Intro
Little known Moldova has one of the lowest profiles of any country in Europe, but offers one of the best insights into the culture and history of a Europe that is disappearing fast elsewhere. As well as many of the sites you can see on our Moldova Explorer tour, you can also discover its quirky gems like the abandoned Winter Circus in the capital Chisinau. Chisinau also the opportunity to take in some excellent opera performances. Or why not come to celebrate Transnistria’s “independence” in September! In October join revellers for a glass or two at Chișinău's wine festival. Fancy some quiet time? Take a couple of days to relax in the rural idyll of Butuceni.

Martin and Gillian Wilson , Moldova ExplorerWe had a really lovely trip to Moldova.Thanks to Travel the Unknown everything worked perfectly and we had no worries about anything.In particular the Moldovan guide and driver were very helpful and friendly.The duration and pace of activity meant we returned to the UK very relaxed.Moldova is not on everybody's list of holiday destinations but we found the whole experience interesting and educational.
Sarah Burgess , Moldova ExplorerWe both very much enjoyed our trip including the ballet, the food and the wine. The guide and the driver were very helpful.
Irwin Drangel & Linda Schain , Tailor-made Caucasus and Soviet FringesWe asked Travel the Unknown to come up with an unusual trip to 6 counties of the Caucasus and the ex-Soviet Union countries. They did so in a tour that flowed seamlessly the whole 38 days. The most impressive part was when Ukrainian Airlines cancelled our connecting flights from Kiev to Minsk, for 2 consecutive days. We contacted Travel The Unknown that morning and asked them to arrange an overnight train with a sleeping compartment. When arrived in Kiev, we were met at the airport, driven to the train station where tickets where waiting for us. They arranged for our pickup at the station in Minsk, as we left the train, and we went on our planned tours without losing a minute. That is what I call great service!
