Nicolai was an incredible guide - doing serendipitous stops that really showed the color of Southern Moldova and Gagauzia. He not only showed the cities and towns we visited, but took the care to fully and comprehensive talk about the sociology and history of Moldova along with psycho-social cultural and behavioral patterns of different regions. Absolute 10/10, totally recommend.
