Unlike a typical day trip, this is a private and flexible experience starting in Chișinău. There’s no fixed script or mandatory stops — we can adapt the day to what interests you.
As Moldova’s neighbour, Ukraine’s history and changes have always been close to us. We didn’t live through everything ourselves, but we felt the repercussions, watched the changes unfold, and experienced many of them from just across the border.
Your local guide will share that neighbour’s perspective — not a formal history lecture, but honest conversations, personal observations, stories, and opinions about Ukraine, Moldova, and the connections between the two.
More than visiting Odesa, it’s about understanding it through the eyes of someone from the neighbouring country.
