City tour with an English-speaking guide
This tour is based on your interests. We can show you the Soviet aspect of this city as much as its museums, monuments, parks, bars or even its deeply human face with a visit to the large central market.
We will also tell you about the Moldovan way of life, its culture, its customs and its political system. The goal is that you have a fun, informative and relaxed time.
* Reservation required 48 hours in advance with our travel agency.
