Private tours · From Chișinău · In your language
All the tours, in one place.
One-day routes, a border crossing to Odesa, a journey of a week or longer, and a day you build yourself. Every one of them private.
Wine cellars you walk kilometres inside, monasteries cut into limestone cliffs, a palace, a forest reserve, a Gagauz museum, a Soviet-era city on the other bank of the Dniester. Pick a theme below or read them all. The price is always for the car and the guide, never per person, so a family of four pays what a couple pays.
