For those of you yet to visit Lviv, take the best of Tallinn, of Vilnius, then wrap up all the parts. Lviv old town is the magical mystery tour of all, and that is enough to attract anyone to our city.
We are blessed with architectural jewels and a rich heritage that spans several cultures, but remnants that remind of genocidal regimes darken the scenes.
In recent history, Lviv was the focal point of the worst of The Holocaust. It has since escaped from over fifty years of Soviet persecution, but is now at risk of an aggressive variant thereof once again.
Whatever happens, Lviv shall always be Lviv and tourism will always be alive here in some form or another, to enrich the lives of those who visit us. We hope to be leading the way in the fullness of time, when Ukraine is finally liberated from terror.
In recent years, our tourism has been dominated by "free" tours, meaning participants (must) pay their guide a donation at tour's end. It's practical and profitable for the operator, but does nothing to help Ukraine in its time of need, nothing to help veterans who are in dire need of support. This is where we step in.
Our tours and activities are inexpensive to ensure that our veterans receive as much financial aid as possible. There is no other justifiable way to work in tourism in Ukraine, either now or in the future.
NEW TOURS (Half Day Lviv Tour and Full Day Lviv Tour) are two fully private tours that have no fixed itinerary. Your veteran guide will show you his or her Lviv, and every veteran is different.
War has changed Lviv in some ways, but not all. You might see places that have not changed for over a hundred years, or explore the best of our Soviet brutalist buildings.
These tours include food and drinks in venues frequented by the veteran. Both tours include the old town, but may deviate a little way therefrom at some point. If you seek a genuinely unique experience, these tours are for you.
PRE-WAR TOURS currently number nine fully private tours and we have a dozen more in the pipeline. All have an itinerary and all except Lviv Holocaust Tour are led by a local expert Lviv guide and / or a veteran of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Each pre-war tour and activity has a specific theme, so if you prefer to drink a certain type of alcohol (in moderation, of course...), or tour the history and architecture of Lviv during the day or under the stars, our pre-war tours will please.
Everyone is different, so if you would like us to create a personalized tour itinerary for you, send us a message. If you are an established journalist or other media representative with a readership that we need to connect with, let us know and we'll arrange a tour for you on us.
