I would really like to recommend Nicolai to everyone who wants to experience Moldova in a proper way. Thanks to a great knowledge of Nicolai, you can learn about all the aspects of the country – history, current situation and what people have in their minds & hearts. Our entire trip went in a very positive and relaxed atmosphere. While sightseeing, we had an opportunity to discuss various topics – society, culture and history from different perspectives. After that trip, I have a feeling that I had a chance to really learn sth about Moldova – not only pure facts and figures. Additionally, Nicolai has various insights about not so well-known places – you will have a chance to visit very interesting spots, not mentioned in guidebooks. Moreover, you have a flexibility in terms of planning of the itinerary, but Nicolai will give suggestions what should be visited first. While Nicolai is fluent in both English and Russian, visitors from most of the countries could easily communicate. I also appreciate great responsiveness – we could smoothly plan everything in advance before our arrival to Chisinau.

Visiting Transnistria with this guy was probably the most exciting and interesting I've done for the past years. And I travel quiet a lot. The explanations Nicolai is giving is essential to understand what you are seeing. Usually I don't like guided tours but Nicolai was super. He have actual knowledge and can explain a lot of the history, culture, politics that you see /(what makes you wonder). All in all, I give my warmest recommendations for this guy, he is super! Det hele værd, ham her kan det hele, virkelig virkelig god!! I hope to return, Transnistria was interesting; yes, but the way Nicolai could explain and teach me history in a very nuanced way was very inspiring. Best regards Bjørn from denmark

I spent 4 days with Nicolai. He showed me the entire country of Moldova. I enjoyed seeing Gagauzia, Soroca, Orhei and Transnistria. But most of all, I enjoyed Nicolai and his knowledge, humor and kindness.

He has a few things that make him stand out 1) he is very enthusiastic and can talk about any subject 2) he presents a balanced and nuanced view of complex topics 3) he can easily and flexibly arrange any travel Without a doubt, he is top tier. Easy and informative to talk to, entertaining and flexible. 11/10 would recommend!

I went on a tour with Nicolai to Transnistria while visiting Moldova. It was the highlight of our visit because of how intellectually enriching the tour was thanks to Nicolai’s knowledge and passion for sharing his country’s history. Nicolai also included a Romanian tourist on our visit which he said would be helpful for us to learn on the tour from both a Moldovan perspective and Romanian perspective given their countries’ intertwined histories. Nicolai went above and beyond to try to help answer my naive questions about the region’s history. He pulled out maps from other tours he does to help explain things to me which was very helpful. Nicolai has a great sense of humor and by the end of the tour I felt like I connected with him as a human and not just as a tour guide. This all made for a very enjoyable experience. I highly recommend doing a tour with Nicolai. While I typically like to explore places on my own, it was extremely helpful to have someone who could speak the local language (in this case Russian, as English was not widely spoken). He also knew the process for crossing the border, exchanging money, where to take pictures and where not to, etc. I felt very safe on the tour as a result. We found Nicolai through Moldova Tours on Trip Advisor. The company was very professional and communicative via WhatsApp, and arranged a pickup at the location of our choosing.
