The first look on Liliya promised fantastic trip.Our guide informed us about history and today of Moldova.During whole trip she drove very good.Thanks to her we visited Cricova Winery at first day of Days of Wine(for private visitors admission was imposible).After wine tasting and making pictures we were on Old Orchei where Nina was a guid of our 4 .After sightseeing we ate dinner in Eco Restaurant.Final point of our excursion was another wine cellar. I highly recommend Liliya as guide and Moldovatovisit&tours

The program was the best option for a short stay visitor of 02 nights. The program schedule was very compact and gives a birds eye view and experience in a span of 07 hours from start snd end point. The Chisinau City tour allowed me to get up and close to the historic and valuable sites within the town. This was paired with a ride on the publlic transport called a trolley bus wherein the professional and highly educated guide Ms. Janna was glad to share. However I suggest an entry visit to a museum in a city to be included in the program for a more cultural experience, and some time for souvenir shopping. The second part of the tour can be considered as the highlight due to its historical and archaeological importance. The drive from the city to the old orhei complex was very smooth. This was supplemented with a breath taking hike and amazing panoramic views, moreover a religious site on the top was the bonus. Ms. Lilia the energetic and jolly guide made sure every fact was shared to the guest. Overall it was the most satisfying and amazing experience to not be missed while in chisinau, Moldova.

On this trip, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Old Orhei and sightseeing in Moldova. In Old Orhei, I experienced traditional Moldovan life. I enjoyed Moldovan food and wine. During our city tour, I enjoyed the beautiful city of Chişinău. At the Presidential Palace we happened to meet the President walking her dog. My guide Lilia was very nice. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Moldova and taught me a lot. I was very satisfied with this tour.
Awesome guided Moldovan experience

I did both the Chisinau city tour with Orhei excursion, as well as the 9 monasteries tour with this company. Each took up a full but productive and enjoyable day. Igor and wife Lilia were a delight. Both very nice people, so the experience felt more like being with good friends than just guides. Both were private tours, so I could proceed at my own pace. Lots of information given. I highly recommend going with this company if you’re ever in Moldova. I visited Transnistria with a different company and later wished that I had done it with this one instead.

For the Chisinau part of the trip we had a guide who walked with us and talked us through history and culture for a few hours. For the trip out of the city effectively we had a driver rather than a guide. Still an enjoyable day, but perhaps not as some would expect
