Can anyone recommend a good private driver that can take me round trip from Kiev to Uman?

Also, is there kosher food in Uman year-round?

There are about 6 different restaurants open year round - I would recommend Àl Haboquér - owned & operated by a close friend of mine (+ I came up with the brand)

You can PM me for driver info

Hi- do I need a visa if I plan on making a quick trip to Ukraine from US?

Hi,

I will be going next week to Mezibuz for shabbos.
Landing on Wednesday at around 1pm and leaving Sunday at 2pm.

1. What is the best way to get around preferably with an english speaking driver or someone that knows where the kevarim are?
2. How can I plan an itinerary and find where to go the entire Thursday, Friday, motzei shabbos and Sunday morning. I don't mind not sleeping Thursday night and motzei shabbos.
3. Kosher food in Kiev, Uman, and other places?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

03:20 PM Arrive at Noam Elimelech: Tehillim & Dinner (Takeaway)
04:20 PM Depart to Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport
05:15 PM Rental Car Return
05:30 PM Depart to Ostroh (Vulytsya Papanina, 13, Ostroh, Rivnens'ka oblast, Ukraine)
12:00 AM Arrive at Maharsha

We are then going to visit:

Hannapil
Shepitivka
Polonne
Berdychiv
Medyzhbizh
Uman

The question is, are there any viable lodging options in Ostroh, Hannapil, or, Shepitivka?

As of now I've got Hotel Ukraine Rivne, 25 minutes off the route.

Any other suggestions?
