Very relaxed tour, and very informative. Great mix of activities. It was a great adventure. Our guide was very good.

I went on this tour in Transnistria and the overall experience was very positive.
The departure was a slight delay, but considering there were other people to load before me, I found it understandable.
Natalia, the guide, seemed prepared and passionate about her work, an aspect that I really appreciated because it made the explanations engaging and empathetic. During the tour we visited different areas of Transnistria and I found the historical and cultural insights on both Moldova and Transnistria very interesting.
On the way back we visited the Mimi Castle with wine tasting, which I personally liked a lot. The contrast between the atmosphere of Transnistria and Mimi’s well-kept and elegant environment was, for me, a very interesting aspect.
I also liked the driver, always available and attentive.
Overall it was an experience I enjoyed and would recommend.
Thanks again to Natalia and the team.

Agréablement surprise : excursion très intéressante, sous le soleil, avec la visite de la forteresse de Bender, de plusieurs belles églises orthodoxes, des lieux et monuments principaux de Bender et Tiraspol et une belle expérience au restaurant "Black in the USSR". Un grand merci à Lillia qui a rendu cette journée très agréable et intéressante : j'ai appris beaucoup de choses sur cette partie de la Moldavie que l'on connait peu.
