Founded in 2016 or perhaps 2015, it has taken a war to get a de facto Lviv tours website up and running. Such things take time, but no one envisaged an 8 or 9 year wait. Lviv is not Rome, at time of writing there are only a dozen or so local tour operators with a meaningful digital presence and somewhat engaging portfolio, but this will change dramatically once war is over. The Ensemble of the Historic Centre of Lviv, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the most interesting places on earth.
"Free tours" (not free at all and rather poor) are popular in Lviv. They don't support our veterans or military, they do line the pockets of the business owners. The main free tours player in Lviv is even Polish.
As the English owner of In Lviv Tours has a background in delivering tours and activities in major European destinations, his knowledge has made our curated experiences absolutely unique and of very high value for each and every traveller. That he has lived in Lviv since 2013 and knows the city better than most locals, whichever tours in Lviv you book, you will find yourself married, albeit momentarily, to a mesmeric mix of histories that remind of Austro-Hungarian, German, Italian, and to a lesser degree, Polish influences. No other tours in Lviv are quite like our tours, indeed, as we add more experiences, the already sizable gap between In Lviv Tours and other Lviv tour operators will only widen.
Exploring the labyrinth that is old Lviv through obscure curiosities, anomalies and rarities must be experienced, no words can do justice to the charms of Lviv. It has admittedly been challenging to make the transition from tours that were to be led by traditional tour guides to tours that are now led by veterans, however, the shift towards military support has landed us with a definitively "original" label. That our tours are also an interesting angle on social rehabilitation for veterans drives us forward to develop what In Lviv Tours can become.
A little history, naturally. Our organization began life in Rome in 2008. Private Rome tours, Rome day trips, and tours to Pompeii from Rome can be found on our classic Rome tours website, In Rome Tours. We're also in Athens, Greece, a personal calling of our founder. There, you can learn everything there is to know about ancient and modern Athens with In Athens Tours.
