Fantastic tour!

5.00This was one of the most interesting tours in a most unusual place, the country that apparently doesn't exist! Tatiana was a most knowledgeable and approachable guide and gave us many helpful tips. We visited all the main attractions in Tiraspol and also spent time in Bender after lunch at her parents house which included homemade wine and brandy! Would highly recommend visiting Pridnestrovie (Transnistria) for an authentic experience off the beaten track.
All very well

5.00I recently took the tour to Pridnestrovie, and it turned out to be a really unique and memorable experience. The whole trip was very well organized, and the guide did an excellent job explaining the complex history and political background of the region in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely interesting. It’s not a place you can fully appreciate without context, and the tour really helped bring everything to life. What stood out most was how much culture there is packed into such a small and unusual territory, from Soviet-era monuments to local traditions that you wouldn’t encounter elsewhere. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in history, geopolitics, or just visiting somewhere off the beaten path. It’s not your typical destination, which is exactly what makes it worth experiencing.
Very interesting, worth...

5.00Tatyana and her family have created an exceptional experience full of knowledge and authenticity. This one day trip is the highlight of any visit in Moldova as it not only emerges you to the socioeconomic situation of Transistria but also provides a welcoming atmosphere and highly knowledgeable guide to the trip. First time I paid for a guided tour and it changed my view on these services.
Everything super good!

5.00Excellent value, a must do for anyone with an interest in European history. Our guide Tatiana was very knowledgeable and friendly and the lunch and wine at her parent’s’ house was delicious. There is a lot of walking but everywhere we went was spotlessly clean, well-maintained and extremely safe. The only slight criticism is Tatiana’s English pronunciation (eg pronouncing “Latin” as “Lay-tan”, which confused a lot of people. Her vocabulary and grammar are great but her pronunciation is difficult to understand at times). But, only a minor issue…the whole trip was an amazing experience and value!
Gentle guide, well informed

5.00Gentle guide, well informed willing to help you in any trouble. What I did not like was the choice of the Soviet dining room as a place to eat.
A beautiful day was given to us.

5.00There were only three of us plus guide and driver. An absolute stroke of luck the two. It began with the Jedi first recognizing the Fuhrer. She couldn't get the cardboard with my name out of her purse. We had a wonderful day and how the later evening went, the singer's courtesy is silent. The Jedi must protect his new friends. ;-}
Pridnestrovia / Transnistria May 2025

5.00This is a well organised tour, and gives visitors an authentic experience of Pridnestrovia / Transnistria during the day. Tatiana was an excellent, informative and sympathetic guide and handled her narrative of what is a sensitive situation in a professional and balanced manner. The balance of historical sites and the city centre worked well in giving context and insights. Our lunch stop was magnificent. What a welcoming family, with wonderful food, wine and engagement. This is not to be missed!
