This was a fascinating day that truly showed off the history and unique situation of Transnistria! My guide, Ecaterina, was incredibly knowledgeable and immediately friendly and approachable, and she is fluent in English, Romanian, and Russian, so anyone travelling with her in Moldova is in safe hands in terms of communication! From the outstandingly well-preserved Bender Fortress to the Soviet-era monuments out of time that exist in Tiraspol, this trip showcases exactly what makes this place unlike anywhere else you’ve probably ever been!
I want to add also that there was initially a slight mixup with my booking, and the company manager was incredibly professional and courteous, and offered me a full refund and to still take the tour free of charge - I couldn’t believe the kindness!
