First of all I have to say a big thank you to Natalia our guide. I’ve never met a guide more passionate about their career and someone who is so happy to show you their country. She had great in depth knowledge of history, politics, and culture and truly showed us a great time. I’d recommend for anyone visiting Moldova to add this tour as a must do experience on their trip. Groups are no more than 4 people and the guides are flexible as well, showing you everything but make sure everyone is comfortable and enjoying it at their own pace. Would recommend 100%, it’s worth every dollar spent.

Great tour through a country hardly recognized by most of the modern world. However, when in Moldova it is def worth the day trip to go there. Process was seamless and did not have any issues in regard to safety. My guide Natalia was fantastic. From the beginning of booking through the excursion itself she is the ultimate professional making sure the tour is enjoyable and informative. She seeks to make sure you are comfortable throughout the journey. Highly recommended tour w a highly recommended guide.
one of the most interesting views I've ever had thanks to Natalia

I'd like to share my incredible experience with Natalia throughout the preparation and execution of my visit to Transnistria. From the very first contact, she was extremely attentive, providing detailed and informative information that helped me plan my trip safely and with peace of mind. During the day trip, she led the tour to the main points of interest, explaining with great dedication the origins, history, and interesting facts of each location. Her passion for what she does and her in-depth knowledge made the experience even more enriching and memorable. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a well-led, informative tour full of the details that make all the difference. It was, without a doubt, one of the best tourism experiences I've ever had! Natalia also provided useful information about the city of Chisinau and helped me with information for my visit to Odessa, Ukraine. Jaerson Brasil

One of our main plans in Moldova was to visit Transnistria. We are really lucky to have Natalia as our guide on this trip. She was as excited as us to share & show us this Unique place, we were curious about. She is kind, professional, polite and extremely knowledgeable. Natalia understood our interests and helped understand culture, food, weather and sites in a timely manner. She took us to the Sunday market, souvenir shop and also helped us with excellent lunch choice. Pridnestrovie will be a special part of our memory! All thanks to Natalia. Ps: Thank you for also giving us excellent recommendations in Chisinău.
Amazing!

We throughly enjoyed our trip to Transnistria, our guide Natalia was so friendly and knowledgeable and made sure we did not miss anything. She was so flexible with the time we spent at every stop and she met all of our concerns with comfort, food, water and heat. She showed interest in our interests and added bonus stops on for us and explained everything very clearly. We felt so safe in Transnistria and the locals made us feel very comfortable. Thank you so much Natalia we’d already love to go back!

I visited Transnistria with my son in the middle of a scorching hot July, and we had an absolutely wonderful experience thanks to our guide and driver, Natalia. She gave us a fantastic tour, taking us to all the most important sights across Transnistria and making sure we were well cared for the entire day. Despite the intense heat, we truly enjoyed every moment. Natalia was incredibly flexible and attentive to our needs, which made a huge difference, especially since it was just the two of us — we were able to adjust the schedule to suit our own pace and interests. The whole day flew by! We received a wealth of fascinating information, and Natalia answered all of our questions thoroughly and with great insight. Also worth noting: Transnistria felt very safe, the locals were friendly and welcoming, and the region is definitely open to tourism more than we expected. In summary: an amazing trip, and I 100% recommend Natalia if you're planning a visit to Transnistria!
