Wonderful experience. Oleg our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed a lot the Old Orhei and Curchi architecture. It was a perfect beginning to our trip in Eastern Europe. And yes, Cricova is a must!
Amazing scenery and great tour!

Great tour! The view from Orheiul Vechi Cave Monasteries is absolutely stunning. You can't say you have been to Moldova unless you have visited this site.
Oleg, our guide was awesome! Really informative in the history of Moldova and the knowledge of the country. He stopped several times outside of the program, just because he thought I should see an amazing view or house. His English was really good.
Highly recommend!

I also ended up visiting Transnistria with Oleg the next day which was absolutely worth the visit and perfectly safe to visit. A great way to see some Soviet history!
