Andrian was a wonderful guide and conversationalist. He took me to the several beautiful monasteries and churches and showed me the beauty of the Moldovan landscape. We talked about history, politics, religion, the economy… everything I wanted to understand about this lovely country. It was a wonderful chance to learn more from a smart and interesting new friend.

Great way to see two of the most interesting sites in Moldova. The Curchi monastery was beautiful, and the old Orhei village was beautiful. The authentic lunch at the ecolodge there was amazing as well. Friendly and professional driver. Definitely recommend!

Andrian is very polite, professional and he knows Moldova inside out. He was there right on time waiting for us. We were chatting along the journey, found out a lot about the local culture and developments. It's winter when we visit, Andrian told us it's really beautiful during summer and it's a completely different experience. We will definitely recommend this tour to people who are visiting Moldova. 5 stars
