Excellent Music and Culture Tour - I had the Music Tour with Svitlana yesterday. We went through the main sights, with special focus on the musical heritage and personalities of Odessa. The guide has deep knowledge on the matter, and was very flexible to include points of interest along the tour. I highly recommend this tour for classical music buffs, if you want to get to know Odessa in 2 hours.

A tour of Odesa with a charming pianist - My friend and I took a tour of Odesa with Svetlana over the summer. She is an accomplished pianist, and one of the many fun things we did together was go to a public square where there is a piano and she played a little concert for us! She knows everything about Odesa, including history, food, and culture. She was a wonderful, friendly guide and I will certainly take a tour with her again the next time I visit. I would recommend her to anyone I know.

An unforgettable attraction with a competent and sweet guide. - It is dificcault to describe. A must of a attraction in Odessa. Swietlana as a guide is competent, sweet, friendly and always smiling. Knowing all about Odessas culture life in all aspects, talking perfectly Polish (and surely other languages!). And her concert on the piano ( (Liszt! She is professional Musician!) to finish the tour was a very good and funny idea! Thanks, Swietlana! Beata and Wladimir Herman, Copenhagen

Excellent tour! - Svitlana met us at our hostel ready to lead us on a musical and cultural tour. As we talked before the start time, she learned that we love love love food and were interested in learning about the city's food in addition to the culture. She quickly adjusted course and turned the tour into culture + food. It was such a delight! We sampled great ice cream, local anchovy pancakes, went to the opera house and to a book market with an outdoor piano where she played for us. She was so generous and helpful. My friend had lost her phone and Svitalana came with us to a phone store to help her secure a new one and get it set up, helping with translation. She's a gem of a tour guide!
