The best day in Moldova - We had one day in Moldova and decided to spend it with Moldova tours. We visited Milesti Mici winery, walked around Old Orhei, stopping for an incredibly authentic lunch as well as visiting Curchi Monastery. This was the best trip and Ecaterina was an amazing tour guide. It was the best fun and the best way to see the highlights of the country in one day! Thank you for the best day!

Not to be missed - This was an excellent tour. Slava gave me an excellent tour of the monasteries and then organised everything at Cricova and the wine there was exceptional considering the seriously low prices.

A beautiful day out - I did two tours with Moldova Tours during my stay in Chişinău, and both of them were spectacular. The Transnistria tour is great for history and geopolitics, but I also think this tour is really important if you want to dive into Moldovan culture. Slava was an excellent guide, clearly knowledgeable and super friendly. There were 8 of us on the minibus so we had plenty of space. These aren’t like most guided tours where they drop you off and tell you to be back at the minibus by a certain time. Instead, Slava walked through each of the attractions with us and explained everything to us in detail. The wine tour at the end has its own guide as well and we got to try two sparkling wines, one white wine and one red wine. Overall we had a lovely day out and I highly highly recommend Moldova Tours in general!

A trip to the unforgatable - I’d liked everything but the Cave Monastery is fabulous. Old Orhei is a must. Cricova is unique. The guide ( Slava ) is more than 5 stars.

Great opportunity to see countryside - We booked the trip to get to know the countryside. It was a great combination. Very nice and professional guide with excellent English. We combined the countryside and winemaking. Even though we don't drink alcohol at all it was very interesting for us. I recommend

Absolutely YES - Our FANTASTIC personal guide! On the tour we had CRICOVA planned but it was not possible to visit it due to a problem in the cellar. However we were asked to exchange it for a visit to another winery (Castle Mimi) but the wine tasting there was only with breadsticks, no food planned instead at the CRICOVA winery. Our guide then granted us a 'wonderful extra that we will never forget!!!
