Experience the vibrant heart of Ukraine with a personal audio guide.
▶ Listen to a tourLooking at “Maidan Nezalezhnosti” and not sure what you're seeing? Just ask out loud. The guide answers about exactly what's in front of you — and you can interrupt it mid-sentence, like a real person.
Your first conversation doesn't use minutes.
Start the guide and invite your people — up to six of you together. Nobody crowds around the guide or has to ask what was just said: everyone hears equally well, each through their own earphones and their own phone. Everyone can listen and talk to the same live guide.
Minutes are used only by the person who started the guide and created the group.
Turn on location and the guide shows what’s worth seeing around you, on a map. Tap a place right on the map and the story starts about that very spot. Recorded tours have the map too, so you always see what’s being described.
Record 20–40 seconds of speech — Destino will create a copy of your voice. Share it with loved ones or ask them to record their voice for you. Your voice narrates not only bedtime tales but recorded city tours too — and you can share them with a link.
Creating a voice and a short preview don't use your balance.
Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, is a city steeped in history and culture. Known for its stunning Orthodox cathedrals and vibrant streets, it’s the perfect destination for travelers looking to explore Eastern European heritage.
The guide talks about Kyiv in English — the text and the voice. You can ask questions in English too, by voice, in the middle of the tour. The same in all 39 cities where Destino works: the guide speaks English with you rather than translating from the local language.
If someone with you prefers another language: the interface comes in eight, and narration, the live guide and tales speak twenty-two — Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Czech, Japanese and more. You choose the narration language separately from the interface language.
Instructions, three tour demos and a bedtime tale in English. Choose a recording and voice.
