Operators have paid Viator more to have their experiences featured here
Transnistria is a must place to visit if you are interested in the history of the USSR in Moldova. This "dissident republic" is still politically and economically aligned with Russia and feels very different from other parts of Moldova. Visit the town of Tighina with its medieval fortress, Chitcani and its religious complex, and Tiraspol with its Soviet architecture. As this is a private tour, you can ask plenty of questions throughout the tour and enjoy a more personalized experience.
- Discover the history of the USSR in Transnistria and its pro-Russian identity
- See monuments dedicated to Soviet architecture and Lenin
- Travel between sites with ease in a private vehicle
- Enjoy undivided attention from the guide on this private tour

Great tour with Nicolai!

Nicolai was an awesome guide! We had such a great time with him. He enlightened us a lot with his deep knowledge of history, local traditions etc.
This tour is a must if you visit Moldova.
Great trip

a very "different" tourist experience
Peter_M
, Aug 2021
This a definitely a very "different" tourist experience - you can rarely visit a little know breakaway republic tucked away in a forgotten corner of Europe. This was a private tour and was very good - we think we got a feel for the place. Gloria took us through all the main sites - not just the USSR nostalgia ones, but also a monastery and an Ottoman fortress
Andrian was awesome , great tour

Excellent trip
Andrian the tour guide was awesome
Knew all the best hidden parts of Transnistria to make the trip all the better and memorable
Very professional
Very organised
One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen and felt I got a lot more value from the day than I paid
Absolutely unique travel experience

Transnistra is an absolute one off: nothing quite like it. Andrian knows this place well, navigating both sides of the border and the delicate space in between. I'm grateful to him and Catalina for a day of adventure I'll never forget.
Moldova, Tag 2/2
Jens_H
, Sep 2021
Wenn man nur 2 ganze Tage in Moldova zur Verfügung hat, muss man natürlich gut auswählen, und so entschied ich mich bei Tag 2 für diese Tour... :) Bei schönstem Wetter von Guide Maria am Hotel abgeholt, ging es auf dieser individuellen Tour nun zurück in die Vergangenheit und in eine gefühlt völlig andere Region... :O Dabei gab es unterwegs sehr viel wissenswertes zu erfahren und es konnten jede Menge Eindrücke gesammelt und Fotos geschossen werden... :D War ein super Tag; vielen Dank an Maria & Agency... :)
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
