LVIV TOUR UPDATES
07.03.26 "This was two days beyond my expectation. An expert guide who lives and breaths the city of Lviv. You will get to see things that no tour guide book covers, and the background stories. The tour also introduces you to local, cultural, social and personal aspects of The Lviv community. The experience is individual and personal."
Review by Dennis W. who travelled with In Lviv Tours over three days in September, 2025.
Hi Dennis, Thank you so much! It was amazing to meet you and chat about everything Lviv and Ukraine, the war here, drink plenty of great beer and eat like kings. Let's not forget the match, FCKL 3 Dinamo Kyiv 3! We spent a lot of time off the beaten track and I could see connections building between you and Lviv - I know you'll return.
The walk around Janowska at night was and always is very uncomfortable but I am glad we made it to that forsaken place. Lviv Holocaust Tour is the first Lviv tour I curated and Janowska is of course part of that. When you're back I will take you to some of the biggest mass execution sites in Europe. They are here in Lviv, not well known and abandoned.
I remember the morning of September 26th. just before meeting you on Rynok Square for day 2 of what would become 3 days of touring. I saw a photo of an old friend of mine on the In Memoriam board. I didn't know Vova had been killed (date of birth: May 27, 1970; date of death: June 11, 2024; date of burial: Sept. 26, 2025). Let me know when you'll be over.
"I went to Lviv in September 2025 and I had the pleasure of working with these guys. I can certainly recommend them as I think altogether they did an amazing job!"
Review by Patryk K. who travelled with In Lviv Tours over three days in September, 2025.
Thank you Patryk! A great 3 days with you and I won't forget the one when we walked 23 kilometres!! So much to see and do in Lviv. Your request to focus on Polish Lviv was interesting and may yet inspire me to curate a new tour.
06.03.26 As it's only possible to book our tours here, we know it makes perfect sense to publish our reviews here, on our homepage, nowhere else. There is one other new reason, however, that befell In Lviv Tours earlier this year.
It's well-known that we support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and perhaps because of this, we were targeted by pro-russian trolls. As of now, some of our guides are veterans. At war's end, most of our guides will be veterans. That's about helping other people in their hour of need, dedicated rehabilitation our side. Being targeted by trolls writing fake reviews was predictable. We were waiting for it.
Tripadvisor is where the trolls live. Their "Ultimate Travel Guide" is an absolute joke. Hell will freeze over before we sell any of our tours on their platform. They claim to champion "zero tolerance" but millions of fake reviews means free content so they publish everything.
One fake review in particular appeared to be from an account based in the United Kingdom. It looked legit, what with two dozen seemingly genuine reviews of tours in somewhat far-flung destinations.
This frustrating situation forced our hand, so from now on we will be publishing our reviews ourselves on this very page. Reviews we own, about tours we curated and delivered. No pro-russians.
25.11.25 Ukrainian postgraduate Valeriia Polikarpova contacted us in March about her thesis at the University of Economics (Faculty of Business, Department of Tourism) in Bratislava, Slovakia. The title of her thesis was very interesting: "Structural and spatial changes in tourism in Ukraine following the outbreak of the war conflict in 2022".
Pete Gr would like to thank Valeriia for inviting In Lviv Tours to consult for her tremendous contribution to the future of tourism in Ukraine.
11.10.25 New articles have been published on our Lviv blog page and they cover everything you need to know before booking with In Lviv Tours.
Here they are:
Tours in Lviv in English
Private tour in Lviv
Lviv private tour
Tour Lviv
02.10.25 Surely one of the greatest tours in Lviv and as local as it gets. Introducing new entry Soviet Stadiums for football fans coming to Lviv.
There's a new must-read article on our new Lviv blog page about tour guides in Lviv too.
29.09.25 Our newest interesting tours of Lviv are ready and available to book! They are of course Lviv 23 and Lychakiv with Lilith, both as far away from generic tourism in Lviv (and there's plenty of it) as can be.
21.09.25 Lviv is absolutely calm, indeed, our city is calmer now that it has ever been in recent memory. People are out and about having fun in the sun and our old town is packed with sightseers. Lviv restaurants and cafés have never been busier, Lviv bars and pubs are packed. Rynok Square is beautiful and colourful.
Recent clients have been gobsmacked by how normal life is in Lviv. What to say? Only that it's true. Hardly any air alarms this month and no concerns whatsoever. More concerns in Poland, it seems.
There's a new Lviv FAQs page which will no doubt grow and grow as there's simply so much to tell. Of course you will have a few questions of your own, too.
We hope that some of those questions have already been answered, but if not, feel free to ask us anything on WhatsApp or send a message using the form at the bottom of this page.
14.09.25 No sooner had we made mention of Lviv 23 being our de facto finale, then tour number 24 comes along, or more rather, is risen from the grave!
Lychakiv with Lilith will be a walk on the weird side with the original Dark Star of Lviv... Lilith (her real name). Over 350,000 people lie in Lychakiv and the oldest resting place dates back to 1675.
09.08.25 An old idea about a tour of Lviv that never reached the cutting room is weeks away from reality.
Soviet Stadiums will be one for real football fans as we include a ticket to watch Karpaty Lviv or Rukh Lviv.
It'll also be for those who want to see what sport in pre-1991 Ukrainian SSR looked like. Think abandoned places with walks around "industrial" Lviv, no deficit of interesting beer stops en route, and Ukrainian Premier League football if your travel dates fall on a match day.
In line with our original vision of offering 23 tours of Lviv, new finale - Lviv 23 - will be as enigmatic as unexpected.
Your guide will take you to 23 places in Lviv at their discretion, and that could mean anything at all, from the well known to the Hell unknown. Undoubtedly our most obfuscatory offering.
08.06.25 There's a new batch of tours on the way! Secretive Lviv, Animals of War, Lviv Tram Tour, Shootin Putin and Lviv Skylights.

07.06.25 Two new tours are online, Lviv Coffee Crawl and Lviv SS (Shot Survival).
24.05.25 We're launching new tours! Lviv Instagram Tour for Instagrammers, Soviet Lviv Tour, Lviv Chocolate Tour, a Lviv Coffee Tour and a Lviv Vodka Tour.
Lviv SS is a survival guide. Drinking the serious shots favoured by Lviv locals is not something to be taken lightly. The other tours and crawl will cover a lot of ground in our old town and further afield.
Plans for summer include excursions from Lviv to the castles that surround us. While it was never our intention to offer tours and activities outside Lviv, our guides have asked to include them. Transportation will be by coach rather than private car to keep costs down.
WHAT WE DO
We don't do run-of-the-mill as Lviv is anything but ordinary. Our ethos is and shall always be one of crossing lines and challenging norms.
We guarantee a mix of education, inspiration and unusual moments in the Ensemble of the Historic Centre (UNESCO World Heritage), still relatively undiscovered by foreign travellers.
Our native language is English as we are English-owned, so everything will be clear from enquiry to your activity on the day.
TRAVEL TO LVIV
Getting to Lviv is easy. Fly to Poland and then move by train or bus to Ukraine. Lviv is close to Poland, we're just 45 miles from the border. You can also enter Ukraine from Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova. When flights resume, you'll be able to fly direct to Lviv from many European cities.
Tram tickets can be purchased on board for 25 hryvna and it's the same on buses. In Lviv, we use BOLT and UKLON taxi apps. Both are in English and they cost about the same.
