Perfect tour, our tour guide was very nice and was very knowledgable about everything
Tour was well organized and the lenght was good. Guide suggested a nice restaurants. Our guide had very strong opinions about religion, politics, immigration and sexual diversity. She also commented our nationality, occupations and some personal thinngs. She shared those toughts with us and wanted to discuss about them with us. That made us feel uncomfortable. We also received false information about Moldovian society.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the organization of the tour, the pacing of the day, and the restaurant recommendation. At the same time, we are truly sorry to hear that parts of your experience made you feel uncomfortable. We understand that discussions about personal topics such as politics, religion, immigration, or sexual diversity can be sensitive, and this is not the type of atmosphere we aim to create during our tours. Our goal is always to provide an informative, welcoming, and respectful experience for every guest, regardless of background or beliefs. We also take your concerns regarding inaccurate information seriously and will address this directly with the guide to ensure a more professional and balanced approach in the future. We genuinely appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us improve the experience for future travelers.
We had a lovely tour with Lilia to Orhei and Cricova winery. Lilia was really fun to hang out and it felt like a really casual mood. She knew all the best spots and we loved what we saw and the amazing tasty lunch. Would como back, no doubts.
Thank you for Francisco your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour, Lilia’s guidance, and the lunch. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!"
We spent a day with Liliya to visit the monasteries and we also did the wine tasting in cricova. Liliya is a wonderful guide. This was by far one of the most interesting tour we had in Moldova and would definitely recommend it. It was well worth it. Thank you again Liliya!
Thank you the best travellers.
I had the pleasure of experiencing a well-organized tour of Moldova, and I can confidently say it was a fantastic journey. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, showcasing the country's rich culture and history and beautiful landscapes. The tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured that every detail was taken care of, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Thank you, Andrzej
The trip started with our guide, Liliya, an exceptionally knowledgeable professional whose experience, communications skills and positive, upbeat attitude set the tone for a great day at Cricova Winery and Ohrei Monastery. The winery tour and tasting was a great experience, while I left Ohrei Monastery and the nearby village, with a complete sense of awe and appreciation for the people an rich history of Moldova. It would be foolish for anyone to visit Moldova and NOT share this experience.
Thank you 👍👍👍
A guide was very pleasant, making sure I am getting the best experience from this tour. Moldovan cuisine and wine were great. The Old Orhei historical tour was also exciting. Recommended.
