Very nice tour, recommend!

Our tour guide Lilia was fantastic. Since there were only four of us, the tour felt very private and personalized. Lilia reads her audience extremely well and adjusts her approach to the group, which I really appreciated. She shared many interesting facts and historical insights about Transnistria. Highly recommend!Text
