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! 🙂

Overview of your Chisinau tour

I often see local guides, from all over the world are trying to show the best their cities have: the most beautiful buildings, well-kept parks, impressive monuments, and so on. But not me! Visiting the most "luxury" places, you will never feel the real "heartbeat" of the town. Of course, I will show you the Central Boulevards of Chisinau with all our monumental buildings, museums, and theatres, but then I will lead you to the places, which will never appear on tourist maps. It is amazing, but Chisinau is a city that can easily surprise you, it is enough to take some steps out of noisy streets and then find yourself in a village, that Chisinau was hundreds of years ago. Our capital still has a "soul", it is hidden somewhere in those quiet, narrow, and green streets. These "hidden treasures" can be seen everywhere: in a giant flea market, in an abandoned massive Soviet factory, in an old church, in some quiet parks, and in green streets. So, let's explore them together!
