an 18-hole golf course and helipad. Yanukovych's former residence also includes a small church, yacht pier, equestrian club, ostrich farm and, of course, the zoo with its kangaroos, emus and peacocks.
For an extra $10 per person, you can also visit the extravagant so-called Club House, known as HONKA after the Finnish company which built it. Other optional extras include the museum of vintage cars and motorcycles (extra $2 per person), visiting the bath complex (extra $2 per person), golf cart rental (extra $4) or bicycle hire (extra $2).
At 12:30pm your driver will take you back to Kiev, where the tour ends.
Duration: 3 hours

What a lovely and informative tour. Alex of Argotour was very knowledgeable and professional, I would warmly recommend his services. He managed to give us a lot of information in a short time available. The residence is rather big with a lot of stories to tell, so 4 hours including travel is not really enough but we've truly enjoyed the tour. It is a definite must-see and reflect on human nature when in Kiev. Thank you Alex.
The tour was very nice. Alex the tour guide is very kind and he explain very much...We tour the Honka house and it was very beautiful house like a palace..We ride also the electric car for about 45 minutes and we saw around the surroundings of the compound...it was really beautiful environment...A lot of chances to take pictures.. All I can say is everything was excellent and perfect tour..
