Despite being the least visited country in Europe, Moldova is still a great off the beaten track place to travel. Young Pioneer Tours brought their first group tour to Moldova back in 2010 and since then it has been one of our most popular tours.
And this is not supersizing, with the country having the perfect mix of ancient culture, Soviet Chic, Unrecognized Countries and of course great wine. Now really is the time to Visit Moldova.
