Top Chisinau Day Trips

Just came back from an amazing day in Pridrestnovie. Not only was the tour exceptionally designed, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and the driver drove safely (which is rather rare here;) We were also extremely lucky to visit on Sept 2nd, which is Republic Day! Thank you for the tour to the country which doesn’t exist!

Our tour guide was Ecaterina and she was an excellent guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, patient and with a good sense of humour! I loved the versatility of the tour and especially enjoyed the cave monastery, the church on a hill and the Cricova Winery. This tour is a must while in Moldova and I could not recommend it enough!

The tour was excellent, it was prolonged and adjusted to our needs and a bonus site was added to the tour program. The guide had an excellent knowledge not only about the destinations we visited, but also about various aspects of Moldovan culture and everyday life. I would definitely recommend.

Wow. This is a fabulous tour, made even better by our fantastic guide Victor. He is knowledgeable, engaging and funny. The logistics were perfect - we were contacted to day before to confirm time of pick up, advised what to bring, and then transported effortlessly to every part of the tour on a comfortable, clean minibus. Victor gave a commentary through Chisinau and onto Bender, explaining the process for crossing the border and making this effortless and straightforward. He then took us to exchange currency, we saw the monuments and buildings in Bender, then drove on to Tiraspol. Victor told us about the history and geopolitical situation at every point and answered all questions openly and fully. Lunch in the Soviet canteen was great (and super cheap) and shopping in the market was great fun. We finished at Bendery fortress with more information and history, and then got driven back to Chisinau. Overall a truly brilliant tour, definitely helped by good weather and a great group of people on the tour, but so worth doing.

You could get a guide from Chisinau BUT Anton Dendemarchenko lives in Transnistria and he guides you through an experience of Pridnistrovia. He's very focused on providing a catered experience and he communicated via WhatsApp as soon as I booked to ask about who I am and what I wanted from my visit. To say he went beyond expected is no exaggeration, he added a few hours to our visit so he could show us more Local things. When you book with Anton, a local, you have so many advantages. Be warned there will be a quiz, you are expected to think... it's ok if you don't want to participate. And for your safety, there's no talking to Anton while he's driving in the city. For some reason I got a Gilead vibe, there is NO similarity, just the desire to create your own country and the reaction from the rest of the world. So I say, as an experienced world explorer, Book This Experience!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience visiting Gagauzia. Our tour guide, Ecaterina, was absolutely lovely — very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the culture and history of the region. During the tour, we visited the beautiful Manuc Bey Mansion, enjoyed a delicious lunch at a traditional-style restaurant, and finished the day exploring the sights of Comrat. The entire experience was well organized and gave us a great introduction to a unique and fascinating part of Moldova. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the culture, history, and hospitality of Gagauzia.

Asya was extremely flexible with requests and did her upmost to provide me with an authentic experience. She went the extra mile ensuring that I tasted Kvas - just for me - bought in a super market and I was impressed with her historical knowledge. She was also kind. I really encourage you to book a tour with her. From Dominic (London)

My cousin and I had a wonderful time on our trip to Orhei Vechi. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Andrian is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Moldova and shared fascinating insights about the monasteries we visited. We learned so much and saw some truly beautiful places, especially with the stunning fall foliage. I highly recommend this tour with Andrian!
