Very professional guided in englishwith excellent knowledge of history

Our two person’s private guided 5 hours Odessa tour by Yuriy Bocharev. Guided by excellent English and bilingually in Russian to my Ukrainian friend. He had an excellent knowledge of Odessa’s history from ancient times until today. I guess that we had a comprehensive walking tour through all-important places in the Centre of Odessa. He knows very well history of buildings, monuments and statues. He had bunch of some posters with him, which helped lot of understanding of changes made over the centuries. It was also very car tour through of suburban area to a spa and recreational facilities of the Black Sea shore. I would like to give an extra bonus for Yuriy, because he had a high quality camera with him. He was also very professional photographer, which gave us very nice freedom just to enjoy looking sightseeing. As a couple, my friend and I have now an excellent collection of lovely photos. Our warmest thanks to Yuriev from his effort by sending photos, and memorable tour guidance
