Incredible day
Roxy is a very knowledgeable guide with a lot of insight into her country's history as well as recent developments. I learned a lot of new things during our day in Transnistria although I had read numerous articles about the region beforehand. The tour was still very relaxed and there was no feeling of being rushed or overwhelmed by the amount of information. Roxy also did great job adjusting to our wishes. If you plan visiting Moldova, Transnistria must be high on your list of attractions. Your country's foreign ministry might disagree but at least with a skilled local guide who can speak Russian, you will have no problems at the border and the area itself feels extremely peaceful and safe.
Transnistria Tour
private guide to Transnistria just like a local- recommended
Following booking the tour The guide (Roxy) made arrangements to meet on the day of the tour. The guide was helpful and informative throughout the day. From Chisinau, we travelled on local busses to Transnistria which was an authentic experience. After the border (passport is needed) there was a stop at Bender to look round the fortress. We the. Took a trolley bus to Tiraspol - the guide showed the main buildings/ sights. The guide was knowledgeable about getting about and helped with currency exchange/ language. Very good and enjoyable tour
Transnistria Tour
Just like it should be !
Chisinau is not the prettiest of all Eastern European cities, but Roxy Love managed to offer me a very interesting tour. And there are beautiful spots in Chisinau, I confirm !
During the walk she told many stories from the Soviet times as well as from during the independence of Moldova.
The way Roxy Love offered her tour was just like it should be, I fully enjoyed it.
And not a detail : she speaks English to perfection (she lived several years in London).
Summary : I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chisinau.

Geat tour to Transnistria with Roxy!
When you are on the "road to Moldova" be sure to book a tour with Roxy! It more feels like you are traveling with a friend than a tour guide, which is great!
We went to Transnistria by public transport which gives a more authentic feeling and i felt very safe with her. If you prefer to go with a car, then she van arrange it also. Thanks Roxy!

A must do
The best way to explore and love Chișinău. Roxy is very knowledgeable, pleasant and friendly and speaks English fluently. After booking, she asked if we had any special requests, which was very nice. We took the 3 hour city tour, but everything is possible. Just ask!

An unforgettable trip with a great guide
We have wanderlust but still, some destinations are a bit scary! The breakaway Transnistria was definitely one of them! We need not have worried- our guide Roxy took us through everything. We breezed through the border checkpoints, thanks to her inside knowledge. She made sure we had everything prepared and straight after, we were brought to the lovely fortress in Bender. We told Roxy we wanted to sample life in Soviet times and we certainly got it! From the Soviet canteen to the great local market, a hairdresser whose salon hadn’t changed since perestroika and glasnost were only glints in the Politburo’s eye! Tiraspol was superb, Roxy brought our visit to life and answered all our questions. Our cameras clicked away at the numerous Lenin statues and obvious Soviet architecture. A wonderful experience led by a truly magnificent guide!

Unique with a capital U
This place is the strangest country I've ever been to...so much so, it's not even a country. It's hard to get your head around it, but if anyone can help you to understand, it's Roxy.

Passionate, knowledgeable and with near perfect English, Roxy provided hundreds of insights into both the history and daily life in this frozen conflict zone.

Most moving were her own family's stories of life under the Soviets. Her education as a documentary maker has given her a storytelling ability that leaves a powerful impression.

She has a well planned and paced itinerary for a one day tour. For us, the highlight was lunch in a Soviet- style canteen that was so perfectly preserved, it was like a step back in time.

I can't give enough stars to Roxy for this tour - it was as unique as the place itself. Thanks Roxy.

Highly Recommended.
Moldova is not the top of the tourist list, there is no grand cathedral or castle. But it is the local people that make Chisinau the place that everyone should visit. It is a destination that perfectly fits the like a local vision of tourism and the guided tour provided by Roxana perfectly fits this model. She will take you through the lovely parks, on an old trolley bus, to a lake where locals promenade in the evening and to a place where you can try Moldavia's food and excellent wine. Also she will answer your question on Moldova and life in this country. I took the tour on my first day and it launched the rest of my stay. Roxana was also able to offer advice on transport for my subsequent days.

Great way to get an intro to Chisinau!
Roxy took us to the highlights of Chisinau, as a good tour guide would, but she also took us to some spots where the locals hang out and had some cool stories about how people spend their time, how creatives make their art, where protests happen (and why), and some bits of the history of Moldova that you might not hear from someone who doesn't have her unique and worldly perspective. Roxy was a great guide, and I can't recommend her highly enough--if you're on the fence about coming to Moldova, get off that fence and onto a plane, train, bus, or whatever. It's a hidden gem of Europe with loads of stories to tell (and wine to drink).

Great experience - there's nowhere quite like Transnistria!
Roxy was a great tour guide--she brings a ton of local knowledge and history, but also has an international perspective on the peculiarities of Transnistria and its history, politics, and culture. You won't find another place in Europe quite like this, and Roxy will help you experience it like a local (as much as possible, anyway)! Ride on local transportation, see the markets, and try the nostalgic Soviet cuisine. This was a real highlight of our travels. Thanks, Roxy!

Good experience, informative guide
Roxy took me to Transnistria using the local public transport system and took me around all the local areas.

Since you're likely to end up in a small group or just with Roxy, the tour is very personalised to what interests you the most.

I recommend it since Moldova doesn't get many tourists and getting around might be not as easy as other nearby countries :)

Great tour and guide
Overall the tour was very interesting and we learned a lot. Apart from the more expected sights we were also shown some more unusual places, which I obviously don't want to spoil here. We can really recommend the tour. Doing it with public transport gives it a more authentic feel, too. Plus: lunch was also really good and insanely cheap.

Very down to earth and knowledgeable guide
Roxy did a great job organizing all transport with different busses and trolleybusses and showed the highlights of Bender and Tiraspol. A great place for lunch and plenty of time to walk around and ask a lot of questions.

Excellent tour with a friendly, interesting and knowledgeable guide
The tour was a highlight of our trip. Well organised and informative. Roxy arrived at our hotel and was fantastic throughout the day, sorting everything out. I cannot recommend her and the tour highly enough.
