5.00Lilia started off the tour with a surprise visit to an old school converted into an exhibit for old bits of technology from the past of Moldova which was a pleasant surprise. Lilia was informative and very welcoming and I would definitely say she is the go to guide for all things Moldova 🇲🇩. If you come to Chisinau or transistria, Lilia is the guide you want. 5/5 but if could give more stars then I would.
