Best way to explore Odessa - Odessa is a beautiful city but to really understand you need help from a local, and Odessa Walks is perfect for that. Originally we planned to have 2 private half-day walking tour. We decided to have a private guide (rather than group tour) because of our 10-month baby (we had to stop from time to time to feed her). All logistics were sorted quickly by email with Olga (the founder) while Alexandra, our guide, proved to be amazing throughout the day. Competent, friendly and great storyteller. We loved so much that we decided to have another tour later in the week, this time full day visiting the catacombs and the Shabo winery. I strongly recommend

Fun way to learn about Odessa through its food - Odessa has been a melting pot for years and it is reflected in its cuisine. During the course of the walking tour, learned about its history of people from different regions settled there. This rich history was reflected in the food that we ate at three different restaurants. Alexandra was our guide and she was very enthusiastic about telling us about the history of Odessa and its food. I thought that we were just going to be getting the usual Ukranian dishes that most restaurants offer but we were pleased to find that it was not quite the case.

Not Bad - A lot of interesting history of the city of Odessa, the tour guide was very informative about the history of the city, buildings, and food. Why I gave it such a low rating was it was kind of boring, also kind of expensive for what you get. I highly recommend going with a friend or group.
