Amazing tour carried in romanian - The tour was very interesting the guide definitely knows lots about the local culture and the small gimmicks about the places. We took our tour in romanian although we were quite familiar with the culture he adaptated and made a interesting tour for us with things that we didn’t know about the places

Medieval monastery and Farm - This was a very interesting tour with lots to see and do. Nicolai was such a good guide for us. He had lots of really interesting views and was very knowledgeable on the area in general. We had the best day with a visit to a beautiful farm and monastery with some fantastic food. Would highly recommend.

I Am Glad I Went - This is an easy day trip from Chisinau -- well worth it to get out of the city and into the countryside. My guide was knowledgeable and professional. We had free-ranging conversation during the drive to and from, and I appreciated the insights she shared as we did the tour of the old cave monastery and the "new" building monastery. I am glad I went.

I'm Glad I Went - Just right for a few hours. Elenora was professional and knowledgeable. It is not an "exciting" tour, but it is an excellent trip to get out of the city and to get a feel for the countryside. I enjoyed the walk through the village.

Best half day education ever! - I was in Moldova on business and grabbed a half day tour in the countryside before flying home. I learned a lot! Nicolei listened to what my interests were and deviated from the standard route a bit. I got a flavor of village life as we walked through one and saw how people actually live, while he explained how the political turmoils of the last century have (and have not) changed things. I enjoyed the farm, and the countryside. I have a much more complete perspective on Moldova than if I had just stayed in Chisinnau.

Orheiul Vechi with a Traditional Meal - Orheiul Vechi îs a beautiful spot in Moldova. The drive there was quite pretty and looking at the lands from the high points was beautiful. Interestingly enough, despite visiting dozens of Orthodox churches throughout the Balkans and the Caucasus, I have never seen a so-called "black" priest until this tour. The restaurant was pretty and yummy - the queens kompot was some of the best I have had. Nicolai is a very interesting and funny guy - out of all my Moldovan tour guides he had the most knowledgable answers to my questions.

Incredible experience from beginning to end - We had an incredible experience with this company and our guide from beginning to end. We emailed extremely last minute (less than 12 hours before our tour!) to see if there was any availability and Andrei went out of his way to schedule a guide for us. The tour itself was equally great. Our guide, Marcel, knew about all the local spots and customized our tour to hit things that were of interest to our group. I wish I was going to be in Moldova longer so we could go on more adventures he recommended! Would absolutely recommend this tour (and company!) to anyone interested in touring Moldova and plan to recommend it to all colleagues traveling here in the future.

Special tour! - I really satisfied with this tour with 2 points below. 1. The tour guide was very kind and the explanation of Moldova and the city was clear and interesting. Even I asked a lot, she answered me kindly . 2.For the farmhouse, I can deeply learned about the peasant in Moldova with farmhouse museum. If you are finished traveling the famous place or if you want to go the place people rarely go, I recommend you to take this tour. Thank you so much!!!

Great Trip - I took a tour with this group in November 2021 but I am slow to getting to my reviews- the trip was an excellent introduction to the Moldovan countryside! My guide Nicolina is an experienced tour guide with a lot of enthusiasm for her country and she showed me many great experiences beyond what I was expecting. I highly recommend the company to help see the country
