The temperature in the Catacombs is about 57°F (14°С) all year round and they are one of the longest in the world. The Odessa catacombs don’t resemble the ones in Rome and Paris, offering you a brand new experience. The history of this attraction starts in the 19th century, with the appearance of the limestone quarries. Odessa was a fast growing city and people needed a cheap construction material for the buildings. As a result, long underground labyrinths emerged under the city. It wasn’t safe and soon the mining was prohibited, however the catacombs have remained untouched till today. Your professional guide will tell you many stories that took place in the catacombs and you will see how much this place means to Odessa and the citizens of the city. Once it was the place where robbers and smugglers hid from the police and you will hear a lot of facts about the criminal past of the city. You will get a lot of new impressions after visiting Odessa catacombs; it is an unforgettable experience. After the tour, your driver will bring you back to the hotel.

Natasha 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.

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 !
