We loved Zhanna! She was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable about the city and it’s history. I also HIGHLY recommend her if you have small children. We brought our 3 kids and both sets of grandparents. She has small children of her own and was VERY patient with our kids. I would absolutely recommend her though to anyone as she was a great guide.
