4.00I did not take this exact tour Tatiana is advertising here. I took a 1 day tour starting from Chisinau and visiting Transnistria in October of 2024. I paid 130 US through Viator which I thought a bit high. But it did include the drive to and from Chisinau. Lunch was separate. First, I was not charged a single supplement and able to book last minute which was great. Most of us on the tour (6) were single and from all over. The communication was OK utilizing whats app after I booked. Second, and here is the bad part- I was ending my vacation and had a bad knee injury and the driver put me in the back of a car with three rows. Because of my injury and the cramped space I could not exit the car on my own. I am tiny so it is not a size thing it is just my knee was injured, and I pointed it out but was ignored. The driver should have moved the younger male who was also small in the front seat to the back to help me out. I suffered a great deal and it was very embarrassing as people had to lift me out and I am not used to this. I would not have had this issue in 3 other seats in the car but he did not move me. Since I was not taken care of both tips were withheld for this lack of basic customer service and being the only American they hurt themselves dearly as the other nationalities were from non-tipping cultures. Anyway, aside from that the tour was pretty good. Tatianta tried to give each member of the group personal service and that was wonderful. I for example had to exchange money and have a Transnistrian beer-it was good even at 10 am lol Another guy wanted to get the plastic coins, and some Italians insisted on an afternoon expresso. Of course, we all needed our kitschy souvenirs, and she accommodated us there as well. It was a blast taking the public transit, seeing the market, walking down the streets seeing how they live, and the fortress was amazing. For lunch she took us to her house where her mom served us. That was really cool! I was happy because she did not force us the get a big lunch and we could choose to order a la cart. Nothing is worse on a tour than when they force you to buy a 40 dollar lunch when you want a cheap lunch. Seeing her house was cool. During lunch her family and friends played a typical song for us and sang. Corney but lovely non the less. And for those curious the border crossing was easy. I very much recommend a trip with Tatiana.
