I really enjoyed this program. Lilia was a wonderful guide, who helped me to learn about daily life in Moldova, the beauty of the country and its cultural traditions, as well as the difficulties of Moldova. I got a complete picture of the country, for which I cannot be thankful enough.
Old Orhei is stunning, and the 120 km labyrinth system of the Cricova winery is also amazing. The wine tasting was also super.
I would especially like to point out that Lilia drove very safely, which I think is a particularly important aspect of such a program. So if you are in Moldova, don't hesitate to book this program :)
