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. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my profile and I wish you happy travelling @Moldova and the region I graduated a 10 hour course on First Aid, certificate issued by Red Cross Society from Moldova. I am a translator and interpreter from English to Romanian and Russian and viceversa. I am also a member of the Association of Tour guides and Translators from Republic of Moldova.

Overview of your Chisinau tour

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.
