Go far beyond the usual sights of Tiraspol and discover the rarely visited south of Transnistria. This private tour connects six villages and small towns in one journey, revealing Soviet rural life through monumental mosaics, unusual statues, collective-farm architecture, and forgotten political symbols.

See the Vostok rocket and oversized Lenin in Sucleia, a hidden mosaic bus stop in Caragash, and dancing collective farmers in Slobodzeya. Explore Chobruchi, once developed as an exemplary collective-farm village, with its sculptures, historic tractor, Palace of Culture, and monuments to farmers and space exploration. Contrast this rural world with Dnestrovsk, a Soviet energy town dominated by Prometheus and monumental mosaics. Finish in Nezavertailovca, where Karl Marx still stands outside an abandoned collective-farm administration.

Travel by private car with a local guide and hear the stories behind places most foreign visitors never see.
