“Our tour guide, Natalia, was extremely down to earth. She managed to carry the conversation both professionally speaking and personally. She adds unexpected nice touches to the tour--such as purchasing candles for you to light within the monastery. The views from the Complex are beautiful and well worth the excursion outside of the city! Our particular tour included an authentic Moldavian feast. You will not be disappointed in the quality of the restaurant hospitality and food. A definite highlight!”
