I also thought this was a great experience. First I went to the Mozart Hotel, very upscale, to see if they had any tours. Nothing I could join though I could have spent about $150 for a guide, since I'm traveling alone. The price goes down per person in a group. Still pretty pricey. But maybe it's a Cadillac type...

This was a very cool place! I went during the off season so getting there was a bit more difficult. None of the cities tour agencies had group tours going, but one agency was kind enough to call the museum, and an English speaking guide agreed to meet me there. Getting there is a bit difficult as well. I got... More

She spoke excellent English and knew the history of these amazing catacombs very well. It is hard to imagine that a couple of thousand kilometers of caves and tunnels lie beneath this huge city.

Every year 5-10 people lost there. And they find only half of them. Do not even think to go there without guide. If you like digging in catacombs, you will enjoy it. If you just curious stay away from there, you will not loose anything. More

One of the best attractions in Odessa. The catacombs we saw on the tour are only a small fraction of the catacombs that are available but most are not open to the public and are unsafe. It was amazing to visit them. More

Great place to visit. You can marvel at the size of these things and realize just how easy it would be to get lost in them. Great tour, but you MUST speak Russian to understand. Luckily my friend did and translated. There is so much history within the catacombs. Very cool!! More
