Overview

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 You will be able to discover the authentic aspects of a region still under a model that was thought to be out of date.

Tiraspol is considered the capital of Transnistria, a city that has preserved the Soviet symbols of its past with the monuments of Lenin, the administrative buildings of Soviet architecture and with the tank in the city center.

Interesting trip into a time warp with an entertaining guide. (Just recommend him to refrain from anti-LGBT quips - his clients may be LGBT themselves).

A fascinating trip with Nicolai to a place my son and I have always wanted to visit. We were happy to have him take us across (simple and straighforward) the border and to address any minor language occurrences. We were transported to an unknown geopolitical region where Nicolai explained and showed us all that was to be seen. What a unique adventure. The organisation was superb too from the pick up and contact with the agency to the lunch in a Soviet era restaurant.

Fantastic experience. Nice comfortable and modern Rave 4 SUV. A local guide who knew his business and the area. Great English, amazing local knowledge and we felt in very safe hands at all times. He also went out of his way to help us find some old books for our collection and drop us to a different location at the end. If you’re thinking of visiting Transnistria then look no further. Simply brilliant.

This is an amazing tour that takes you to such a unique part of the world! Transnistria is a place that you must see with your own eyes and not listen to any other entity (news, blogs, etc.). My tour guide, Nicolai, was so so amazing!!! He had endless amounts of information and knowledge to share with me, was a great conversationalist, and had a refreshing sense of humor. If you can get him as your guide, I highly recommend that you do so. As you experience the sites, he is very patient and never rushes you like many others often do. He is one of the best tour guides I've had the pleasure of meeting. Furthermore, this is one of the best tours I've been on as well. I highly recommend this tour and Nicolai!
