The Republic of Moldova was Soviet for almost 50 years and it has left its mark, one is Transnistria. And why not a trip to the pro-Russian separatist region of Transnistria? A small return to the USSR for a day, to say "I was there" .., to discover a territory without territory ... .., a country without a country ... The political situation is still complex today with Moldova, the tension is palpable but not dangerous for a foreign tourist. Visiting Transnistria is possible because it is not instinctively against tourism. Our agency organizes this trip with a mixture of discovery, pleasure of the palate and meeting with the soil. You will be able to discover the authentic aspects of a region still under a model that was thought to be out of date.

Inclusions: Professional guide, Private transportation all day, Tickets to all sites included in the itinerary

Exclusions: Optional excursions, Food and drinks, Personal expenses

Great way to see two of the most interesting sites in Moldova. The Curchi monastery was beautiful, and the old Orhei village was beautiful. The authentic lunch at the ecolodge there was amazing as well. Friendly and professional driver. Definitely recommend!

I do postcards with my drawings and budget tours to top attractions and hidden gems of Transnistria. Honestly, I can’t make Maldives of my country, because it is not Maldives. But i can make an unforgettable journey through all contrasts of what it really is - beautiful panoramas and impressive soviet lost places, curious history and nowadays life in the country that doesn't exist, combining classic walk with forays for true explorers and adventurers. Full day tour takes eight hours default, though Transnistria deserves at least a week. It is not Stalinism, we are very volatile where to go and what to do, but default route covers must-see USSR era and modern bits of Tiraspol, Bendery and optionallly Kitskany, and my favorite nooks and crannies that I discovered doing my sketches. The trip wont be exhausting, not boring at all, we will have time to talk about all peculiarities of past and present of Transnistria, you won’t be meeting a guide, you will be meeting a friend!

Inclusions: Transport - trolley bus, marshrurka and optionally taxi. At first we support public transport., Postcard with my sketch of Transnistria, Fridge magnet for the memory, Set of plastic roubles of Transnistria

Exclusions: Menu depends on appetite so the lunch price is excluded. We pick the cafee upon agreement but I ll sketch best options, Transfer from Moldova or Ukraine. Transfer from Chishinau center is 15 euro. Airport pick 15$

I made with Anton a tour. First of all his english is impressive, while it is at general a bit difficult to find fluent english speakers in this region. Beside that, we visited an abandoned soviet factory, saw some beautiful mosaics and had a great talk about post soviet reality. Compared to a tour I made some years ago, it was a really awesome experience.

But i can make an unforgettable journey through all contrasts of what it really is - beautiful panoramas and impressive soviet lost places, curious history and nowadays life in the country that doesn't exist, combining classic walk with forays for true explorers and adventurers. Now I started virtual tour, it is a teaser, a sneak peek, but I made it as close to real tours as possible. Everything can be customized, there is no Stalinism, we will decide where to go and what to talk about along the way. Default route is 2 hours, I will show my favorite bits of Tiraspol and Bendery, first part - city, second part - urbex. You can use smartphone or notebook web-browser, and write your questions and comments in chat in same window. There will be jaw-down abandoned USSR places where I never took real tours before.

Inclusions: Postcard for the memory! Cards, magnets and maps made by the guide himself available for purchase!

For the Chisinau part of the trip we had a guide who walked with us and talked us through history and culture for a few hours. For the trip out of the city effectively we had a driver rather than a guide. Still an enjoyable day, but perhaps not as some would expect
