Both the guide and driver were lovely and very understanding about my unexpectedly sore back. They both let us two Travelers move at our own pace. Comrat and the other parts of this trip were very charming. I enjoyed both the museum and the ethnographic restaurant.
The food and tour at the restaurant were an unexpected delight. I highly recommend this tour while you are in Moldova.
