4.9(238)Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 238 reviews2 h 30 minFree cancellationBy Anton Dendemarchenko
Supreme Soviet and back of 50 pridnestrovian roubles banknote. Transnistria tour by Anton Dendemarchenko. Welcome to Pridnestrovie, we make cognac not war ☭

About this activity

I do postcards with my drawings and budget tours to top attractions and hidden gems of Pridnestrovie. Transfer from Chishinau or start in Tiraspol. Honestly, I can’t make Maldives of my country, because it is not Maldives. But i can make an unforgettable journey through all contrasts of what it really is - beautiful panoramas and impressive soviet relics, curious history and nowadays life in the country that doesn't exist, combining classic walk with forays for true explorers and adventurers.

Tour takes ~ 2,5 hours. It is not Stalinism, we are very volatile where to go and what to do, but default route covers must-see USSR era and modern bits of Tiraspol, plus my favorite nooks and crannies that I discovered doing my sketches. The trip won’t be exhausting, not boring at all, we will have time to talk about all peculiarities of past and present of Transnistria, real name is Pridnestrovie ☭

You won’t be meeting a guide, you will be meeting a friend!
