Absolute must if you have the time (well, and money because it's not cheap). Visiting Odessa (which is an unreasonably pretty city) isn't like visiting just another post-communist city, it's a glimps into a country at war. It shows the incredible perseverance of the Ukrainians, but also how civil society finds a way to continue. Words cannot express seeing that -- I highly, highly recommend going. We saw no danger, and few direct signs of the war (September 15), but we did hear air raid sirens. There are long queues at the border, and it is very far from Chisenau so prepare for a long day and not that much time in the city (4-5 hours). Our guide was professional, and the itinerary within Odessa is well selected. The group was small (3) which gave ample of opportunities for questions and all that.
Thank you so much for such thoughtful and detailed feedback! Hope to see you in the future on our tours in Moldova and Ukraine! Warm regards, T&T 🩷🇲🇩
