I had the pleasure of having Natalia as my guide when I was in Moldova. She is very friendly and nice person. Her knowledge about the country is fabulous and so is her interest in passing in passing it on to her guests. With her open mind she is excellent at paying attention to all guests and making them feel comfortable. I give Natalia my warmest recommendations.

I visited Gagauzia together with Natalia and it was a very pleasant day. She’s very professional and she knows the topic very well, but what is even more important, she loves her country and transmits this feeling through her services. Thank you Natalia.!!!

I don’t want to call Nataly a “travel guide “ , because she doesn’t just “guide” travellers, she makes travellers a part of the local. When travelling, I am always confident on my plan and research - therefore had never attempt the thought of travelling with a guide. But before my trip to Moldova, Nataly was recommended to me by a Moldovan friend - so I gave it a go. During the day with Nataly , I found out she’s not just a deeply knowledgeable guide. On top of that she is a long-time friend of everyone from security of parking lot, guides of Cricova winery, every single town person near the Orheiul monastery and THE cave monk…Because of this, the entire day I get to see how the locals interact, live and even talk to some of them. Nataly would tell me her history and story about those people, all of these for this additional rich experience would have been impossible without Nataly.

I have visited 57 countries in my life and usually try to get a full immersion into the countries I visit with the help of the local guide. Natalia comes 2nd to none as the person combining professionalism, deep knowledge on culture/ folk; history of her country, which is an amazing heterogeneous blend of cultures, ethnicities and traditions assembled in the respectful, inspiring manner; and a warm close personality with amazing principles she has. She has amazing empathy and can perfectly anticipate the needs of her clients at every moment to deliver an amazing unforgettable experience of her beloved country. We have been immensely lucky having her; the Internet reviews that lead us to her total of correspond to the actual amazing experience that she delivers. last but not least, she knows every person who is someone in the touristic area in Moldova and this greatly facilitate getting wine tours booked; smooth border crossing; sorting transportation; or just accessing any part of interest in the country in an optimal manner for her clients. What an amazing person and professional Natalia is!

I have used Natalia services as a tour guide on numerous occasions. My name is Steven Vangeli , I’m American from Florida, USA. Throughout the past years, I have made several trips to Moldova and someone had referred Natalia to me because of her excellent capabilities as a tour guide. I hired Natalia to show me Moldova and I can say she was an excellent tour guide. She was prompt and courteous and extremely knowledgeable about the destinations and the important landmarks. I would recommend her to anyone as her services as a tour specialist are excellent. I travel extensively in Eastern Europe and would not hesitate to hire Natalia again.

We had wonderful days in Moldova. Not only because of the sunny autumn weather, but especially because of the excursions with Natalia. She is the best tour guide imaginable: not only knowledgeable about Moldovan culture and history, but she also conveys her knowledge in an excellent and engaging way. She truly brought her country to life for us, withour any superficiality. We wholeheartedly recommend Natalia and also the careful driver Eduard.

Hemos tenido la suerte de descubrir Moldavia gracias a Natalia. Llegábamos con un plan de viaje sin cerrar y ella nos ha ayudado a cerrarlo, darle sentido y sentirnos tratados como en casa. No habla español, pero habla inglés perfectamente. Explicaciones de todo tipo sobre Moldavia, sus costumbres, su cultura, su historia. Puntualidad impecable y la sensación, a cada sitio que llegas, de que tiene todo controlado. En todos los lugares que acudimos nos dijeron que ella es la mejor y no puedo más que corroborarlo. Moldavia es un país fascinante para descubrir y romper el mito de que es el país más pobre de Europa y lo mejor es hacerlo con Natalia.

Ich habe Nataly Cojuhari für zwei ganze Tage als Guide gebucht. Am ersten Tag sind wir mit einem komfortablen Fahrzeug mit nettem Fahrer in das Eco-Resort Butuceni gefahren, wo Sie mit viel Sachkenntnis mir das Dorf, die Felsenkapelle und die Lebensweise erläutert hat. Aufgrund ihrer langjährigen Erfahrung kennt sie viele Dorfbewohner, den Mönch und auch den Restaurantbesitzer und ist so in der Lage auch Plätze zu zeigen, die sonst nicht zu sehen sind. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich ihre Geschichtskenntnis und der aus Liebe zu Ihrem Land begründete Enthusiasmus. Es wurde das Weingut Cricova besichtigt und auch hier gab es zusätzliche Informationen von ihr. Am zweiten Tag ging es nach Transnistrien, wo besonders ihr politisches Verständnis zusammen mit den Geschichtskenntnissen zu viel Aufklärung gesorgt hat. Nataly beeindruckt durch ihre Empathie und Ihren Humor. Sie geht auf die Wünsche ihrer Gäste ein und lässt keine Frage offen. Ich bin Ihr für die besonderen Eindrücke und Einblicke von der Republik Moldau sehr dankbar. Eine bessere Reiseführerin kann ich mir eigentlich nicht vorstellen. I booked Nataly Cojuhari as a guide for two whole days. On the first day we drove a comfortable vehicle with a nice driver to the Eco-Resort Butuceni, where you explained with a lot of expertise to me the village, the rock chapel and the way of life. Due to her many years of experience, she knows many villagers, the monk and also the restaurant owner and is thus able to show places that are otherwise not visible. I was particularly impressed by her knowledge of history and enthusiasm for her country. The winery Cricova was visited and also here there was additional information from her. On the second day we went to Transnistrian region, where knowledge of history provided much enlightenment. Nataly impresses with her empathy and humour, she responds to the wishes of her guests and leaves no question unanswered. I am very grateful to her for the special impressions and insights from the Republic of Moldova. I can’t imagine a better tour guide.

I had as our private guide a very charming lady Natalia. She showed us the best of Chisinau, the city where she was born and raised. During the tour with Natalia we walked across main parks with lots of trees. Our visit to Moldova was truly a great experience. I would definitely go back again and will call upon our wonderful guide Natalia … Until next time Moldova. Thank you!!

Upon arrival in Chisinau after a tiring flight Natalia brought the energy back into our group with her walking tour of the city. She shared a lot of information and interesting facts about Moldova's capital with us, and gave numerous tips for the rest of our tour. The stories Natalia shared, kept our group of Dutch travelers interested for 2 hours straight. Her English and her tone of voice are pleasant to listen to, and she shows a genuine interest in each of her customers. In our case, that meant relating to a group of about 15 people, ageing from 30 to 80! In short, Natalia is a highly professional, experienced and knowledgeable guide as well as a very kind person, which is a priceless combination.

Natalia is an excellent guide with a lovely personality. She spoke clearly and gave detailed explanations of all the points in her tours..She chose interesting local spots on the way and recommended places to eat and shop which we would not have known on our own..We really enjoyed our days and the tours with her in Moldova….Hope to see you again with other groups..All friends from the group sent you their best wishes.

We had a trip to Tiraspol which went very well. I was excited and pleased of the places visited, not only for the charm of these places, but also by the serenity and hospitality of the people from Tiraspol. However, the most important for us was our guide, Ms. Natalia, very well prepared, highly professional, very prudent in our needs, always available in our every requests. In addition, the transport services were efficient at best, with an excellent driver. I would like to recommend Natalia to all our Italian friends who intend to visit the Republic of Moldova.

Excellent and professional guiding, attentive and thoughtful care as well as great program. Thanks!

We had a wonderful experience with our guide Natalia in Transnistria. She was incredibly organized, knew the history inside out, and shared fantastic tips that made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. She also took us to places we would never have discovered on our own, which made the whole experience even more special. On top of her professionalism, she was warm, friendly, and truly a pleasure to be around. She left us with the impression of a genuinely lovely person. We’re really grateful for everything and would happily recommend her to anyone visiting the area.

I visited Moldova in October 2012 and spend 6 days in this wonderful country. My guide throughout my stay was Natalia who, along with driver Viktor, showed me the highlights of this delightful country. On the first day we had a tour of Chisinau and a visit to the Cricova winery with its extensive underground cellars – followed by a tasting of some of their wines. The wines were very good – clean, balanced and well-made with structure & true varietal character. Natalia also took me to the Moldovan Wine Festival in Chisinau – an excellent outdoors event staged at the Moldexpo exhibition centre. This festival includes local produce as well as wines – so I had the opportunity to try local delicacies as well more excellent Moldovan wine. On Day 3 we visited Tipova to see one of the oldest cave monasteries in the country and then on to the Orheiul Vechi to see a 15th century cave monastery and a museum with exhibits depicting the traditional ways of life in 19th century Moldova.. On Day 4 we went to Soroca and Pokrovka to visit a medieval fortress; the Candle of Gratitude monument and the Roma’ district that features in Tony Hawkes’ book “Playing the Moldovans at Tennis” (which I read when I got back to the UK). On Day 5 – and one of the highlights for me – we visited Gagauzia – which is just a wonderful name. Gagauzia is an autonomous region of Moldova. We visited the capital Comrat and explored the markets there and then went to the village of Besalma to visit the excellent Cioban National Gagauzian History and Ethnography Museum. Day 6 – and sadly my last – we went to Tiraspol, the capital of Transdniestrian region , self-proclaimed independent republic that has its own currency – a fascinating day as guide books lead you to believe you are stepping back into a 1950’s era Soviet land but Tiraspol is in fact a modern, friendly city – but they do speak Russian and use the Cyrillic alphabet. Throughout my visit to Moldova Natalia was the perfect guide – friendly without being invasive; informative and enthusiastic about Moldova but pragmatic enough to let you know what you are seeing and why and to make it even easier Natalia has flawless English. Not just fluent – but able to understand and converse using everyday nuances and idioms. Natalia gave me plenty of recommendations for dinner in the evenings and walking around Chisinau is perfectly safe and is quite a friendly city. I went to Moldova knowing next to nothing about it and came away very fond of the place. Natalia made the holiday interesting and fun – with little things like having lunch at a Russian Orthodox Old-Believers restaurant; taking me to see the statue of Baron von Munchausen in Tiraspol; naming the old Russian cars that I’d never seen before and pointing out the crows that leave the city at dawn to return to roost at sunset (which I found particularly fascinating). For anyone wanting to visit a charming, friendly country that is making its way in the world but not yet a major tourist attraction – then come to Moldova with Ways who know how to look after you and will show you the real Moldova so that while you won’t come away feeling like a native – you will come away with a genuine & lasting fondness for it. And if you are lucky enough to have Natalia as your guide then you will be in the best company!

In August 2023 I had the pleasure having Natalia Cojuhari as our travel guide for Moldova including Transnistria and Gagauzia. Natalia is a very pleasant, very educated and open minded person with a broad and deep knowledge about all aspects of her country including historical background, culture ,etc. Hard to ask her a question she cannot answer. She speaks perfect English and all languages necessary for communication in Moldova. The individual tour of 10 days was based on the proposed route elaborated by Natalia covering all places of interest possible to see in the short time availble. The car as well as the driver were selected by Natalia. The car was new and the driver was a very educated, pleasant and English-speaking person. Summary: Perfect organized, relaxed atmosphere, traveling with friends, could not be better - highy recommended !!!

Amazing tour, great day in Old Orhei natural reserve. Thank you , Natalia. You are the best. Cheers, Colin.

We went to Moldova and our guide- Natasha was absolutely amazing - loads of information and also very personable and interesting! We had fun.

Moldova is a small country, but it is a fascinating place to visit. I was greeted by warm, friendly Moldovan people everywhere we went. Seeing the country through the eyes and expertise of my Moldovan guide, Natasha, was a wonderful experience. She was outstanding. Her English is perfect, both spoken and written. Always warm and positive, she shared her wealth of knowledge of Moldova, its history, culture and customs. A highlight for me was lunch with a local family enjoying the traditional dish of Mamaliga with local wine followed by a group of girls singing traditional Moldovan folk songs and dancing. I was very lucky to get to join the dancing with our guide, Natasha. Another highlight for me was experiencing the vast underground wine cellar and wine tasting at Cricova Winery. I highly recommend visiting Moldova for a wonderful tour with Natasha as your guide. You will not be disappointed.

We recently toured Moldova with Natalia, as our guide. She truely made Moldova come alive with her thoughtful insights regarding the people, the country, and the history of the area. The thoughtful itinerary organized provided a wonderful mosaic, which included the vibrant capital Chisinau, delightful wineries, and beautiful Eastern Orthodox churches. A short stop in Transnistrian region as well as Gagauzia, provided a view of the county’s diverse culture. We can’t thank Natalia enough for her care, attention, depth of knowledge, and insights.

Our holiday to Moldova was very special due Natalia’s expert knowledge and assistance during all the time we were there. She worked so hard , and her passion and love for Moldova was expressed in her descriptions. We could not have had a better guide!

We spent few days in Moldova in October 2023 , and I must state - that trip was very successful. Natalia’s leadership was an important reason for this and she lifted all our expectation !!! Highly professional guide and bubbly person.

Best tour guide in Moldova. I recommend Natalia for anyone who visits Moldova in the future. Fun, Knowledgeable and co-ordinated, Natalia is well connected in Moldova.

It was really a pleasure working with Natalia during our trip to Moldova. It was really interesting to learn more about the country and Natalia was a perfect promoter of Moldova! I am really keen on coming back one day.

We were 5 guys from Norway that spent an oval weekend in Moldova. Natalia helped us with all the practical questions we had. She tailormade sightseeing for just the sights we had time to see and suited to our interests. As a person Natalia is warm and welcoming. Her knowledge of Moldova is extensive and she knows how to communicate it. Her English is excellent and she made the stay very easy and informative for us. We got a lot of tips to where we could eat and where to go when we were on our own, and she even helped us with booking the most interesting restaurants. 6 out of 5 stars :-)

Natalia was such a wonderful host, her cultural and historical knowledge of all aspects of the trip were incredible. Natalia was also personally very helpful at all times, making the visit to her lovely country an absolute pleasure.

I first contacted Natasha several months before my trip to Moldova to talk with her about a possible itinerary. She listened to my interests, took note of my mild disability and came up with a comprehensive itinerary at a reasonable price. From the moment she met me at my hotel with her beautiful smile, warm welcome and perfect English I knew I was in good hands. I didn't know what to expect of Moldova. What I discovered was a country of rich, complex and difficult history; beautiful countryside, many interesting memorials and autonomous regions that were fascinating. At times I felt I had travelled back in time. Moldova was clean, spacious and safe. I have travelled widely and I often use a private guide. Natasha is amongst the very best. Not only does she know her country and its history and culture extremely well, she listened to my interests, observed my responses and made sure she included things she knew I would enjoy. Some of the highlights were the sheer beauty of Moldova; visiting the carpet museum and meeting the owner and seeing her incredible passion as she spoke about her carpets and their design which included many she designed herself. Both Gagauziya and Transnistria were important places to visit. Having the privilege of visiting these unique, autonomous regions is something I will treasure. Our driver, Sami, was a delightful young man with a beautiful smile who drove us safely and with patience. I am so grateful to have had this time in Moldova. Natasha made it an exceptional experience. From the bottom of my heart I thank her for her warmth, kindness, thoughtfulness and honesty. I also thank her for her sense of humour and her friendship.

I wanted you to know that she was not only an excellent tour guide, who was full of interesting information about the places we went and everything else you want/expect from a tour guide, but she was also a hard-working, intelligent and caring member of our team. Without her skills, flexibility and perseverance, our trip would not have been as successful as it was. She really cares about her clients, and has the willingness and ability to make whatever need to happen, happen. She's just great.

My wife and I had four wonderful days with Natalia Cojuhari touring sunny Moldova including the wineries, monasteries, convents and Tiraspol . Natalia is a delightful woman with joyful enthusiasm, full of interesting information. I highly recommend her to everyone!

Natalia’s professional role as tour guide was truly exceptional and she should be very proud of this success. Our entire tour about Moldova - such as special memory!!! Moldova is a very special place to be treasured and carefully developed.

We certainly enjoyed traveling about Moldova with Natalia - our excellent guide. She made our trip very interesting with all the knowledge she shared about her country and its people. We especially appreciated her letting us have a glimpse of family background which gave us an additional understanding of life in Moldova - now and in the past.

I had my trip in Moldova from 7-13 February 2024. In one word: wonderful. The trip was very well organised and planned. Natalia is very knowledgeable, interactive and cheerful. It was a pleasure to be together in the car, enjoying her energetic conversation and entertainment and the beautiful landscape. I was happy to note that we all shared the same standards: being on time, polite, interested and committed. It was also wonderful to make all those great visits to interesting places and most of all to the four wineries, Cricova, Chateau Vartely, Purcari and Milesti Mici. I returned home as a lover of Moldovan wine. I am afraid that I have nothing negative to say. I can’t give her any suggestion for improvement. For me the visit was perfect. And as I have promised I will return to Moldova one day. Moldova is worth a good second visit.

I'm very glad that I did that trip with Natalia to Transnistria as it was an unforgettable experience. Thanks.

My husband and I took a guided tour to parts of eastern Europe in October 2023. Since we were already over there, we decided to visit Moldova on our own. Finding a guide in an unfamiliar country can be tricky but we were very lucky in our choice of Natalya Cojuhari! Natalya speaks perfect English and knows her country - history, geography, food, wine, sights. We lunched in small villages that we would not have known about on our own. We met a hermit monk who lives in a cave. And we tasted some wonderful wines. We enjoyed Natalya's stories and humor and energy. We highly recommend her for her expertise and friendly personality. If one day we return to the lovely country of Moldova, we will definitely ask Natalya to guide us again.

Thank you Natalia for your brilliant guiding, you have it just right. A different part of Moldova, customs and history every day until we had the complete picture. have told our friends about Moldova , how wonderful country it is.

Our guide, Natalia, took us to Tiraspol. Since we were a small group, everything was organised quickly and efficiently, without wasting time. This allowed us to make the most of the day. She ensured we could experience attractions that wouldn’t be possible with a larger group of twenty people. Natalia clearly loves her work; she’s knowledgeable, educated, and dedicated. She presented the history of her country in a clear, concise way, so even those unfamiliar with the topic could grasp the key points. In short, she’s a passionate guide with a calling—an amazing person.

I travelled Moldova with Nataly in April 2025. From the very first Email contact to the very end of the journey that we together worked out together, Nataly proved to be a truly outstanding guide. Her deep knowledge of the rich Moldovan history and diverse cultures, her balanced understanding of local politics in the challenging geopolitical context, her excellent network in the tourist industry and above all her bubbly and friendly personality made the trip one of the best I ever was privileged to experience. I can only express my deepest appreciation for an unforgettable journey.

No dudes en hacer esta excursion a Transnistria. Natalia es una guía excelente que te explicará en español todos los detalles históricos y culturales de la visita y además te facilitará cualquier detalle que puedas necesitar, desde dónde comprar un sello y una postal, hasta ayudarte a elegir lo mejor del menú en el restaurante. La excursión se hace muy fácil y con total seguridad. No te puedes ir del país sin conocer esta zona.

I contacted Natalia because we had only 1 day to visit Tiraspol. I have to say that we were very satisfied with the day tour. She proposed a program, which was great and was happy to add a few other small visits I had in mind. Thanks Natalia and good luck for the future!
