Hello! Thank you for coming to my page! My name's Solomia, I'm a Lviv-based tour guide, photographer and translator with a passion for showing my fascinating and beautiful home city to tourists. I've been a fully licensed tour guide since 2008, so if you're looking for a true local Lvivian and highly experienced guide to show you around the city then look no further. I can guide you to the city's most loved areas, like the Opera House and Market Square and regale you with the historical stories of these intriguing places, or I can take you off the tourist trail to experience the authentic sights, sounds and tastes of the city which few tourists get the chance to experience and which only a true local can find! During my decade-long guiding career I've learned much about the city of Lviv, and have a deep understanding of its complex history, culture and traditions. With this experience and knowledge I'm able to be a highly flexible tour guide - I always cater to the particular interests of my clients. If you have an interest in any particular topic, event or theme then please let me know and I will do my best to build a tour specific to you! While I am a highly adaptable guide, I also offer a number of set tours which have proved very popular with my tourists. You can find details of these here on my profile :) If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in contact. During my guiding career I've met many fascinating people from a host of wonderful countries and worked on many projects, for instance showing an Azerbaijani journalist around for a documentary about the city, and more recently I guided a notable YouTuber around the city and contributed to the amazing film made about the stay here. I've also assisted academic researchers, journalists and those visiting for the purpose of tracing their relatives. Whatever your reason for visiting Lviv, I'm happy to help you get the most out of your trip! I can give tours in Ukrainian, English (I was fortunate enough to study here for two years), French, German or Polish. Be sure to check out my photos and I hope to hear from you - let's explore this wonderful city together! I am a fully licenced guide

Unbreakable Threads: Unveiling Lviv's Resilience, Modernity, and Historic Legacy
Overview of your Lviv tour
Visit the old town center any day, at almost any time, and you'll find a hubbub of activity going on! Just make sure to be indoors between 12am and 5 am, during the curfew. On this tour I'll guide you through this lively place, show you the hidden secrets few locals know of, and point out the most interesting stories from this city's chequered and turbulent past and present. We will go to the basement of the Garrison Church, which has three 3D models of Old Lviv and a spooky sepulture. During the tour you will see how the city helps the war effort and stays the heart of cultural life in Ukraine.
Your Lviv tour itinerary
Starting at the Opera House, we'll walk down the tree-lined central avenue to the towering Shevchenko statue. Here, you'll learn that this statue, built in 1992 to commemorate the first year of Ukraine's Independence, was actually erected in a country far, far away. . . Next, we will descend to the basement of Sts Peter and Paul Church to delve into the history of Lviv and the surrounding region. We'll also greet Lviv's own Statue of Liberty, where you'll discover the intriguing distinctions between our version and the one in France. During this tour, I'll share details about the most scandalous corruption case in the city's history! Also, you'll have the opportunity to explore 19th-century CCTV, visit historic neighborhoods that were home to diverse ethnic communities, and witness how Lviv contributed to the war effort.
