Nice tour to have a good view of Moldova - Very nice tour perfectly organized by Moldova tours. The wine caves are very impressive. The tour to Old Orheï gives a good view of Moldova landscape and cultural patrimony. The guide was very friendly and rich in explanations. I recommend.

Fabulous day in Moldova - I highly recommend Moldova Tours. Our tour guide, Slava, was the best of the best (and I have been around the world with many different your guides). He speaks English, Romanian, Russians fluently and I believe another language as well but most importantly, he is kind, knowledgeable and knows what to do when for his group. The tour itself was beautiful. The one surprise is the day beforehand they swapped vineyards but after drinking the other vineyards wine at a restaurant, I think it was for the best. Trust these people to lead you around Moldova even if you may not have quite planned for the itinerary change. They are experts and know what they are doing.

Discovery of Moldova - It was amazingly well organized tour. Specially the one agent which previously booked was overbooked and finally cancelled the tour so urgently 24 hours before we booked the tour. The driver/ guide was very nice and the tour guests were very friendly. It was nice to have very nice small group! Thank you so much! Cricova winery was very impressive and their wines are very tasty.

Couldn't recommend this more!! - I had the best time! I went as a solo female and felt completely safe. My guide, Valerii, was exceptional. He knew everything and took great care to show me the best spots. The Cricova wintery tour was incredibly unique and I'm so glad I could do this - I've never seen anything like it. Definitely recommend this full day trip!

Moldova - wonderful place to visit (Moldova Tours-Slava) - I left my hear in Moldova, the people, the food, the sightseeing and the wine was excellent. We took a full day tour of Chisinau with Moldova Tours (Slava). He arrived on time and the car was constable for 2 adult passengers. He spoke very good English (hard to find in Moldova). The tour best of Moldova was great. Visited the Orhei, had lunch at a local restaurant (farm to table) and the Cricova winery visit was spectacular (bring a sweeter or scarf, the underground tour temperature is 65F). Slava is very knowledgeable and courteous. I will give 5* to Moldova Tours. *Monastery on the Rock - caved on the maintain by hand is an small active Ortodox church and is a fascinating place to visit. (Note: woman must dress modestly and cover the hair). Tshirt and long pants is ok. to get there from the street you need to climb like 150-200 steps to get to the top.

Expensive for what you get - This tour is poorly planned, seeing all three places in one day felt very rushed. It was very hot so we did not appreciate being squeezed in the back of the car with a stranger. Three people squeezed in the back of a standard car is too many for a full day. No comfort. The places we visited were interesting with lots to see however, the tour guide was rushing us as we were running late to get to Cricova. The worst experience was him speeding all the way to Cricova so we didn’t miss our pre booked slot. I did not appreciate being put in danger by the guide. In addition, the guide was unprofessional expressing political views on Ukraine and Moldova to try and influence us.
