 Rating: - Before the travelIt's hard to judge a travel guide before the actual travel, but this guide is verbose and useful. There are recommended places to stay and good tips what to see. Rating:  - Go with the Bradt GuideThis is probably the worst travel guide I've ever read. It completely misses the point of travel in Ukraine.

It would be useful to have both Ukrainian and Russian translations in the book. Rating: - very helpfulI gave this book as a gift to a family member who was going to the Ukraine, and we found it to be very informative and useful.
