High-class guided tour of Gagauzia - One of the best and most informative tours I have ever done. Nicolai, an intelligent and historically skilled leader, himself from Gagauzia, is an interesting conversation partner who has been able to introduce me to the country in all its facets.

guide from gagauzia itself - knowledgeable guide well versed in the area's history as well as the country's geopolitical/economic context. Nikolay himself was from gaughazia. i enjoyed the trip a lot - at the same time do set your expectations right before going on this tour. the things you will appreciate will be a lot more subtle than say other tours in modolva. in terms of sights you will get to see the countryside a lot. gaughazia itself is full of soviet statues and murals. the real thing to be on the lookout for is really the complexity of the social context and demography. and how it contrasts chisinau.

A unique place, off the tourist trail - Taking a guide to visit Gagauzia is certainly a good idea, without, difficult to find and access points of interest, or to see and understand the differences with the rest of Moldova. Nikolai was a very good guide, knowing the area perfectly, with very good topic of conversation.

Interesting stories, nice... - Interesting stories, nice landscapes, good food&wine ! Mansion was closed as being Monday, however we have been compensated by visiting an amasing wooden church - like in a fairytale - and also an authentic lunch. Corneliu was flexible to get the best out of the tour!

I’m so happy I’ve done this!!! - I really enjoyed visiting the Manuc Bei’s mansion and Gagauzia. Of course I could have driven a car and visit those places by myself, but my guide made the actual difference and talked through anything we visited. Not only my guide was knowledgeable and driven by an outstanding passion towards his country, but also proved to be open to assess issues from various angles, and talk through them.

Do not miss Gagauzia! - Our guide showed us around Manuc Mansion and Gagauzia. He was very friendly, knew a lot and made us laugh. The area is very interesting and Gagauzia is a must-see. Would definitely recommend this tour and Moldova Tours to other travellers visiting Moldova.
