Highlight of our trip to Tbilisi - I was with my dad who is senior and I was worry he may get tired or feel inconveniences.
But at the end of the day he was so happy and this tour was one of his highlights of our trip to Tbilisi.
Everything planed perfectly well and we tried a lot of wines, visiting beautiful places and learnt a lot about Georgia and it's culture.
Madi our guide was so kind and energetic, special thanks to her for making our day so memorable.

Great guide - Very nice guide, who spoke good English and took very good care of us in every way. Also gave tips on other tours and things to see in the area around Tbilisi. The only downside was that it was very hot in the bus.

Bad itinerary , incompetent guide. - A very disappointing experience - a truly unenjoyable tour let down by a terrible itinerary and an incompetent guide.
Firstly, I must stress how bad the itinerary was. The two interesting stops on the tour had way too little time allotted to them.
At the Bodbe monastery we were given 20 - 25 minutes by the guide. Criminal. The monastery and area has so much to offer and this amount of time does not allow for exploration of any of that. What a waste. On Viator it was stated that this stop lasts 50 min - this was not the case.
At Sighnaghi ( excluding the wine tasting ) we spent a total of barely 5 min. I am not exaggerating. We got off the bus and walked for a total of 5 min to the wine tasting. After, we immediately went to the bus. We saw nothing of the city. Absolutely nothing.
I must also mention how poor quality the first wine tasting stop was. The tasting proceeded as follows : We were cattle herded by a guide with a microphone through a warehouse where the wine was stored. The explanations about the wine were inaudible and it was not only our group but an additional 20+ people with us for some reason. Terrible.
The scheduled stop at Badiauri did not take place at all. What ?
Secondly, the guide was incompetent. He provided little to no information either about the itinerary or the history / significance of what we were seeing. He was nice but utterly lacking in knowledge or ability to present information to the group. The whole ride was spent forcibly listening to loud music selected mostly by the guide. Brother, a bit of information, please, this is your job ! I can listen to Spotify on my own. I understand this is not a history tour but this is just low quality guiding.
About the positives. The hotel pick up / drop off was efficient and hassle free. The van was new and comfortable.
Overall : absolutely do not recommend. Don’t hesitate to skip this.
