I came to Odessa for a personal root-finding trip. The grandfather of my grandfather was from Odessa and I am currently researching the life in Odessa in the second half of the 19th century. I was very lucky to take Natalia as a guide. First of all - Natalia is a very pleasant personality. She had answers and suggestions for all the numerous questions I asked her before my visit. Her answers came within minutes, and were full of helpful information. We took four trips with her (City Center,Jewish Odessa, The Catacombs and Hidden Yards). Natalia has an excellent knowledge about the history and geography of Odessa and its people. She gave us excellent recommendations about restaurants, hotel, shopping and other activities we did by ourselves. Her English is fluent and she is very punctual. Touring Odessa with Natalia was exactly what I was looking for. I have now a good idea about present Odessa as well as old Odessa. I highly recomment her to anyone who is interested in an in-depth look at Odessa.
