We will visit many monasteries, some of them not so well- known, but each of them having something interesting to show. We will see new and old churches/monasteries, we will see that life and tradition didn’t change here since many centuries, that even now the life is almost the same as 1000 years ago. You will overnight in monasteries, you will eat with the nuns and monks, you will talk to them, you can ask any questions you want, and so, by living, hearing, seeing you will understand a little bit of the beauty of the orthodox world, and enjoy living simple, eating well and healthy, and also relaxing your body and soul from the stressful life. It will be NOT an excursion, it will be an EXPERIENCE. May be not so impressive from art and history point of view, but for sure extremely impressive from the experience we will have interacting with local people and people from these monasteries.

Despite the fact that 50 years of hard communism destroyed some of the Romanian churches and monasteries, the fact that Ceausescu in the 80’s had a strong campaign against the church and everything related to it, many of them survived in good or worse conditions and many have been reopened after 1990.

Lo qué Dice la jente

El viaje fue realmente organizado al máximo. Instalaciones, vehículo, conductor y sobre todo la guía Cristina realmente buena! Moldavia es muy agradable, especialmente los monasterios. De hecho, hemos regresado de un viaje gastronómico un poco borrachos. Los vinos y la cocina realmente buenos!

¡Gracias de nuevo!

Querida Victoria!

¡Muchas gracias por presentarnos tu país, su comida y su gente! Nos vamos a casa con muchos recuerdos encantadores, ¡gracias a sus excelentes habilidades de organización!

Mulțumesc!

Querida Victoria

Acepte el endosado como muestra de mi agradecimiento y aprecio. He tenido la suerte, a lo largo de los años, de haber viajado a muchos destinos y de haber experimentado todo tipo de guía. En mi opinión, está en lo más alto, uno de los pocos elegidos que logran "hacerlo bien".

Como cualquier trabajo calificado, guiar es algo que, cuando se hace bien, ¡parece fácil! Tú y yo sabemos que ese no es el caso; Es una profesión dura y exigente que pocas personas hacen adecuadamente, y aún menos, bien. Casi nadie hace un trabajo tan bueno que sus clientes se sientan cuidados, seguros, valorados y especiales. Usted, en mi opinión, es uno de esos raros líderes de gira.

Por favor, acepte mi pequeña muestra de gratitud. Has sido amable, ligero, conocedor (extremadamente), considerado, tolerante, eficiente, confiable ... Podría continuar, pero para evitar tus sonrojos terminaré diciendo que no puedo encontrar una sola crítica (esto es algo raro para mí ... ¡Tengo estándares muy altos!).

Su empresa depende de su éxito para que usted cumpla lo que prometió. Lo has hecho profesionalmente con una sonrisa, sentido del humor y dignidad de agradecimiento.

Le deseo toda la suerte del mundo para el futuro y gracias por dejarme no solo recuerdos felices sino también una impresión positiva de Moldavia.

Con mis mejores deseos, Veronica.
