Overview

Dear travelers to Moldova!
I would like to warmly greet you in my home country and introduce you to our small country. On the map of Eastern Europe, Moldova is still an unexplored country. On our one-day tour we will visit a place that Moldova can surprise with - state within Moldova - tiny Transnistria, which cannot be found on the world map. We show and tell you about people's everyday lives, our culture and values, and typical Moldovan delicacies. Lunch is served by the locals at the inn in the Bulgarian village. The promise: after the tour you will sing songs in Romanian and Russian. On the tour we visit the Bendery Fortress, on the city walk we get to know the historical events that shaped this region. We see the Soviet monuments, Lenin and Suvorov monuments, the majestic buildings and places of remembrance, even the abandoned amusement park.

All I can say is Thank You to Tatiana and to your parents Ludmilla and Dimitri. Tatiana - You were punctual and full of information and dates and super friendly and your English is excellent and the various locations throughout the tour ticked all the boxes I wanted to see at a great price. Your parents - To be invited to your home to enjoy a traditional 3 course meal cooked by your mother was an honour and a privilege as I ate many meals in Moldova BUT none as good as that meal. Tatiana's father found out I don't drink beer or wine BUT I am a spirits drinker I got brought a jug of local Brandy and a jug of liqueur and I preferred the Brandy and to say my glass was never empty is an understatement and the quality of the brandy was as good as an aged Irish or Scotch whiskey which would be my area of expertise. So I definitely left the house with a bit of colour in my cheeks and a full belly. Great family amazing tour. What are you waiting for get it booked.

The tour started with picking me up from the hotel. Others were picked up at the way which was nice because then you meet new people. Tatiana was an amazing tour guide because she knew a lot of places and she ensured we could see and learn what we wanted to learn about Transnistria. The local food we got to try was amazing and home cooked so it added extra niceness to the whole experience. I really recommend taking this specific tour to Transnistria with Tatiana because she knows what she's talking about.

Organization was top (message to announce pick- up time, punctual pick-up, no unnecessary waiting, etc). Sights were abundant (fort bender, memorials, home in a local village, local market, soviet style cafeteria, monuments, museum). So Knowledgable (at every stop our guide Tatiana shared historical, political and everyday details) and patiently and enthusiastically answered all our questions. While every bit of the tour was super, my two highlights were the following: 1) having a local (transnistrian) beer in this soviet style cafeteria that made you feel like back in the time where by coincidence 2 boys were nostalgic piano and singing 2) and most and above being invited to our tour guides childhood home. We (me from Germany, a woman from Sweden and a man from Brazil) felt the truly warm and authentic welcome. The food cooked by outsourcing guide ' s mom was super yummy, often from local or even home grown ingredients. And they so kindly celebrated my birthday with me, gifting me a hand-knotted pair of socks. There was more wine than we could drink and we had such an amazing time singing together, petting their adorable cat and just talk about everything and nothing. Thank you Tatiana for this amazing day! And to your parents Ludmilla and Dimitri

Ich hatte eine sehr schöne und interessante Tour von Chisinau aus nach Transnistrien. Wir haben viele interessante Stationen besucht, als erstes die Festung in der Stadt Bender. Es gibt hier auch eine schöne Kirche und ein informatives Militärmuseum. Danach ging es zu Fuß über interessante Plätze in die Stadt Bender und u.a. auf den Markt und zum Rathaus der Stadt. Danach ging es zum Mittagessen in das Dorf zwischen Bender und Tiraspol. Ich wurde herzlich empfangen und durfte die leckere lokale Küche verkosten. Auch durfte ich die schöne moldauische Musik kennen lernen. Der gute Wein für den Moldau bekannt ist durfte natürlich auch nicht fehlen! Viele schöne und leckere kulinarische wie auch kulturelle Eindrücke. Danach ging es in die Hauptstadt Tiraspol. Auch hier haben wir alle relavanten interessanten Orte und Gebäude besucht. Eine Postkarte nach Deutschland geschickt & die transnistrische Währung getauscht. Auf dem Weg von und nach Tiraspol kamen wir auch am Gelände des Fussballclubs Sheriff Tiraspol vorbei. Vielen Dank an die ganze Familie von Tatiana! Ich habe sehr viel über Moldau und Transnistrien, die Kultur und die Menschen gelernt. Viele neue und auch unerwartete Eindrücke gewonnen. Tatiana hatte immer auf alles eine Antwort und interessante Informationen parat :-) vielen Dank Ich kann die Tour und meine Guides auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlen! Transnistrien ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert :-)
