The perfect guide

Reviewed July 9, 2022

I almost always find my own way around a new city and explore solo. But with my limited time in Chisinau, and took the suggestion from my hosts at the Florence Hotel (also highly recommended) and booked a half day tour with Valery, and enjoyed every minute. He is punctual, energetic and incredibly passionate about Moldova and its history, and explains it brilliantly. His English is better than mine, and wants nothing more than to help the traveler learn as much as they can about this small, little-known country. As an added bonus, his knowledge of classical and modern music is unmatched, and if Moldova wasn't so interesting, we could have spent hours discussing everything from Mussorgsky to the Beatles. Don't hesitate: just book Valery!

Two excellent tours

Reviewed October 22, 2021

Had 2 great tours with Valery. One in Chisinau and one in Transnistria. Valery was very friendly and knowledgeable, answering all my questions including those more general questions about life in Moldova. He has a car which was necessary for Transnistria and useful for Chisinau, particularly if you're short on time as you can fit more in. I enjoyed Valery's company for the two days we were together and I feel like I learnt lots! Thank you

Superb insights into the beauties of Moldova

Reviewed October 22, 2021

I was referred to Valery through Stefan, receptionist at the Leogrand Radisson Blu Hotel in Chisinau.

With Valery I booked 3 tours

- Chisinau City Tour

- Monastery Tour through the countryside

- Back in the USSR Tour to Tiraspol

Valery disposes over an immense knowledge on life, habits and history of Moldova which he skillfully combines with his vast general knowledge in all fields of history, politics and culture, epecially literture, philospohy, arts and music. I gained countless valuable insights into the daily life of Moldova and can look back to an extremely informative trip to Moldova. 

Valery was an extremely friendy, flexible and pleasant guide who was responsive to all my requests at all times. His English is really outstanding so that communication difficulties were no issue at all. Valery made my visit to Moldavia a real success! 

Thank you, Valery!

Four days touring Moldova

Reviewed October 16, 2021

Valery was a fantastic guide. We arranged with him different tours around the country (Old Orhei, Cricova Winery, Transnistria, Chisinau city tour, airport transfers, etc.) and it was all excellently organised, we even visited some places that were not foreseen in the initial description. They were very punctual (our driver was always waiting for us before the time) and flexible in adapting to our needs. To sum up, it was an excellent experience and if I were to return to Moldova, I would contact Valery again.
