Your local guide brings that personal connection to the tour through real stories, casual conversations, jokes, and honest perspectives — including what people who actually lived through that period remember and think. Less like a history tour, more like spending a day with a local who grew up with the history you're discovering.

We offer you an excursion dedicated to one of the regions of Moldova: "Gagauzia". This little-known region is located in the south of Moldova. It is populated by the Gagauz, a Turkish-speaking population largely Russified and historically close to the Turks of Anatolia.

Historically, the Turkish-speaking Christians of Bulgaria, the "Gök-oğuz" or Gagauz, were established here in 1812, among the Moldovans, when the Russian Empire annexed Bessarabia.
