Excursión de un día a Transnistria

Very interesting tour. Our guide Vita was very nice young lady. She shared with us a lot of history and interesting fact about Transnistria..

Great experience only 5 of us with Tatiana who spoke excellent English and gave us a lot of information. We had lunch at a local woman’s house of traditional Moldovan specialties which was prepared from scratch. Border crossing was very easy. We handed our passports to our driver at the border control and got them with the temporary registration paper for Transnistria. We were very safe at all the important highlights we visited which one included Bender Fortresss, two war memorials, city hall. I had changed my tour plans to this one and was not disappointed.

It is like traveling through time. A quiet and well-kept city. The gardens, especially, are beautiful. The food place is very family-oriented.

I had a one on one tour with Dmitriy and Tatiana. They're a great team, Dmitriy is a calm and safe driver, lovely clean modern car. Tatiana is professional, full of information. I enjoyed the full day tour, saw, are and drank so much. Would recommend, would do again

This was one of the highlights of my trip to Moldova. It was so great learning all the history. There were no issues with border police as some vlogs have concern over. Felt safe and being with a local guide I had no worries. This price has transportation included but the other person in my group took the bus from Chisinau with no issues and save a lot of money. Overall, 5/5, loved it.

Nicholas was a great local guide. He was very knowledgeable about the city and took us to some interesting sites. The lunch with Tatiana and her family was amazing, and a chance to try real local Moldavian food in a beautiful setting. We would definitely recommend this tour.

It is a very interesting tour and we recommend to others if you like history and curious about this unique place. Olga has done all she could do to guide this tour and we sincerely appreciate her effect. However, the transfer from Chishinau to Tiraspol was disorganized. We were picked up at 8:30am as planned, then the next 3 people found our car in a parking lot while the driver still somewhere looking for them. Then we drove to a place for bathroom stop and waiting for more people to join, but no one came for a long time. We continued and met the guide passed 11 am. So the morning time was mostly gone and during all those time, we couldn't communicate to driver much, barely a few words via cell phone translate.

Fantastic experience in Transnistria. The guide, Tatiana, speaks excellent English and is able to cover topics from history to current affairs, always offering a view from different perspectives. The tour will take you to visit the Bender Castle and the city center of Tiraspol. The experience in the Soviet canteen or the green market was beautiful.

Wonderful excursion from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized, with beautiful routes and unique experiences throughout. Nicholas, our driver and guide, was outstanding—very friendly, professional, and kind. His knowledge of the country's history was impressive and made the tour even more interesting and enjoyable. We highly recommend him! We had an amazing time and created unforgettable memories.

I’ve been to 77 countries so it takes quite a bit nowadays to blow my mind.. but this day trip did. It is simply an extraordinary place to visit: on the one hand, a quiet, chilled, friendly lovely place.. on the other a breakaway territory considered under Russian military occupation by the Council of Europe. It’s a truly weird place, full of contradictions: a celebration of the Soviet Union.. and at the same time there are statues of Catherine the Great and the last Tsar is worshipped as a saint. Basically it seems to just celebrate whenever Russia was great, regardless of the contradictory ideologies. It’s an authoritarian semi-dictatorship (we were given a list of rules such as the word „Transnistria“ being forbidden), yet it felt really easy going strolling through the place. The journey from Chisinau was quick and easy. The border crossing took 3 minutes. Our young French/ PMR guide Nicholas, was superb: friendly, informative, warm. Lunch in a Soviet style canteen was fun and cheap. We were driven round in an 80s Soviet Lada which added to the experience. A few practical things: You can’t use credit cards, or non-PMR phones even with e-Sims. Every country in the world advises you against travel here as only Russia has a consulate.. so if you lose your passport you’re screwed. And your travel / health insurance is invalid. All that said (!) it felt incredibly safe: crime is non-existent and you’re with an official guide on a day trip. It’s without doubt statistically far riskier riding your bike through London. Would I recommend? 100% YES. I’ll never forget this bizarre, fascinating day.
