I had a layover in Chisinau and I decided to have a short city center overview tour by car instead of being stuck in the airport premises. The guide/driver Gorita Veaceslav met me at the airport (extra 15 euro both ways) and took my hand luggage to his car. He was welcome and told me about the country/city and people. It was very interesting to listen to him. It was a combined riding/walking tour and despite freaking cold weather on that day, we did out best to walk and see.
I do recommend this tour company as reliable and this tour in particular for those short in time or with long layover in the airport. You will be pleased to spend 3-4 hours with Veaceslav showing you his home city.

Founded 583 years ago the city was mainly developed in Russian Imperial times, when Moldova was under the Russian Empire starting from 1812 to 1918 when it became a part of the Great Romania till 1940 and then part of the Soviet Union. All the major historic sites were constructed in the 19th century (all of them from the local white limestone creating an image of the city as "A Stone Flower") reflecting the period of history known as Imperial. Second part is done in the car to see the rest of the city.
