🗣 Lviv: the guide here isn't just for listening — you can ask it things

Looking at “Lviv University” and not sure what you're seeing? Just ask out loud. The guide answers about exactly what's in front of you — and you can interrupt it mid-sentence, like a real person.

Your first conversation doesn't use minutes.

🎧 One tour — in everyone's own earphones

Start the guide and invite your people — up to six of you together. Nobody crowds around the guide or has to ask what was just said: everyone hears equally well, each through their own earphones and their own phone. Everyone can listen and talk to the same live guide.

Minutes are used only by the person who started the guide and created the group.

🗺 What’s nearby — on the map

Turn on location and the guide shows what’s worth seeing around you, on a map. Tap a place right on the map and the story starts about that very spot. Recorded tours have the map too, so you always see what’s being described.

Ask the guide about Lviv

🎙 Lviv can speak in the voice of someone close to you

Record 20–40 seconds of speech — Destino will create a copy of your voice. Share it with loved ones or ask them to record their voice for you. Your voice narrates not only bedtime tales but recorded city tours too — and you can share them with a link.
Creating a voice and a short preview don't use your balance.

Lviv, a major cultural center in Western Ukraine, boasts stunning architecture and a rich multicultural history. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and affordability, it offers a unique experience for visitors looking to explore beyond the typical tourist trail.

Lviv in English: a tour in your language

The guide talks about Lviv in English — the text and the voice. You can ask questions in English too, by voice, in the middle of the tour. The same in all 39 cities where Destino works: the guide speaks English with you rather than translating from the local language.

If someone with you prefers another language: the interface comes in eight, and narration, the live guide and tales speak twenty-two — Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Czech, Japanese and more. You choose the narration language separately from the interface language.
