4.00A very nice day tour, when you can see all the highlights of the region. We have a very nice and super friendly guide Corina.
Nice tour outside of Chisinau

4.00It was a good tour - nice to travel outside of Chisinau. The first stop was a monastery complex which was very beautiful. The second stop was the monastery in the cave - there is an uphill walk and then stairs to walk down. Wear comfortable shoes. The landscape is very lovely. We then had lunch in a local place (separate cost) and the cheese pie was delicious. After there was an optional tour of Cricova. Make sure you take a hoodie or jacket as the tunnels are 12 degrees. Natalia our guide and Constantine our driver were great.

5.00We had a truly wonderful day exploring the beautiful sights of Moldova with Moldovatovisit&tours! Our guide, Marcel, was absolutely fantastic. He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and deeply passionate about Moldova's rich history. He brought the fascinating stories of Old Orhei and the spectacular cave monastery to life, making the entire experience deeply engaging and super fun. A huge thank you also to our driver, Vladilen! He did an outstanding job—the drive was extremely safe, smooth, and comfortable, which allowed us to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the gorgeous Moldovan countryside. From the stunning monasteries to the incredible Cricova wine cellars, the entire day was perfectly organized and ran like clockwork. If you want to experience the very best of Moldova, we highly recommend booking this tour with Marcel and Vladilen! Thank you both for an unforgettable day! 🍷☀️
A lovely tour to see Moldova's cultural and gastronomical heritage!

5.00A gem of an experience! For some reason, we were in a group of 4 which made the tour super personalized and at a calm pace. The guide shared informative bytes about the history, culture and heritage of Moldova linked to the sites visited. The visit to the cave sanctuary was wonderful. The Cricova winery seemed to be fully booked for a tasting at the last minute, but the tour was still informative. The coordination was managed well by the agency. The lunch was delicious and very local. Card payments were accepted at all destinations. Driving was safe and on time as per the plan.
Great experience

5.00We had a great day at our visit to Old Orhei. This was much because of our guide, Natalia. She told openly about the history of Moldova, but also about the current challenges in the country. And in addition, she is a very warm and friendly person.

5.00It’s my first trip to a country that is in Eastern Europe, I was a bit hesitant, but with Marcel and Liliya, everything was great! Although the weather was not perfect, Marcel did his best to ensure we would have a great experience. He got us coffee, took us to a traditional Moldovan restaurant, and he did his best. Note that he is a great multilingual! He knows Russian, Romanian, English, Italian, and even a couple of Arabic words! I would definitely recommend such an experience
