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.

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 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
