Wow. Where to even begin. Let's start with this. Touring Lviv with Nina wasn't just a highlight of my vacation, but of my entire life. Seriously. Dream come true level stuff. 💙💛 As for Nina, she is a wonderful wonderful (did I say wonderful?) guide and I thoroughly enjoyed walking Lviv with her. She is incredibly friendly and accommodating when questions come up. She is a walking encyclopedia for Lviv and European history, and even told me a few facts that I didn't know about my home state of Pennsylvania. 💯 Book this trip. The next time I'm in Lviv, and there will be a next time!, I'm going to try and book one of the other tours offered with her. There be castles in them thar' hills! 😄😁
Excellent, exceeded all my expectations. The friendly local guide Nina, showed me a unique side of Lviv and patiently answered all my questions. A wonderful way to get to know this beautiful city.
This was an amazing day. Nina was so knowledgeable throughout this day. I learned so much about the rich History and the contributions the People & culture that LVIV has given to the world. Learning the History of the churches & buildings, how they changed throughout the centuries due to cultural changes or wars throughout the centuries will always be cherished by me. The kerosene lamps were invented in LVIV. The different CATACOMBS were very fascinating to explore. Even if they are a bit challenging for someone my height.
The tour guide, Nina, is knowledgeable and well-versed in the history of Lviv. We learned a lot about the formative stages of the city’s foundation and had the pleasure of entertaining ourselves with keen insights Nina provided on a number of different subjects. Her narration technique is enticing and she is very accommodating. Highly recommended :)
Thank you very much for your review, always welcome to Ukraine!
Very flexible and knowlegable guide, we enjoyed the 4-hours walking, in particular the underground, it was informative and entertaining, highly recommended.
Our delightful guide took us through the ins and outs, ups and downs (above and below ground!) of Old Lviv a most entertaining and thought-provoking manner. A few notes: 1) You will need to be very sure-footed—there are many stairs and uneven surfaces. 2) Not a tour for children for the same reason. 3) While the guide is more than able to give a very good introductory tour, the more you read ahead of time, the more you will be able to benefit from the depth of his knowledge. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for such a positive review on TripAdvisor! We are delighted that you enjoyed the tour of Lviv with our guide. Thank you for sharing some useful tips for future travelers, we appreciate it a lot. We’ll be happy to see you on our tours in the future! Kind regards, Green Tour Ukraine team
