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! 🙂

Gagauzia - is a steppe region in the south of Moldova, populated by a unique Gagauz ethnic group. What Turkish speaking population from Bulgaria doing in Moldova? It is a very interesting and complicated question, which can be only understood by visiting the area. Nowadays, Gagauzia is an agricultural region, populated by hard-working and hospitable people, who were fighting for their Autonomy in 1990. but always remained peaceful and intelligent. First, we visit Manuc Bey Castle, which is on the way to Gagauzia. The local guide will show us a big Manor house, its underground galleries, and quite unique museum. After Manuc-Bey we continue our drive to the South - heading to Komrat, the capital of Gagauzia. Well, don't expect to see big luxury buildings, but interesting Gagauz history and cultural spots are guaranteed! The whole picture of Gagauzia will give us also Besalma and Avdarma villages. This tour is about culture and history and as I am from Gagauzia - I invite you to explore my homeland together.
This is a suggested itinerary and can be customized upon request - We start from Chisinau, driving through a very nice modern road. - We stop by Manuc Bey Castle and "diving" into its history. - Komrat - is about 40 minutes from Manuc-Bey where we take pictures at the entrance of the region. A relaxing walk will help us understand the unique history of Gagauz people. - Eventually, the "highest" point of the day is the authentic villages as Avdarma, Besalma, and Kongaz. - A traditional Gagauz meal - will be the tastiest part, before our drive to Chisinau.
