Interesting tour about defense of Odesa - On this tour you will hear very interesting,inspiring and emotional stories about heroic defense of Odesa in hard times, solders,various weapons, vehicles and see very interesting exhibits. Guide Nastja know a lot of interesting and historic information and she transfer everything in very good way. They offer transport which is cheaper then taxi or uber. There is also very good entertainment park for children.

Military History by the weapons that fought it - Great, well-informed tour of the Soviet 411 battery and military equipment. Each piece has a story to tell and guide Nastya tells it well. One learns about heavy tanks and artillery and how well they worked and how far they reached. One sees a tiny artillery apparatus dubbed the "Goodbye Motherland' because of its vulnerability to retaliatory strikes. Nastya explains the mystery behind the numbering of the submarine on display. On display is also a gigantic gun of the type used to counter Romanian advances in World War II. The actual guns and their supporting bunkers had to be destroyed by Soviet forces eventually as the attack on Odessa proceeded. One can see the remains if those bunkers nearby. Next to the park is a small military history museum of the 411 Battery and other military forces in the region in WW2. It tells the human stories behind the military equipment [albeit all in Russian text]. The tour and museum addition probably take two hours to traverse and contemplate. For those interested in seeing real historical artifacts read about in books or seen in documentaries and movies, this is a must-do tour for you. Nastya's in-depth knowledge and personal style ensure you enjoy a most informative experience.

Tour Guard needs to change career. - Was contemplating a visit but didn't see the point considering the Tour Guide doesn't even know the country's history, oh dear how embarrassing!!. Just for the record & quick history lesson The Ukraine was one of Germany's closest Allies through the war & Hitler was a hero to them, I believe your army cadets are called 'Hitler Youth' in his honour, even today. Plenty of libraries in Ukraine so a visit is a must ok.
