Overview
Traveling privately on a custom itinerary means flexibility – flexibility to immerse yourself in your own exclusive experience, to craft an itinerary around your interests, and to travel when it’s right for you.
Want to explore the break-away region of Trandsniester, a time capsule of a by-gone Soviet era? How about visiting a local school to learn more about the Moldovan educational system and chat with some schoolchildren about their lives? Need suggestions?
