A well-organised tour led by an exceptional guide (Shoti) whose knowledge of and passion for Georgia are impressive! The sights and scenery are simply spectacular — what a treat to see the majestic Kazbegi covered in thick snow. Shoti handled the group very well. He is charismatic and is able to answer any question about Georgia with ease. It was a long day with plenty walking but I can’t recommend the trip enough. If you’re going in the winter months, be sure to wear shoes with grip that can withstand snow slipperiness.

Our guide Metro is exceptional. He ensured we had the best tour possible, responding to our interests and sharing his in-depth knowledge of Georgia’s history and culture. I am so glad we paid the extra cost of a private tour, because we were able to learn so much from this deeply intelligent and personable young man. Shalva was a skilled and very cheerful driver. I also highly recommend Gamarjoba Georgia Tours, who ran this tour.

The tour began with a wine tasting. Afterwards, our guide Charlie took us to the most important places of the city and told us a lot of interesting facts about the history of Tbilisi. My highlight was the ride on the cable car and the walk with a view of the whole city. Thank you, Charlie!

We had a great tour. Our tour guide Roma was very friendly and created a good atmosphere. Also felt that our bus driver was very professional, felt safe during the tour. It was pretty chilly but places were nice and group kept up a good spirit ☺️ I would rate this tour with 5⭐

My guide was really pleasant and informative.an I have enjoyed the tour so much. I recommend it to everyone who love. architechture, brutalism and social modernism.
