View on Google MapsNatasha gave us a great tour through the catacombs. Interesting how they were used to fight the German invasion. Bring a jacket, it’s cool down there.
We have just arrived back from a fantastic tour of the catacombs with our guide Nataliya! Being a history teacher I was already very excited, but this tour surpassed expectations. We were collected from our hotel on time and then the tour was underway as soon as the car pulled away. Nataliya spoke passionately about the history and founding of the city of Odessa, pointing out some further details in the city as we drove out of town on our way to the site. No sitting in awkward silence, we were engaged from the off! Our tour in the catacombs lasted approx 1hr 45 mins and we saw the main museum section therefore we did not need boots or hard hats, we wore jeans and tops with cardigans and slip on shoes and we were fine. Shoes with socks would be recommended, it is constant 15 degrees underground. The history of the partisan resistance and their lives in the catacombs was fascinating, especially as our guide was so knowledgeable and had family connections to this. It was storytelling at its best, bringing the past to life. But she went further and offered something for everyone, from rock formations to the science and skill behind the early house building. On the tour you see the passages and living quarters of the partisans including the sleeping areas, hospital, school, meeting area, bomb making room etc I cannot recommend this tour highly enough and a special thanks to our guide who really made the tour exceptional.

<p>This tour was great. Mistakenly booked one day late and miraculously they accommodated me. So glad that I did not disappoint 10 people. We went to the Odessa catacombs. It was a comfortable air condition ride from the Arkadia district. Our guide was very knowledgeable... recommended !</p>
<p>This tour would have been more enjoyable if the tour guide didn't overload us with so many information. She even seemed so annoyed whenever we looked away to take some pictures. The catacomb itself is amazing with so many myriads of mazes that can run hundreds of kilometres. Only short portion of the catacombs open to public to explore. When we entered the catacomb, we didn't realize we explored deep down the underground. And when we got to the end of the catacomb exit, we got to about 6 flights of stairs to go up above the ground which brought you to a small museum.<br/> I would recommend this tour as long as you don't get the same tour guide, the rest you will enjoy it.</p>
<p>This was an excellent tour, which far exceeded my expectations.</p> <p>Larissa, my guide, was very informative and very good company, and added enormously to my enjoyment of the visit.</p>
