I was on a tour to Milestii Mici and I found that it is quite easy on my own (unless you actually visit the winery, where you are assigned a guide). The tour is very fast and simple, because I wanted to find out more and see the actual process of wine production (how to harvest, where to store, how to turn into wine, how to store, how to bottle in bottles). at the outlet is a store where you can find good wines at low prices ...

Dumitru was a great guide, very professional and willing to show me the type of architecture (mostly socialist housing buildings) I wanted to see. I haven't planned the tour much ahead and was lucky Dumitru had a few hours for me. I can recommend him to everyone looking for a customized experience.

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.

A must do. I did the evening tour with tasting. Tour of the expansive underground cellars which included salt displays and visiting the tasting rooms. You ride through the cellars on a motorized trolley which takes you to several of the major cellars. It is basically an entire city with street names underground. If you can, do a tasting tour as they do really formal seating with delicious samples. There is a video at the beginning in their bar/theater which explains the history & process. The tour is done by Crickova staff not your tour guide, and you may select the language. There is a superb gift shop.
