Each of these places hides remarkable natural and historical treasures, providing visitors with a unique experience.
Saharna → Located in northern Moldova, Saharna is renowned for its impressive natural beauty and waterfall complex. The main attraction is Saharna Waterfall, which cascades down in a series of spectacular steps, creating a magical landscape. The waterfall offers numerous opportunities for memorable photographs and is an ideal place for relaxation and contemplation. In addition to the waterfalls, Saharna is home to a monastery bearing the same name, dating back to the 17th century. Saharna Monastery is an important religious and historical site in Moldova, attracting pilgrims from across the country.
Țipova → Located in southwestern Moldova, Țipova is famous for its spectacular limestone landscape and monastic complex. One of the most notable features is the Țipova Canyon, carved into the rock along the Dniester River. Along the canyon, visitors can admire numerous grottoes and caves, including the best-known Large Cave and Small Cave. These fascinating sites offer opportunities for nature exploration and stunning photography. Țipova is also home to Țipova Monastery, one of the oldest monastic complexes in Moldova and an important religious and historical site. Built into the rock, the monastery offers a unique glimpse into the country’s spiritual heritage.
Both Saharna and Țipova are ideal destinations for those wishing to experience the natural beauty and rich cultural and religious heritage of the Republic of Moldova. These places are suitable for visitors of all ages and interests, offering opportunities for exploration, relaxation, and contemplation.

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).
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:
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.
All trips organized in Romania are held in Romanian.
The guide can, if needed, provide organizational details in Russian, but the storytelling and presentation of tourist sites are only in Romanian.
For private groups or customized trips, we can provide English-, Russian-, German-, or French-speaking guides, depending on availability.
Usually, the departure point is the Railway Station Square in Chișinău, and the return from the trip is to the same location.

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.

• Istanbul / Budapest & Vienna – €90

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

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).
