Transnistria is a must place to visit if you are interested in the history of the USSR in Moldova. This "dissident republic" is still politically and economically aligned with Russia and feels very different from other parts of Moldova. Visit the town of Tighina with its medieval fortress, Chitcani and its religious complex, and Tiraspol with its Soviet architecture. As this is a private tour, you can ask plenty of questions throughout the tour and enjoy a more personalized experience.

Just 12 miles (20 kilometers) south of Moldova’s capital Chișinău lies Milestii Mici, a vast wine cellar said to accommodate about 2 million bottles. With this tour, a driver takes the wheel, ferrying guests to and around the underground complex. On a guided tour of the cellar, learn about Moldovan viticulture, and sample five different wines as well as typical Moldovan dishes.

Embrace luxury with a private wine tasting tour. Visit this underground wine cellar to develop your understanding of wine. Visit maturing areas, sample the beverages on offer and enjoy a plentiful supply of nuts, biscuits and water. Explore multiple locations while roaming rambling underground streets and the Moldovan country side in style in your own private air-conditioned vehicle.

The tour is planned in such way, that you never get bored: - Pick up at hotel/apartment - 1 hour drive to Old Orhei - 1 hour exploration of the site - 2 hour for relaxing lunch/dinner - 45 minutes drive to Cricova - 2,5 hours excursion in the wine cellars - 1 hour drive back to Chisinau/hotel Total time needed: 7 hours

The visit through the small workshop where the wooden toys are born begins with a few short demonstrations so that the visitors can understand how the wood is processed to become a toy. After we see how the toys are made, we wear aprons and invite the visitors to work, we craft windmill, helicopter or cottage which we then paint. In the workshop we have available brushes, special paint and a guide to coordinate the children. Then the painted toy is taken home!
