About this tour

In the footsteps of Ostap Bender


Oh, Ostap Bender! Our favorite negative-positive hero!


That's right: in this image of a clever swindler, we often find the features of a sometimes ironic, often noble and always resourceful and tireless Odessan, a seeker of money and adventure. Such a collective image of a local pharmacist.


And even his full name - Ostap-Suleiman-Berta-Maria-Bender-bey - is more appropriate here than anywhere else: after all, Odessa is a Turkish fortress in the past and who knows what percentage of Turkish blood flows in the veins of "native" Odessans ?!


Dates: every day


How it will happen

On our excursion, we will walk through the streets of Odesa in the "footsteps of Ostap Bender", find out who served as the prototype of the hero, where the famous jokes and puns in the novel came from, and finally, how two geniuses - Ilf and Petrov - created a brilliant and likable image of the Great Combiner.

Well, and to make everything in this program brilliant, here is Odessa guide Oleksandr Rovny, the author and host of this excursion


The price is indicated for an individual order from 1 to 20 people.
