Fantastic wine tour with a passionate guide - We had a wonderful experience on this tour. Everything was very well organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. The communication and support from Rolandia were excellent, and everything was clearly arranged which made the whole experience very easy and enjoyable.
Our guide Leo was extremely friendly and professional. He shared a lot of interesting information with great passion about Romania, its history, and the region we visited. His enthusiasm really made the tour more engaging and memorable.
The car was very comfortable, which made the journey even more pleasant. The wine cellars were truly impressive and definitely one of the highlights of the tour. The wine tasting was very well organized and we had the opportunity to taste several excellent wines in a beautiful setting.
Overall, this was a perfectly organized tour with a fantastic guide. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn more about Romania and enjoy its amazing wine culture.

Awesome day trip to Moldova 👌 - Great little day trip to Moldova with 3 of my friends. Picked up promptly in the morning and travelled in total comfort. Leo was a fantastic guide, sharing local knowledge along the journey. Had some lovely stop offs on the way, including historic monasteries and the Capital city - including some local food recommendations from Leo. The highlight of the trip was definitely the Cricova wine caves - an amazing place to visit (with very generous wine samples!!) Overall I would deffinately recommend this trip. Leo even sorted us some local dinner reservations in Iași on our return journey - which turned out to be the best meal of the holiday!!

Very interesting tour! - Leonardo was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about history and culture. He made sure we were comfortable and was a great tour guide. It’s a long day but definitely worth it to see somewhere different.

Moldova day tour - Leo was knowledgeable and engaging. He spoke in depth about the history of the region, as well as the architecture and paintings of the places we visited. He was also very mindful of the timing of my flight, thoughtfully preparing alternatives in case the border crossing took longer than expected. I had a truly wonderful day thanks to him and could not recommend him more highly.

Monasteries, Chicov winery and Chișenău tour! - We had a wonderful day on the Monasteries, Chicov winery and Chișenău tour.
Leo picked us up promptly for our tour. We were delighted on the same day to have a car to ourselves. Leo was very informative regarding the difference between the Catholic and Orthodox monasteries, the art, customs and hard work of the monks. Then, we were escorted to Chișenău where we were brought to the highlights of the city and had a coffee with our guide. This is truly beautiful city! Subsequently, we were escorted to Chicova where we were informed of the winery history, wine production and sampled various types of wine.
All in all, Leo was very friendly, professional and offered plenty of information. We would highly recommend this tour!
