Taxi prices to and from airport Boryspil can differ MUCH, depends how taxi driver will rate you. My friend told me, once when he was going from airport to city, driver asked fot 250 UAH ($50), all in all, they agreed on 120 UAH. Thats the ordinary price when you take tazi without preorder. If you will call and ask for a car, they will bill you on about 90 UAH.
Bargain bargain and bargain!

Kiev is an immense city, and, in spite of its subway, very efficient and the numerous buses (too numerous so that a stranger recovers himself of it), it is not always easy to visit all monuments. If you understand a little Russian (and even though you don't understand, you will see all the same), of the visits of Kiev by buses are organized every day. At present, it doesn't exist, on board of these buses of simultaneous translation system, but it would not know how to linger.
The tour of the city begins the central station, pass before the botanical garden, the park Taras Chevtchenko and the university, the bourgeois districts and the odd houses, the golden gate, the St.-Sophie cathedral, the Podol, the St.-Catherin monastery, the strands of the Dniepr, the monastery of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra and return on Khreschatyk.
The buses leave regularly, every day since the central station (Voksal) and the visit guided by a very competent guide, only cost 10 Hvrinas. Leave a Comment

Few Russian or of Ukrainian, in the street, understand English. Some interpreters exist, but it often looks like the con. A real interpreter will be capable to translate a current conversation, without the help of no dictionary, and won't ask you anymore for 10 $per hour. For those and those that foresee a travel, it is important to prepare itself a kid memory with expressions that can help you.
