This was a wonderful day trip to do from Chisinau! My driver was very knowledgeable and kind and made sure to point out and tell me fun and interesting things as we saw them. The wine tour was amazing! I’d recommend doing the tasting option when booking! I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chisinau!
The churches, Old Orhei and the lunch in there were amazing. The winery tour was amazing. Special thanks to our tour guide Ekaterina. Impeccable hospitality, guidance and knowledge. Thank you so much.

Here you’ll visit some churches, and among them – the “Virgin’s Assumption” Cathedral, built by the drawings of genius architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli. After the monastery, we will continue with Orheiul Vechi region.
Here you will have the opportunity to visit the most interesting archaeological site housing the ruins of two cities (14th -16th century). Tatars settled here on their expansion to Western Europe. Continue with a visit to the well-maintained Orthodox Cave Monastery, which was expanded and modified inside the cliffs by monks over the centuries. Christian churches provide magnificent scenery through the windows of the monastery which still functions today.
In the afternoon we will continue with Cricova underground galleries. You will see over seventy streets covering an area of nearly 53 hectares, each bearing Bacchic names: Sauvignon, Cabernet, etc. There is one story always told in this place about the Russian pilot Yuri Gagarin, who during a visit in 1966, after getting tipsy, got lost and missed the exit. He went out the next day, having spent the night in the tasting room, currently named after him.
Here you can also admire the oldest bottle of wine, dating from 1902.

Perfect, because it was a small group. Great guide. Tasty wine, food.
Had a great tour with Corneluis. He was very informative and engaging and an overall wonderful guide who went out of his way to show me the best of his country. I would highly recommend this tour with Corneluis as your guide.
Our tour guide, Natalia, was extremely down to earth. She managed to carry the conversation both professionally speaking and personally. She adds unexpected nice touches to the tour. Good value.
This was a great chance to see some of the countryside in Moldova as well as an interesting monastery. Natalia did a great job and the lunch was an amazing opportunity to try many different local foods. If your in Moldova this is a much do tour.
