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

I always mention during my Chisinau Walking tours certain words and facts about the impact of the Jewish community had on Chisinau history and overall on Moldova. Little is known about Jewish history when in 1890 more than 45% of the Chisinau's population was Jewish. Then came the Chisinau Jewish Pogrom from 1903 that showed the world the hate some locals had over the Jewish population and then the hard times of WW2 when a Chisinau Ghetto of over 10, 000 Jewish people were formed. I do not pretend to be The Expert on the matter of Jewish history but during my time I had tourists with Bessarabian roots that discovered Moldova and Chisinau together with me, that is why this tour will introduce you to all the issues Jewish people had to face throughout time just because they were Jewish, and, nothing more. P. S. If you are interested in other places of Jewish heritage of Moldova please let me know.
