I (Gloria) am a native Moldovan who has a unique perspective on providing tours. I believe in giving more than just the historical facts. I give you special pleasant surprises that others have not taken the time to discover. Often times, this adds a human touch to the historical aspect.
My education was mainly in Moldova but I did attend the University of Georgia (in the US as an exchange student). I have over three years of experience, conducting and guiding tours. I have given a variety of tours which attests to my versaltility and knowledge. My tours include historical, diplomatic, literary, and food and wine tours (Bon Appetit Tours). I also conducts specialty tours into Transnistria.
Last but not least, I can offer my services of being just a tour guide that can accompany you or your family and friends in your rental car.
I also have the availability of a private minivan available for 8 places+driver in good running condition and with AC.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my profile and I wish you happy travelling @Moldova and the region

A walking and a car tour of Soroca city, the capital of Roma/Gypsy community.

Discover Soroca

This tour offers one to visit a country that is not officially recognized as a country. If you ever wondered how people lived in the old Soviet Union, you can now experience some of that by visiting Transnistria.

It is a region that was once part of the Moldova but when the old Soviet Union collapsed, this region did not want to be independent from Russia and after a four month bloody civil war in 1992, a cease fire was negotiated.

The situation has still not been resolved but there has been no fighting and the peace has held for a couple of decades, now.

Transnistria - Back in the USSR full day tour

Chisinau is a city with a long and changing history. Its geographic location in the midst of powerful nations has frequently changed the culture depending on which nation was ruling here. Today, Chisinau is the capital of a former Soviet Republic but still retains some segments of its past history. This creates Chisinau's unique personality we see, today.

The tour points out the changes one sees in building design, street names, the impact of Chisinau's famous citizens and significant changes in religious buildings and the relies culture. The historical military and political battles that shaped the city will also be discussed. Many of which, still have an impact on Moldova and Chisinau, today.
