Embark on a journey where the past and present intertwine, revealing hidden treasures and untold stories of Moldova. Discover places where history meets nature, on a tour that will take you through Rogojeni, Cobâlea, Vadul Rașcov and Socola.

We start with the Rogojeni Huts, known as “Băști”, rooms dug into the banks that keep ancestral traditions alive. These unique dwellings will transport you to a long-forgotten world.

In Cobâlea, the Oak of Stephen the Great awaits you, a symbol of longevity and the grandeur of nature. This secular tree, the oldest in Moldova, stands as a testament to strength and resistance throughout the ages.

Vadul Rașcov reveals the largest Jewish Cemetery in Moldova, a place of rare beauty, where the art of funerary sculpture blends harmoniously with the natural landscape of the Dniester.

The Dumitru Matcovschi House Museum offers you a window into the life and work of one of the most beloved moldovan poets, in an impressive natural setting on the banks of the Dniester.

The Bell Tower of Vadul-Rașcov, a historic building from the 17th century, will impress you with its robust architecture and its centuries-old story.

We finish with the Socola Rocks, where spectacular landscapes and mysterious caves await to be explored by the brave and adventurous.

Join us on this unique journey through history, culture and the beauties of Moldovan nature. It is the perfect moment to escape from everyday life and enrich yourself with new knowledge and unforgettable memories. Book your place now and get ready for an adventure that will remain in your heart! Contact us for details and registration.

What is included

Guide • Tour leader

Throughout the entire trip, you will be accompanied by a guide/escort from Chișinău. This ensures a safe, enjoyable, and well-organized experience, providing information, guidance, and assistance to facilitate your exploration and discovery of the chosen destination.

Additional charges

Guide in foreign languages

When visiting a foreign country, the language barrier can turn a pleasant experience into a challenging one. That is why we provide professional guides who speak the tourists’ language – English, Russian, Italian, German, and others.

With the help of a dedicated guide, you will gain a deeper understanding of the local culture, the stories behind each place, as well as the practical details that make your trip safer and more relaxing.

Period

FAQ = Frequently asked questions

What is included in the price?

Arrow

Details are presented for each excursion, in the "included activities" and "not included activities" sections. We recommend that you read them carefully and book optional services in advance (some entries require prior appointment).

Can I change or cancel my vacation after payment?

Arrow

Yes, according to the contract. The conditions for modification or termination are specified in the contract annex and on each trip’s page under the “Documents” section.
❓Requests should be sent to: contact@sicro.md.

What type of accommodation is included in the trip, and when will we find out the name of the booked hotel?

Arrow

Accommodation is usually provided in 3★ properties, and this information is mentioned in the trip description. If the exact name of the hotel or guesthouse is not specified in advance, it will be communicated a few days before departure (especially for shorter trips of up to 3 days).

 We always select the best options, based on our 9+ years of experience. The final choice of hotel is made once the group is nearly complete, in order to accommodate specific requests for single, triple rooms or family apartments.

How is accommodation arranged for solo travelers?

Arrow

We usually try to place solo travelers in twin rooms (separate beds) with persons of the same gender and similar age. If room sharing is not possible, a single supplement applies:

Romania: €35/night

Istanbul: €35/night

Hungary: €40/night

What type of transport is used for the trip?

Arrow

In most cases, we travel by modern coach when there are more than 20 confirmed participants.
For groups under 20 people, the trip is organized with a comfortable and spacious minibus, specially designed for international travel.

All vehicles are modern, equipped with air conditioning and luggage space.
? You can view the transport we travel with here: www.sicro.md/en/transport-services

What seat will I have on the transport?

Arrow

We cannot guarantee an exact seat number at the time of booking. Seat allocation is done transparently, based on the order of payment: the earlier you pay, the closer you will be seated to the front of the transport.

At booking, we can provide an approximate indication (“among the first seats,” “in the middle,” “after the middle,” “towards the back,” “last seats,” etc.).

Why can’t we specify the exact seat?
? We work with several transport companies, and the vehicles may vary from one trip to another.
? Each coach or minibus has its own seat numbering system.

At SICRO TRAVEL, we strictly follow one principle: seats are allocated exclusively according to the order of payment.

How much does an extra seat cost to sit alone on the transport?

Arrow

The fees for reserving an extra seat are:

Minibus: €40

Coach: €35

Long trips:
• Istanbul / Budapest & Vienna – €90
• Danube Gorges – €50

? If the vehicle is not fully booked, no extra fee is charged.

Are there stops along the way?

Arrow

Yes. There is a stop approximately every 3 hours for restroom breaks, snacks, or coffee.

Where is the departure point and where do we return?

Arrow

Usually, the departure point is the Railway Station Square in Chișinău, and the return from the trip is to the same location.

 One day before the trip, each traveler receives an SMS with:

  • the exact boarding location,
  • the guide/escort’s phone number,
  • the license plate number of the coach or minibus.

Why is medical insurance not included in the package and paid separately?

Arrow

Medical insurance is not automatically included in the package, as it is personalized according to each traveler’s age and health condition. However, it is essential for safety and for quick access to medical services if needed.

 Indicative rates – weekend trips to Romania:

  • up to 60 years – 50 MDL
  • 60–64 years – 100 MDL
  • 65–69 years – 150 MDL
  • 70–74 years – 200 MDL
  • 75–79 years – 250 MDL
  • 80+ years – 300 MDL

Travelers are free to obtain their medical insurance either through SICRO TRAVEL or from any other authorized provider.

 Important: if the insurance is purchased elsewhere, it must be presented at boarding.

What discounts does SICRO TRAVEL offer?

Arrow

Loyal customers – 5% discount for travelers who have joined us at least once a year during the past 3 years.
(The discount does not apply to seaside and mountain packages.)

Groups – for a minimum of 10 paying participants, the 11th person travels free of charge.

Families with children – special discounts are applied depending on the number of adults, number of children, their ages, and the number of rooms required. To determine the exact discount, these details must be provided.

Why are prices shown in euros, but payments are made in Moldovan lei, and what exchange rate applies?

Arrow

According to Moldovan law, payments must be made exclusively in Moldovan lei. Prices are displayed in euros because costs depend on external partners.

  • Excursions and domestic trips – the commercial euro selling rate of MAIB SA on the day of payment applies. Details: https://www.sicro.md/en/-exchange-rate
  • International vacations and packages (sea and mountain) – the exchange rate set by external partners applies. In this case, the commercial rate may be up to +2% higher than the official NBM rate.

What will the weather and conditions be like during the trip?

Arrow

Rain in Chișinău does not mean the same weather at the destination, which may be 300–500 km away. Trips are canceled only in exceptional cases (natural disasters, official alerts, major blockages).

If the weather changes during the trip, the team adjusts the route and schedule to ensure the excursion remains safe and enjoyable for all participants.

Where will we have lunch and dinner?

Arrow

Breakfast at the hotel is included (see the “included services” section).
Lunch and dinner are at your own expense. The guide will recommend local restaurants and guesthouses suitable for the group.

Can I skip some excursions or included attractions?

Arrow

Yes, as long as it does not affect the group’s overall program.
If you wish to skip a certain visit (e.g.: Brașov, Bran Castle), please inform the guide and be back at the transport at the scheduled departure time.

How can I pay for the trip?

Arrow

Available payment methods are:

  • Bank transfer
  • Online card payment
  • Cash or card at the agency office
