    Our private tour with Moldovan Guides was fantastic, our guide and driver Christian was very friendly and helpful, provided water and snacks and told us the history of this amazing country. Visiting Old Orhei and Curchi monasteries were a great experience. Christian took us to a very special restaurant call Época de Pietra which is a restaurant inside a cave, food was delicious and the service was great. On our way back to Chisinau Christian went out of his way to take us to another site not included in our tour. We really enjoyed our day on our tour and will advice anyone visiting Moldova to do it.
