Visit the Church of Jesuits and its hidden dungeons. There are imposing frescoes of the 17th century, remains of the protective walls of the 17th century and thrilling engraved sarcophagus of the 13th century. This sarcophagus invites attention because it has a hang-out wall that means someone tried to move out of this place.

Fantastic experience. The guide spoke very english and was very knowledgeable. Despite being late the company rang me to say where the guide was and she was waiting, i was very impressed. The tour itself was very interesting and cool. highly recommended.
The tour goes to 3 underground parts of the city (the description says it's supposed to be 4), which gives you a nice insight about what Lviv has gone through since 13th century. The pick up was smooth, and the tour lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes (versus 2hr and 30mins advertised). During the visit to Church of the Jesuits underground, while explaining the mode of the city the guide was not articulate enough where we are on the city model. When asked to explain, she got impatient, and instead of being articulate and explaining the location in other words, made a joke in a words of "oh my god, you are like little children", in a not a nice or friendly tone. To a degree we were happy that the tour lasted a lot shorter than advertised.
Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback! We are sorry to hear that the tour didn’t quite meet your expectations. We always aim to provide our guests with the best possible experience, as you can see from the previous reviews, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen this time. We regret that you felt offended by the guide’s comment, but we can reassure you that by no means she wanted to insult you with her words. Based on this case we will ask our guides to be more careful with such jokes as they are not always appropriate. We appreciate that you mentioned that the tour gave you useful insights into the history of the city and hope that the overall impression of the tour is positive. Once again accept our apologies for this situation. We would be very happy to see you on our tours in the future and have a chance to provide you with a better experience.
What a brilliant tour we had. I booked this tour as we’d never visited Lviv despite my husband been from Ukraine. Our guide Paul was informative, friendly and showed us so many places we’d never have discovered. His knowledge was incredible. It’s a definite must if you are in Ukraine.
Dear Charlotte, thank you for such a positive review! We are extremely happy that you had a great tour with our guide, Paul. He is indeed a very knowledgeable guide and very passionate about the history of Lviv. Thank you for recommending this tour to future travelers, it means a lot to us. You are always welcome in Ukraine!
I almost missed this tour because I did not know I had to meet up with my guide..still I took a taxi hoping to meet at the Opera house but didn’t realize that my taxi dropped me off at the wrong location. Unfamiliar with the city, I took a taxi and went back to my hotel. What my guide did was amazing..after almost 2 & a half hours of waiting for me, she came directly to my hotel and picked me up and my day was salvaged. She did not rush the tour and was very knowledgeable and even took me to get souvenirs and walked me back to my hotel afterwards. Amazing!
Wow, what an experience! A famous quotation “All’s well that ends well” is just about your situation. It should have been very confusing at the beginning when the taxi driver took you to the wrong location, but luckily you managed to meet your guide and enjoy the tour in full. We are very happy to hear that you are satisfied with your guide’s knowledge and attention. We’d love to see you on our tours in the future!
We really enjoyed our city walk with a guide ! Everything was so perfect and easy - online booking, online payment, email communication with the agency... Our guide was waiting for us perfectly on time. We loved all the places where he took us, it was an amazing mixture of ancient, recent and modern athmosphere of the city ! We would never experience it without the tour. Thanks a lot for amazing memories we still keep alive in our mind !

Widely travelled herself, Yulia - if that is how she spells her name - was an excellent guide on top of her subject, always willing to consider additional questions raised during this private, underground tour with a group of eight. Our group of four enjoyed the new vistas she added to our appreciation of Lviv. The visit to the Coffee Mine generated mixed feelings. Though the underground labyrinth was authentic and the caramelised coffee was fine, the very noisy show in the crammed up cave was too much off a good thing. The Dutch group
museum and underground part together it costs less than two euros. not really challenging for us. underground other places are more interesting. museum is about various religious movements
Hello, We are very concerned to receive your review for our tour of the undergrounds of Lviv, as you didn’t book a tour with us. It seems from your review that you have visited some underground museum by yourself, but not on a guided tour with our company. Could you, please, check it. Our tour includes a visit of several undergrounds – Dominican Cathedral, Jesuit Church, Pharmacy Museum and Kopalnya Kavy. All the entrance tickets are already included in the price of the tour. You say in your review that you paid 2 Euro for a visit of the museum, which means you visited it by yourself, not on our guided tour. At the moment, it is possible to leave a review for any existing tour for everyone, which means that you could leave it on our tour page by mistake. We kindly ask you to check once again the attraction you wanted to review, it should be not the tour, but a specific underground or church you visited.We would appreciate if you remove the review from the guided tour we have. We are working hard to provide the best experiences for our customers on our tours. We appreciate your time and would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Thank you so much for understanding. Best regards, Green Tour Ukraine
We had a great private tour with LvivBuddy tours and Uliana. The company was very communicative and instructions for meeting were easy and clear. Uliana was so informative and let us modify the tour agenda to skip a few stops that we had visited already that day. She provided great information, answered our questions, and sat with us for awhile for a break in the tour to talk about overall life in Lviv. Such a great experience and thank you Uliana!
Found this to be a very good tour and a must for the tourists. Our guide was very informative. The visit to the chemist was especially good. This is a very good couple of hrs. Well worth the money
Thank you so much for such a positive review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour with our guide and visited interesting locations. Thank you for recommending this tour to other travelers. We will be glad to seeing you on our tours in future!
