A great sightseeing experience in English with a friendly city guide: we have seen the architectural masterpieces of the city (even spotted pineapples on the roofs of some buildings), discovered Jewish and Armenian neighbourhood in the historical centre and had a great coffee with local sweet cheese pastry - syrnyk.
The guide Ulyana was cheerful and friendly, eager to answer all of our questions.
Highly recommend to all the foreign tourists who are planning to visit Lviv!

We did a food tour with Uliana and a free walking tour with Peter during our stay in Lviv. Both were very personable and outgoing -- we really enjoyed chatting with them about Lviv, travel in general and life. The food tour took us to 4 or 5 places and gave a great sampling of the city's cuisine and liquors. We may need to return to do more tours!

Our guide Uliana was excellent. She provided an interesting, entertaining and fun walking tour with plenty of historical information, personal anecdotes and interesting stories. She provided a perfect introduction to Lviv in the hidden secrets tour. Coffee stop included. Highly recommended!

I did all three of the free walking tours, led by the guide Ulyana. I'm so glad I did as there are things I saw in Lviv that I would never have seen otherwise. Ulyana is very insightful and tells wonderful stories. It's also great having time during the tour to sit down and grab a coffee or a drink and get to know everyone on the tour!

Uliana is such a charming and knowledgeable guide to not only the cuisine of Lviv, but also the history, the culture, and the politics of the city, the nation, and the region.

We had a basic Lviv tour with Uliana. During the 2-hour tour, she showed us many landmarks of Lviv and told the stories behind them. Uliana was very friendly and it was a pleasure to talk with her. Later we went to have some coffee during which she talked about how coffee arrived in Vienna :)

The free walking tour led by Bogdan was fantastic. In between historical data, he told us some legends and fun facts about Lviv’s famous and hidden places. He has a good sense of humour and is really helpful - showing local less touristic spots for example. Also, he considered the participants’ opinion on what to see next, when to stop or when to keep moving.

We first did the Underground Tour with Ulyana and had a great time! For a compact city there is a lot of history, and the tour is well constructed to take in some really interesting/unique sites. We had such an enjoyable time that we decided to take the Food Tour the next day! Again, a fantastic experience, trying different food and learning more about Ukraine history/culture from UIyana - as a former journalist she has a great perspective and many interesting stories to to tell!

Thank you Bohdan for answering our questions. We will be arriving in Lviv on Saturday October 20 and will leave on Tuesday October 23. On one day we would like to walk around town as you do on your other tours to see the major sites in town and the "hidden" Lviv. We are both quite able to walk all day. My wife Norma, especially likes to see old architecture. One place we should see is the outside museum that shows typical wooden country homes.
Do you or a colleague have access to a car? What we need to do is search outside of town in the area where my father was born. I will be receiving information from relatives as to the exact location, but certainly this is the most important factor of our trip. So I believe we would need at least two full days of your services, with one day with a car. Naturally we would like the tour in English - although I was raised speaking Ukrainian, it is and old pre-war, country, version; but I look forward to trying to speak to you. My wife is American and so does not speak Ukrainian. Thank you for your interest. Please let me know what your charges would be for two days of your tour guiding. Paul Hawran

Dear Paul,
let me hop in here real quick, as I am the company owner and coordinate all tours. We will be very happy to help you experience Lviv in the best possible way. We do provide regular tours of Lviv to the best sights, as well as the hidden secrets of our beautiful town. We also have a Shevchenkivskiy Hai Tour on offer that shows you the Museum of Folk Architecture. It's also great to combine it with the beautiful Lychakiv Cemetery.
We can also help in heritage tracing and we do have guides with an official drivers license. All of our guides speak English and are trained to provide the best service possible. We will also try to brush up your Ukrainian, which for sure is much more pure and original than the modern Ukrainian. It will be a pleasure to speak with you!
Our services generally cost around 20 Euro per hour for guiding, but it can be a bit more, depending on what other activities are involved.
Please let me know how our Lviv Buddy Team can coordinate the activities with you.
Best regards
Peter

Hi Bogdan: I will be in Warsaw and would like to visit Lviv,( where my father was born), for a few days, but would like a personal guide. How can you help me? What is the best way to get from Warsaw to Lviv? Can you give us a full day or two to guide us?

Hello) Sure, that's great idea) The best way to get to Lviv is for sure train or bus, because plane is a bit expensive to my mind. Surely I can be your guide but you'll need to fix it on our official web-site and also specify what would you like to see.
Best regards,
Bohdan
