Unleash your adventurous spirit on a thrilling 4-hour off-road buggy tour through Moldova's stunning landscapes.

After the ride, you'll enjoy a well-deserved break and a delicious lunch served in a traditional Moldovan-style restaurant — the perfect taste of local hospitality. This experience is ideal for adrenaline seekers, couples, and groups looking to explore Moldova in a bold and unforgettable way.

The Chișinău Wine Painting & City Tour stands out because it blends two experiences into one seamless story: discovering the capital on foot and expressing Moldova’s wine culture through art. It’s not just sightseeing — it’s seeing, tasting, and creating. It’s a one-of-a-kind cultural experience that brings together Moldova’s strongest identity: wine, creativity, and local atmosphere. During Paint Workshop and Wine Tasting, an experience awaits you where wine, art and emotion merge in a wine painting master class, guided by the local sommelier and guide. You will taste 6 carefully selected local wines, you will taste delicate snacks prepared to highlight the flavors, and the host will tell you about Moldovan wines, terroir, legends and inspiration. With the help of our artist, you can finally give free rein to your art talent! In this 2 hours workshop you will paint on canvas following the guide lines of a true Moldovan artist.

Guided step by step by an instructor, learn how to work with wine as pigment—exploring techniques such as layering, shading, dilution, and creating depth using different wine intensities. Beyond technique, the experience is calm, sensory, and meditative. As the wine dries and oxidizes, the colors evolve, making each artwork truly unique. It’s a creative process that encourages experimentation, patience, and attention to detail. All materials are provided, including paper, brushes, and selected wines used strictly for painting. Leave with your own finished artwork and a new creative perspective.

What are people saying about Chisinau

Cristina_C, Jul 2026

10/10 Experience! The...

10/10 Experience! The attractions were fascinating and our guide went absolutely above and beyond. Our guide Vadim is an expert historian who gave us detailed explanations of each planned attraction plus everything else we passed. He added tasteful humor and insightful details all throughout, plus answered all the extra questions we had. Unfortunately, the museum was closed (despite the website showing otherwise), but our guide still shared its story and even took us to another similar museum to make up for it. This tour was truly fascinating, as we got to know so much about the Gagauz history and culture. The food was amazing and the atmosphere at the Sofrasi restaurant was great, as we even saw a traditional wedding. It cannot be overstated how above and beyond Vadim went to make the experience special and worthwhile. This tour is perfect for anyone who appreciates culture, history and traditional customs.

Best of Moldova: Cricova Winery & Old Orhei and Curchi Monastery

Laura_T, Jul 2026

Fantastic private tour

Fantastic your, fantastic guide, loved it. Would highly recommend! Went on this tour with my sister and mum and it was amazing. Going at your own pace you get to see the amazing monastery, museums, tunnels and more and then you finish on the wine tour which was simply amazing, I would do it all over again. Moldova was beautiful covered in sunflowers lovely!

Transnistria Tour from Chisinau Explore Soviet Time Capsule

Dennis_M, Jul 2026

Very nice experience

Very interesting experience. I felt very safe, despite all the warnings that embassies give to tourists. Diana was a very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful guide. She did all she could to give the group a pleasant experience. Pridnestrovie is worth a visit. You step back in time to the Sowjet Union in the 80s and at the same time you will see that the people there are just like us all. Can recommend.

Highlights of Moldova - Curchi, Old Orhei and Cricova (Optional)

Jaqueline_C, Jun 2026

Great tour of some of Moldova’s highlights

A really good full day tour that showed some of the highlights of Moldova. Corina was a great guide - full of insight into modern and old Moldova. We highly recommend this tour to everyone who visits Moldova. Pay the extra for the Cricova tour and tasting - it’s definitely worth it!

One day tour in Transnistria

Marsha_H, Jun 2026

One day tour of Transnistria

Great experience only 5 of us with Tatiana who spoke excellent English and gave us a lot of information. We had lunch at a local woman’s house of traditional Moldovan specialties which was prepared from scratch. Border crossing was very easy. We handed our passports to our driver at the border control and got them with the temporary registration paper for Transnistria. We were very safe at all the important highlights we visited which one included Bender Fortresss, two war memorials, city hall. I had changed my tour plans to this one and was not disappointed.

Tiraspol and Bender Back in the USSR Tour

charlottelister, Jun 2026

One of the best tours we have ever done

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.

This was 100% the highlight of my entire trip to Europe. It is so interesting to see how Soviet culture lives on despite Moldova's EU aspirations and westernization. I especially liked our visit to the Soviet restaurant. The food was very good. Our tour guide Ruslan was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and funny.

Travel to Pridnestrovie with Anton Dendemarchenko - day tour

Paul_B, May 2026

A Local Pridnistrovie Guide is Best

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!

Best of Chisinau Private City Tour

Olga_D, Dec 2025

Amazing walking tour!

Thank you , Natalia, for my walking tour in Chisinau! It was a wonderful tour! Highly recommend ! Natalia was perfectly on time and very helpful. The tour was well organized, and she gave her 100 percent — it was even above my expectations. She is very professional. We saw many beautiful sights, and she also gave me excellent recommendations for other places to visit in Moldova — I didn’t even imagine there was so much to see. Great experience!

4 Hours Cricova Winery Tour with Tasting

Rebecca_D, Oct 2025

Can be booked directly through the winery

We really enjoyed this winery, it was a great experience and we had a really good time. Our driver was really quiet, and hard to find at the end of the tour, but we appreciated the ride. If we could do this again, we probably would have just booked directly through the winery and caught an uber. This tour didn’t really provide anything special that we couldn’t have planned ourselves.

Milestii Mici Underground Winery Tour INCLUDING Wine tasting

Sandra_K, Oct 2025

A Day in the Wine Tunnels

Fascinating tunnel travel with explanations of the various wine collections. Not your standard wine tour of “how we make it”. Lovely wine tasting of three wines with nice snacks and Moldavian music. Nathalie a lovely articulate guide. Recommend this tour to others!

Back in the USSR - Transnistria.

Lisa_G, Oct 2025

Great day exploring an 'unrecognised country'

Great day. Marina was a fantastic guide - full of information and enthusiasm. Long day - we got back to Chisinau at 7.45pm - so it probably won't work if you've got a flight to catch! You'll need to exchange money for lunch - we changed 700 MLD and bought 2x beers; 2x soups; 1x dumplings and 2x puddings for lunch. We had spare for 3x dried caviar and a lot of chocolate! There was an additional opportunity to exchange money after lunch... Please note, you can not change the local currency back!
