I am an Odessa local, a professional tour guide and the founder of Odessa Walks tour agency. I've been creating in-person Odessa experiences since 2011 and since the last fall I've started doing live tours bringing my beautiful hometown to everybody who continues exploring from the comfort of their home. I am delighted to be able to share with you Odessa's historic quarter and introduce you to the city's heritage, culture and lifestyle.

Olga's tour was amazing (it is a live walking tour). She shares the history of her city with love and excitement. Odessa is so much more beautiful than I imagined and is another "wish to see" travel destination. I loved that on Olga's tour I was able to ask questions about anything and she was very knowledgeable. Very enjoyable.
