Hello, dear traveler! 🙂 Moldova, ah?! - Well, most of your friends don't even know where is Moldova, so you are already doing the right step to discover this small and unique Eastern-European country! - Listen, I am not the best Moldovan tour guide, but I always try to do my best, so our visitors can eventually return home with some good memories about my country! Why is that important to me? - First, because personally, I clearly share your passion for traveling. The world seems to be a very big and fascinating place, and yes, the best time to travel is now! - Second, I do believe in good people and consider that nothing is more important than a nice, friendly communication between a tour guide and a traveler. - Moldova is not a touristy country at all and we don't have here super-famous crowded attractions to visit, but who said Moldova has to have those, right? Sometimes you just want a peaceful area to enjoy the quietness or a relaxing drive to some undiscovered spots in the middle of nowhere! Moldova is perfect for that: less commercial and more authentic. - So, I am a Russian-speaking Bulgarian from Turkish-speaking Authonomy of Romanian-speaking Moldova, leading tours in English! I know, it is mindblowing, but hey, it is Eastern Europe here, so most of people are like this. We are as blessed with this impressive diversity, as cursed. - I love my country, its history, its past, and the hard-working and kind people of course. At the same time, I always try to be as realistic and direct as possible, showing Moldova as it really is. I graduated from the Faculty of History and since that time - I am guiding people throughout Moldova for 8 years and feel great! Being quite a simple person - I really appreciate kindness, empathy, simplicity, and openness in people. I know for sure, that every country hides some undiscovered "treasures", and my Moldova does too! So, let's explore them together! - I have Master's Degree in History. - Best student of University. - Driving a 7-seat Toyota Prius. - Guiding for 8 years, as my main job. Love it! Come to visit Moldova! Be our Guest! 🙂

    I have traveled to over 100 countries, often with a guide. Nicolai may be literally the best guide I have ever had. It was an absolute pleasure to spend two days with him and learn so much about his country, the psychological consequences of the breakup of the Soviet Union, and so much more. Nicolai has a master's degree in history, loves statistics, and has both a high...

    This was an incredible tour with Nicolai. He tailored the tour to my interest in exploring family history in Bessarabia. He was flexible and collaborative in planning our route, before and during the tour . I appreciated Nicolai's extensive background in history, his passion for photography, and his ability to teach me about his homeland, along the way. He enabled me...
