The best guide ever - The trip to Chisinau-Cricova with departure from Iasi was unexpectedly beautiful! First of all, we had a fantastic communication with our guide George, who picked us up from the location, and we received a beautiful description of the history of the places we passed! Chisinau particularly impressed us as well as our dear George who is a professional in the art of speaking, we learned more from him than in the history books. Arrived in Cricova, the living and the prompt and well-organized way made us feel good and especially the way the wines were presented at the tasting. The day ended with a short trip to the Capriana monastery, where we left with an overflowing energy and a wonderful landscape between borders!

Company provides solutions to problems, good itinerary. - Small blip, no tour guide available but Rolandia provided me with a very pleasant driver. Great sights. We actually visited Milestii Mici winery instead of Cricova. Thank you for ensuring I could make it to Moldova! It was great to see a snapshot of another country on my tour of Eastern Europe! Thank you :)

Great trip, exceeding expectations! - A great trip. A brilliant guide who was very knowledgable and enthused. Due to it being a very small group we got to chat more generally about travelling which was great. The tour exceeded expectations and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting to see some of Moldova.

very informative tour - The guide has good knowledge of history and culture. Great is not just seeing scenes, but also gaining knowledge of the history, culture and people of the country. The 34 miles long underground wine storage in the winery is particularly impressive.

Fantastic trip with a superlative tour guide - From the moment we were picked up by our tour guide we felt at ease. Everything ran like clockwork and our guide was friendly and informative throughout the day. All the activities were enjoyable but the highlight was the trip to the winery. A brilliant day with a great guide!

MOLDOVA : RESPONSIBLE AND EFFICIENT SERVICES - TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS AGENCY. IMMEDIATE RESPOND AND EFFICIENT. Took this trip from Iasi, Romania on 5th August 2022. The whole experience from the start till the trip was excellent. Mico from Rolandia who help me organize the trip was efficient. I had poor respond / delayed respond from other tour agencies i contacted. This was not the case with Mico. Everything was arranged smoothly and immediate respond. Lulian, my tour guide was marvelous. He was so knowledgably and enthusiastic to answer all my questions. He kept me comfortable throughout the the whole journey. A big hats off to Lulian. Moldova despite what has being said, it is still safe, peaceful, calm and beautiful country to visit.
