Moldova Tours & Holidays
Moldova holidays reward the genuinely curious — a landlocked sliver of Eastern Europe where ancient cave monasteries, subterranean wine kingdoms, and the living remnant of a Soviet breakaway state sit within a few hours of each other.
Few European countries carry as many layers as Moldova. Shaped by the Ottoman Empire, absorbed into Tsarist Russia, and then folded into the Soviet Union, this small nation has never quite settled on a single identity — and that ambiguity is precisely what makes it so compelling to visit. The autonomous region of Gagauzia follows its own traditions, while Transnistria, a self-declared republic that still flies the hammer and sickle, feels like a place that time forgot.
Our Moldova tours take in Chisinau’s tree-lined boulevards, the limestone cliffs of Orheiul Vechi, the vast underground cellars of Cricova, the medieval ramparts of Soroca Fortress, and the vineyards of Chateau Pucari — Moldova’s oldest winery and one of its most visited.
Explore our Moldova Tours
Our Moldova holidays are built around depth rather than speed. In six days, the programme moves beyond the capital to reach Gagauzia, the wine country around Pucari, the cave monastery at Orheiul Vechi, and the Roma hilltop mansions of Soroca — places that rarely appear on mainstream Eastern Europe itineraries.
Our escorted group tours run with a maximum of 12 travellers, led by local English-speaking guides who know Moldova’s political and cultural nuances well. Private and tailor-made options are also available.

A wonderful opportunity to explore and experience a string of Caribbean islands. Although the pace of the trip was fast, we still managed to see behind the glitz and glamour of the holiday industry and get to grips with local history and culture.

Some inspiration from our blog
British, US, and Australian nationals do not currently require a visa for a tourist visit to Moldova. We recommend checking the latest requirements with your government's travel advice pages close to your departure date, as entry rules can change.
Our small group Moldova tours welcome solo travellers, and there are no compulsory single supplements on our departures. If you prefer a private room throughout, a single room supplement is available.
