What started out as a picture postcard day weather wise got even better when we met up with Olga for a walking tour of Odessa. She was knowledgeable and interesting. Her command of English was superior (having been educated in California), and she seemed to intuit exactly what we wanted to see. We had a wonderful walk and time seemed... More

Anyone considering a visit to Odessa should make use of this opportunity. Olga provides the personal touch to this interesting and imaginative walking tour. Time has prevented me from participating in Olga,s other tours, but hopefully it will happen in the future. I would highly recommend Olga,s service to anyone visiting Odessa. Good luck and thanks again Olga. More

Great walking tour of Odessa, especially for a first day tour. Tour guide was very knowledgable, easy to understand, and a genuinely nice person. We were the only people on the tour so it was very nice that the guide could customize it to us. We signed up for a 1.5 hour tour which ended up taking just over 2... More

Well, let's start with the fact that I am from an ex-USSR country, where the old soviet culture, architecture and habits are still haunting the local society. I came to Odessa for the first time, I didn’t know too many things about its culture and history so the general expectancy was to find another sad, quite and cold city, with... More

Our long weekend trip to Odessa would have been a torso without Odessa Walks. Without ability to speak Ukrainian or Russian languages we would have been totally dependent on Lonely Planet. We took three different tours and were very pleased. Olga’s insight of history and culture of Odessa, Ukraine, and former Soviet Union is extraordinary, as well as her ability... More

We called Olga and arranged to do the walk entitled "The Other Odessa," while visiting this city over a long weekend. This walking tour was easily one of the highlights of our time in Odessa. Olga is very knowledgeable about the fascinating history of Odessa. Her English is fluent, and she has a great sense of humor. A 90-minute walk... More

We did a 90 minutes walk with Olga late September 2011, and it was one of the highlights of our stay. Olga has lived all over the world, but decided to return and work in Odessa. We learned a lot about the history, but she also manages to give across a picture of everyday life in Odessa now. Stories told... More

These tours of Odessa are full of the spirit of this beautiful coastal city. Olga's tales are truths, jokes, history and fiction all wrapped up around a walk around the city's hidden treasures: small secluded yards, historic buildings, bridges and monuments. She brings this city alive and makes you want to know more. This is NOT a good old Soviet... More
