Average-to-decent tour, guide in need of politeness

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.

Absolutely fabtastic

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.

Operator response

LVIV Underground Private Tour

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!

A good experience

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

exaggerated

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

Operator response

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

Great Experience with Underground Tour + Uliana

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
