5.00Asya was extremely flexible with requests and did her upmost to provide me with an authentic experience. She went the extra mile ensuring that I tasted Kvas - just for me - bought in a super market and I was impressed with her historical knowledge. She was also kind. I really encourage you to book a tour with her. From Dominic (London)

5.00Good variety and fun staff. The guide was knowledgeable and still left some ‘alone’ time for people to explore on their own. Great for people looking to see alot in a short time.
A Great Time to be Had

5.00Asya was an informative and engaging guide, and old Orhei and the Cricova winery were fascinating places to visit. I was lucky to be able to join a group with other English speakers, and we had fun with Asya and the enigmatic Alex (Sasha). I can highly recommend.

5.00Moldova is a beautiful country. Asya was absolutely amazing tour guide, very caring and kind. I was travelling with my elderly parents, Sacha the driver picked up us straight from our hotel. There are a lot of stops included within the itinerary, plus local food and tea tastings which were really good. We really enjoyed the tour and would gladly recommend to others who visit Moldova.
A tour that I recommend without hesitation

5.00Really very nice and suggestive experience. I found myself very well with both the guide (whose name unfortunately I can’t remember) and the owner of the agency who accompanied us during the tour to Old Orhei and Butuceni. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of interesting things along the way. The owner, speaking Italian, helped me a lot with the translations, since I don't speak very good English, still allowing me to enjoy the tour without difficulty. Excellent organization: punctuality, respect for the schedule and great availability throughout the day. An experience that I absolutely recommend.
Day trip to Old Orhei

5.00I had an absolutely outstanding day trip to Old Orhei with Travel Moldova Agency on 21/01 and cannot recommend it highly enough. My guide, Asya, was truly exceptional and a real credit to her company. She is incredibly friendly, highly knowledgeable, and communicated everything brilliantly. My driver, Sasha, was equally excellent, and I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the journey. The scenery is breathtaking, the churches wonderfully peaceful, and I learnt so much about Moldovan history and culture. The clifftop monastery, in particular, was spectacular. The food was also lovely – I recommend trying the polenta with sheep’s cheese and sour cream. Coffee at Epoca de Piatra, the cave restaurant, was a unique experience, too. An unforgettable experience from start to finish – highly recommended!
