Sally was wonderful!! As soon as she picked us up she enquirer as to what would interest us the most and what we really would like to see and get out of the tour. Sally made sure that we got to see sights that we would never have been able to find on our own and was a pleasure to spend a day with. She is full of lots of interesting stories and history. Chiatura was exactly what we were expecting and it is really worth the visit!! Thanks for the great day..

Эти места стоит увидеть. В Мартвили и пещера Прометея отличная туристическая инфраструктура. Каньон Окаце можно пойти пешком по живописной тропе примерно 2 километра. Но если здоровье не позволяет можно добраться на джипе, местные оказывают такой сервис.

This is a fantastic tour with lots of interesting stops. My favourite tour in Georgia…and we have had some amazing ones before. Our guide was awesome and we had a great day.

A very nice tour that shows a less known part of the country. I was the only one going that day; that made it extra special. ;-)

Really exciting and interesting tour. Really enjoyable. Highly recommend. Have taken tonnes of pictures
