Intensive but entertaining instruction on all things Chisinau.
This tour is an excellent way to learn a lot about the city, especially if you aren't staying long. Alexandru met me at my hotel and tweeked the tour to accommodate my particular interests. We walked mostly but also caught a couple of busses too which I thought added an extra dimension to the trip. Alex was an excellent communicator and great company for the best part of the day. All in all a very enjoyable and educational day in Moldova's capital.
Operator response

Excellent tour
I highly recommend this tour for those wishing to visit the city of Chisinau. Alex was so helpful, even in the lead-up to my trip, patiently answering all of my questions. The city tour itself is wonderfully extensive, I was shown all of the main attractions, plus some more. At my request, Alex also arranged a full day of sightseeing around Moldova’s most beautiful monasteries and wineries – which was a dream come true for me. Alex offers tours totally tailor-made for each individual and will happily show you whatever you want to see. As a local of Chisinau, Alex certainly knows what he is talking about, his local & wider knowledge was an invaluable part of my visit. His English is also very very good so this tour is perfect for English speakers. I learned so much about this beautiful country – thank you for such an amazing visit!
