Hello, dear traveler! 🙂 Moldova, ah?! - Well, most of your friends don't even know where is Moldova, so you are already doing the right step to discover this small and unique Eastern-European country! - Listen, I am not the best Moldovan tour guide, but I always try to do my best, so our visitors can eventually return home with some good memories about my country! Why is that important to me? - First, because personally, I clearly share your passion for traveling. The world seems to be a very big and fascinating place, and yes, the best time to travel is now! - Second, I do believe in good people and consider that nothing is more important than a nice, friendly communication between a tour guide and a traveler. - Moldova is not a touristy country at all and we don't have here super-famous crowded attractions to visit, but who said Moldova has to have those, right? Sometimes you just want a peaceful area to enjoy the quietness or a relaxing drive to some undiscovered spots in the middle of nowhere! Moldova is perfect for that: less commercial and more authentic. - So, I am a Russian-speaking Bulgarian from Turkish-speaking Authonomy of Romanian-speaking Moldova, leading tours in English! I know, it is mindblowing, but hey, it is Eastern Europe here, so most of people are like this. We are as blessed with this impressive diversity, as cursed. - I love my country, its history, its past, and the hard-working and kind people of course. At the same time, I always try to be as realistic and direct as possible, showing Moldova as it really is. I graduated from the Faculty of History and since that time - I am guiding people throughout Moldova for 8 years and feel great! Being quite a simple person - I really appreciate kindness, empathy, simplicity, and openness in people. I know for sure, that every country hides some undiscovered "treasures", and my Moldova does too! So, let's explore them together! - I have Master's Degree in History. - Best student of University. - Driving a 7-seat Toyota Prius. - Guiding for 8 years, as my main job. Love it! Come to visit Moldova! Be our Guest! 🙂

Overview of your Chisinau tour

Hi there! If you are wondering what else to see around Chisinau - a trip to Iasi can be a great idea! Do you know why? Well, let's see: 1) Iasi is even closer than Soroca, our main northern destination. 2) Iasi used to be the capital of medieval Moldova for almost 300 years before it got split into Moldova - today's region of Romania and the Republic of Moldova, my country. So to have a full picture of Moldova - you must travel to Iasi! 3) If you haven't been to Romania yet - it is your chance! But if even you decide to visit Romania one day, you will see that Iasi - is not in the top destinations, not as promoted as Bucuresti, Brasov, Bran, and so on. So when else to visit that city, if not during your stay in Chisinau? What I personally like about Iasi - is how quiet, green, and beautiful is that city. Just its Palace of Culture is worth a lot! Check the pictures, it is impressive! Iasi is a Romanian "pearl" which is at least twice closer to Chisinau, than to Bucuresti. You decide

Your Chisinau tour itinerary

I am going to pick you up in the morning in Chisinau, so we can drive towards the border. Usually, it takes about 1. 5 hours to reach Romania. The border check is normally quick, so in about 45 minutes, we reach Iasi. This is just a short list of destinations: - Palace of Culture - Stefan the Great Pedestrian Street - Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral - Iasi City Hall - National Theatre - Union Square - Alexandru Ioan Cuza University - Copou Park and others. . . By noon we are going to have a traditional Lunch in Iasi. By the evening, we are departing back to Chisinau
