  • Spectacular guide and tour

    One of the best tours we’ve ever been on! Jenna was magnificent. She picked us up at the hotel and dropped us off at the airport. She was extremely knowledgeable, a very conscientious and safe driver, and had a spectacular way of pacing all of the activities. It was a lot to get in in eight or nine hours, but she went above and beyond to give us a fabulous tour! If you can book the private tour, you should because it was tailored precisely to our wants and needs!

    Natalia was an excellent guide. She took me to a variety of places, including a supermarket, a park, and several monuments. Throughout the tour, she shared a lot of historical background and insightful information that helped me understand Transnistria much more deeply. Thanks to her, the tour became a truly memorable and meaningful experience. I am very grateful to Natalia for giving me such a wonderful time.

    Really enjoyed the experience of visiting Pridnestrovia, Natalia was super informative both prior to the tour and during the tour, with excellent stops for food and souvenirs, this really is a must see experience, into this Soviet time capsule.

  • Amazing day with Natalia

    We had an amazing day with Natalia, who felt more like a friend showing us around her home than a typical tour guide. She was incredibly friendly and attentive to all our needs. A highlight was the delicious lunch at a themed restaurant that truly immersed us in the Soviet era. Every stop was fascinating, from the local markets where we sampled honey to the antique shops and even the supermarket—a practical but interesting stop for changing money! Also all sovietic buildings and the Bender castle were so worth the trip. Saw later on Instagram other places like astronaut mural and other buildings I would have like to see but I guess one day is short

    Had an amazing tour to Transnistria with Natalia. We could have not asked for a better guide, as she has a vast amount of knowledge about the area and its history and culture. She was able to show us so many great sights and gave us context to understand and form our own opinions. The lunch spot she chose was fantastic and we left full and happy. The tour itself is structured well and isn't too long. There is a good mix of driving and walking. Transnistria itself is not to be missed when visiting Moldova! It is safe to travel there and people were friendly and welcoming. Fully recommend this tour!

    This was an amazing experience. Natalia, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable about Moldova and Pridnestrovie. Her excellent communication kept the excursion both interesting and engaging. I would definitely book another tour with her. Thank you!

  • Great and eye-opening trip to Transnistria

    We had a really great trip to Transnistria with our guide, Natalia. She was very kind, friendly, and thoughtful, and made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable throughout the tour. You could ask her anything, and she was always happy to share what she knows. The tour gave us a really interesting and eye-opening insight into how Transnistria works as a self-governing region within Moldova. Although it is officially part of Moldova, it has its own government, currency, and border control, and in many ways it feels like a separate country. This is definitely a trip we wouldn’t have wanted to miss, and a big thank you to Natalia for being such a great guide. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone — it was a very memorable and special experience.

  • Wonderful Nathalia for a great day in Transnistria

    Eight hours of pure happiness and great interest in this visit. Nathalia is an unparalleled guide who showed us a lot more than in the program. She answered all our questions and knows Tranistria on her fingertips including to show us a multitude of details including in supermarkets. In addition, it drives in a very gentle and safe way. This excursion should be mandatory in all stays in Moldova. Thank you, Nathalia.

    The tour covers all the major highlights in the area, while also not rushing you, so you can really enjoy the experience. To our luck we had a very small group (4 visitors in total), so we could really enjoy the entire experience at a calm pace. Our guide Natalia was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the journey. Provided us with information about not just Transnistria but also about all of Moldova. Overall, highly recommended. The entire place feels calmer and safer than most cities around the world, so anyone can visit without worries.
