excellent Odessa - The tour was perfect from the beginning to the end. Only the weather failed. Svitlana is an excellent guide and kindest person. It was the real pleasure to meet her and draw her company and knowledge. We visited the courtyards of old Odessa and other places which - I think - are hard to find by the average tourist. We do hope to come again to Odessa and meet Svitlana to show us more

Definitely an Odessa core attraction - Excellent tour. Didn't have any idea that courtyards are important puzzles to the overall understanding of the culture of Odessa, as well as of its people. Definitely recommending it :)

Odesa courtyards - I spend more than one and a half hours with my lovely guide Switlana exploring the old town, especially the ancient courtyards of Odesa. It was an extraordinary and wonderful, exciting tour, because I love this way of exploring places "of the beaten tracks". Switlana as a widely educated local lady told great stories about the old city and the courtyards, we talked about many aspects of Odesas life and history. She was very kind and adapted easily to my wishes. She waited for me as I was late after getting stucked in the traffic and she organised a cheap taxi for me in the end. Thank you so much for this great experience!
