Our guide Paulo has quite a lot of information about the city. We had a small group of four people so it felt quite casual. It is quite helpful to know where to go to later especially if you do not know Ukrainian/Russian.

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 the Lviv undergroud tour which was really enjoyable but what made it 5 star was our wonderful guide Uliana. She really gave us an exceptional tour, informing us of all the history associated with Lviv through the different periods. She has an excellent knowledge of Ukrainian history which she very generously shared with us. Thanks Uliana 🙏

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!

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 :)

Julia was our guide. She was really knowledgeable, and able to answer all our questions. perfect to get your bearings when the signage is mostly in Cyrillic. we stopped for coffee and found out lots more about life in Lviv. most of the photos were taken after the week over the next few days of our trip.

Pavlo was an amazing guide, with great vibe and energy as well as knowledge. Despite the weather, the tour was amazing. It is a great start of getting to know Lviv. Pavlo knew all the interesting stories. They also have spare umbrellas so do now worry in case it rains :)

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!

The best option for those who came to Lviv for the first time. A fascinating walk through Lviv and not trivial stories on the city, its history, architecture, culture. It was not boring, I even want to deepen my knowledge of some facts. I also want to try other Lviv Buddy tours. Gastro tour, wait for me!
Warm wishes to our guide Uliana!

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.

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?
Written May 27, 2018
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
