“I am Hanna Vasyuta, a tour guide since 2019, a historian by education, and a native of Odesa. I am the person who will help you discover Odesa as a breathtaking, captivating city that will stay in your memory for a long 😉.
With me, you will:
See the city from a new perspective and discover more hidden details;
Experience interacting with a local resident whose family has lived continuously in Odesa for several generations;
Have someone to ask about where to relax, eat, sleep, have fun, where to go, and what to see in Odesa”.
Sightseeing Tour of Odesa’s Historic Centre
Type of tour: walking tour.
Duration: 2.5 hours.
Українська, English
This is your best choice for your first introduction to the city. On this tour, you will see Odesa’s main tourist locations, including the Opera House, the Potemkin Stairs, Primorsky Boulevard, Deribasivska Street, and more. After this sightseeing tour, you will have no more questions about who Richelieu, Deribas, and Langeron were, what the luxurious-looking Passage keeps silent about, or what “Let’s meet at Soborka” means to the people of Odesa.
“The Catacombs of Moldavanka”
Type of tour: walking tour.
Duration: 1.5 hours.
Українська, English
oday, this is the safest tour in Odesa — the catacombs also serve as a shelter from shelling. We will descend 14 metres underground, going down 98 steps to see what the world’s longest underground labyrinths look like. We will learn how they came into existence and what happened to them in different historical periods (spoiler: we will enter the remains of a Soviet bunker), look at century-old drawings and archaeological finds, and experience what it is like to be in a place without any sounds, smells, or natural light.
“Odesa’s Courtyards”
Type of tour: walking tour.
Duration: 2.5 hours.
Українська, English
After visiting the Opera House and Deribasivska Street, it is time to see the famous courtyards — the very ones where the spirit of Odesa, historic architecture, and distinctive local stories still thrive. In these courtyards, we will see the legendary corridor-like galleries where those classic Odesa dialogues took place. We will admire luxurious frescoes and colourful murals, visit the most magnificent courtyard in Odesa, and hear extraordinary stories from its residents.
“Mysterious Stories of Odesa: The Other Side of the City”
Type of tour: walking tour.
Duration: 2.5 hours.
Українська, English
This is an improved and modern version of the tour where you wanted to hear about Mishka Yaponchik or Sonka the Golden Hand. Now, you will hear not only about them but also many other chilling stories of executions, murders, and swindlers. We will learn how Odesa’s smuggling networks operated, how the Ukrainian underground resistance operated in the very heart of Odesa, and for whom the 1990s, unfortunately, became a period of prosperity.
