• Courtyards, Conversation, and Lazy Cats

  Svitlana loves Odesa. And courtyards. And cats. Our stroll through “off the beaten path” courtyards, in neighborhoods away from the center, was couched with TLC. Hideaways and stories that I never would’ve found on my own, made the tour a treat. But it was the wandering about town, and conversation on life and food and family and sea, that warmed my heart the most. And cats. Of course, cats - Svitlana knows where all the fat and lazy ones hang out. I highly recommend Svitlana and her tour for anybody searching for the soul of Odesa.

  The tour was perfect from the beginning to the end. Only the weather failed. Svitlana is an excellent guide and kindest person. It was the real pleasure to meet her and draw her company and knowledge. We visited the courtyards of old Odessa and other places which - I think - are hard to find by the average tourist. We do hope to come again to Odessa and meet Svitlana to show us more

  Excellent tour. Didn't have any idea that courtyards are important puzzles to the overall understanding of the culture of Odessa, as well as of its people. Definitely recommending it :)

  There is many tipes of courtyards in Odesa and each has his own shape, color and artistic motives. This tour will give you new insights in various architectures and building styles of Odesa. Tour last two hours with guide Svitlana whi knows many hidden interesting architectural details in Odessa which is worthy of seeing.

  I spend more than one and a half hours with my lovely guide Switlana exploring the old town, especially the ancient courtyards of Odesa. It was an extraordinary and wonderful, exciting tour, because I love this way of exploring places "of the beaten tracks". Switlana as a widely educated local lady told great stories about the old city and the courtyards, we talked about many aspects of Odesas life and history. She was very kind and adapted easily to my wishes. She waited for me as I was late after getting stucked in the traffic and she organised a cheap taxi for me in the end. Thank you so much for this great experience!
