Transnistria has preserved a lot of Soviet monuments, equipment, attractive places and facts that will be interesting for everyone to learn. Visiting Transnistria is like traveling on a time machine – not much has changed there since nowadays. The cities of Bender and Tiraspol, keep many soviet monuments, with a specific architecture. You should come to Transnistria especially if you’re from a country that was never a part of the Soviet Bloc or controlled by it. It will help you understand what the daily reality was like for millions of people in the Soviet Union. You’ll visit practically almost fully conserved ‘museum’ of Soviet times. Depending on the number of bookings, sometimes the tour could be private or shared with small groups, up to 8-10 people. But from our experience most of our groups are 3-4 or 5 people.

The tour company was very responsive, and Marcel was an excellent guide on this truly memorable day trip. He checked-in with me through out the trip, making sure he adjusted the day to my interests. Marcel provided excellent local knowledge expertise, from the best time and place to exchange money to stopping for lunch. He was very knowledgeable about all of the nuances of Transnistria, which really added great context to the journey. We left Chisinau at 09:00 and were back by 18:00.
