Oh my God, we really liked Lviv. Compared to Kiev, the city is smaller and in 3 hours we went around the entire central part, here each brick means something, the history of the city is impressive. We especially liked the museum pharmacy, as my husband is a doctor and the dungeon where Diana brought us to try coffee with fire. We really liked the tour, and 3 hours passed quickly in a good and friendly company. We also took a tour with this company to the Lychakiv cemetery and the dungeons of Lviv, but already directly from the operator, because tripadvisor charges a large commission. If you are planning to visit Lviv, you should, it is a wonderful city, you will not regret.A wonderful tour with a guide Diana, she was very knowledgeable, energetic and answered absolutely all our questions.

A wonderful tour with a guide Diana, she was very knowledgeable, energetic and answered absolutely all our questions. Take this tour on the first day of your stay in Lviv, all the attractions are located near the main market square. I do not advise you to climb the Town Hall, it will take at least 40 minutes and there are many steps. Take this sport after the tour. Be sure to ask Diana for interesting thematic restaurants in Lviv, they are so unique!
