      Great food. Take the tour. Well worth it.
      Artem was a great guide. I had great food and good conversation . I learned a lot about the history of Lviv too. Highly recommend this experience. Bring an empty stomach.

      The guide did Not notify me they were not going to show up.Now I need a refund the application will not allow my request
      This app is horrible. I am trying to make an easy request for a refund because the guide didn’t show up and all I get is what seems like a phone number. We use applications to avoid bad customer service.

      Selected from the best
      The food was outstanding and the tasting experience was enhanced by incredible places you had them in. It begs the question why Lviv is not #1 destination in europe for foodies.

      Fun, interesting and tasty.
      It was very rewarding. Good food, good beer and a very easy going knowledgeable young man showing me around talking not only about food and drink, but also both old and modern history.

      Excellent tour
      We stopped by the Tourist Information Center in the city town hall, and stumbled upon the food tour with Ohla. We went to 3 stops for the tour, and these are all restaurants that are very popular with the locals. One restaurant is at the roof top, and another one is in the same building as the glass museum, and we had many interesting dishes and Ohla patiently explained to us what the dishes are. Our personal favorite is the onion pie in the restaurant by the glass museum. Then we went to a cafe for some delicious honey cake and coffee to top off the evening. But that's not the end of it, we told Ohla we would be heading to Kiev the next day, and she sent us a list of her personal favorites in Kiev. Her recommendations are spot on, and we had the best Chicken Kiev, and also went to a fusion restaurant that's very popular with the locals. We wouldn't be able to find these places by doing the research on our own. Thanks to Ohla we have the most unforgettable dining experiences for our Ukrainian holidays.

      Very unique and well-organized tour!
      We went on a very interesting and unique tour arranged by this company which included a visit to the Svirzh castle and a winery, and it was simply amazing! The guide, the tour and wine tasting were on the highest level! Among all day tours we took from Lviv, this one was our favorite. We enjoyed the level of professionalism and at the same time level of comfort. It felt more like traveling with old friends than with a group of people we didn’t know. Thanks for everything and we can’t wait to go on more tours with you!

      Beer and History Tour
      It was easy to meet with Artem our tour guide, and the ensuing tour was fantastic. We had requested a Beer and History tour and Artem really delivered. His English was excellent and he had a depth of knowledge of history that was truly impressive. The beers we tried were all interesting and the locations were truly amazing. The tour gave us an insight and the opportunity to visit places in Lviv we never would have found on our own. Artem was erudite, witty and very polite. We really recommend this tour, Artem and the company to anyone. It is fantastic value for money.

      Request to get visa
      We had super bad experience with company. We were looking for visa to Morocco, and the girls offered their services. In the end we received literally nothing. Even no apologies. The request was sent 2 months before needed date,we expect that everything is fine, closer to date we just gave a call to check where we stand and realized that we are not progressing at all. We were not informed about any problems. Please respect others time and money. Before trip(we already had tickets )you live us with nothing. One comment we had from you: we had hope that embassy will have free slots. Really, you had a “hope “ Not professional.

      Delightful food tour
      We spent a wonderful afternoon with Olha learning about Ukrainian cuisine and history all while sampling delicious food. We were especially pleased that the tour was organized to include our two little dogs since we couldn't leave them alone during our stay in Lviv. Highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in an introduction to restaurants that are not on the tourist trail.

      Communist Style Food Tour
      I was in Lviv for a couple of days on my summer holiday and wanted to explore more Soviet history. I came across this food tour and it was one of the most unique experiences I've ever had. My guide Ksenia was extremely friendly, talkative and highly knowledgable. She explained the story behind each restaurant/canteen and food they served in each place. It was an experiement tasting many different cuisine no matter how basic some looked but the bonus was we got on very well and made a friend after the tour. Would certainly recommend this if you're a huge food lover and into communist history at the same time.

      Tour of Rohatyn and Turkish WW1 memorials
      Alex was an amazing guide, he was very knowledgeable and taught me a lot about Ukraine and its history (ask him how the quality of the roads and the town mayor's are linked!). Because of him I will definitely visit Ukraine again!

      Absolutely outstanding organisation!
      We just came back from a 12 day private tour in Ukraine, Moldova and Transnistria organised by Ukraine Travel Lab and everything went like clockwork. The guides were knowledgeable, proficient, extremely pleasant and always on time. It was an absolutely perfect tour and we could not have asked for more. Our thanks go to Konstiantyn, Katryna, Olha, Helena, Dmitri, Natalia and, of course to Vira who organised the whole thing to perfection and was with us for most of the time. Many thanks too to the excellent drivers, particularly Viktor who was an exceptionally good and safe driver and who could get a mini-bus in spaces I would struggle to get a Smart.

      Fantastic
      We had a lovely day with our super engaged and knowledgable guide Inna. She was a wealth of knowledge and having grown up in Lviv had many personal stories to enrich our day. We loved the tour and can only highly recommend it.
