A Fun Day Outing - Fantastic day out with a personable and knowledgeable guide. We had a fun time with our group, and really enjoyed seeing the countryside, the impressive and picturesque monastery, and Old Orhei. Lunch was perfect, eating outside on a covered terrace with a breeze, the traditional foods and setting was a great experience. Great menu, great options for food, and excellent photo opportunities. Our last stop, for the Cricova Winery tour and tastings was super fun, as wine tastings often are. The guide at Cricova was a funny personality, he did a great job with a big group, our time slot included around 30+ people. We tasted 7 wines, we loved the whites and roses, and the snack plate went perfectly with it all. Seeing the many miles of tunnels, including the cubbies built into the stone for the wine collections, is very cool. The day started around 09.30 with a pick up at our hotel, and we were dropped off sometime around 17.00 (after the wine, so not sure exactly!), the day went by quickly, it never felt too long, and we really appreciated seeing some highlights of Moldova outside of Chisinau. Highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic private tour - Fantastic your, fantastic guide, loved it. Would highly recommend! Went on this tour with my sister and mum and it was amazing. Going at your own pace you get to see the amazing monastery, museums, tunnels and more and then you finish on the wine tour which was simply amazing, I would do it all over again. Moldova was beautiful covered in sunflowers lovely!

Prompt pickup with... - Prompt pickup with information put on WhatsApp. Glad they mentioned taking along sweater or jacket as Cricova Winery is underground and quite cool. Make sure to wear sneakers and not sandals as ground is rocky at Orhei Monastery.
