Good to Know

Dear travellers to Moldova! I would like to greet you warmly in my home country and introduce you to our little country. On the map of Eastern Europe, Moldova is still an unexplored country. On our one-day tour, we visit a place that can surprise Moldova – state within Moldova – tiny Transnistria, which is not found on the world map. We show and tell you about people's everyday lives, our culture and values, typical Moldovan delicacies. Lunch is served at the inn in the Bulgarian village at the locals'. On the tour we visit the fortress of Bendery, on the city walk we learn about the historical events that had shaped this region. We look at the Soviet monuments, Lenin and Suvorov monuments, the majestic building and memorial sites.

Today Bendery Castle is considered a sprawling monument with incomparable Turkish architecture. We also visit the 19th century Orthodox church. The torture museum is also there; you climb to the highest tower of the fortress. Here at the castle you can also read Münchhausen's fairy tale 'Ride on the Cannonball' and even fly on a cannon!

Excellent tour

Easily the best tour I did in Moldova. Great opportunity to visit a completely different part of the world. Our tour guide was very helpful and informative and was even able to accommodate a visit to Sheriff FC stadium to allow me to buy a scarf. Definitely recommend!

Highly interesting tour with Karina

We can recommend the tour to Transnistria without reservation. It was highly interesting. Karina gave us an incredible number of impressions of her country and Wassili was a great driver. The lunch was also worth recommending without reservation. We would book again.
