Great private tour of surroundings of Tbilisi - Our driver and guide, Nika, was excellent. This is a great way to see the sites nearby Tbilisi and learn more about the country. Having a private tour allowed us to go at our own pace. We really enjoyed the caves but everything on this itinerary is interesting.

The best guide we could wish for! - Racho was the best guide I could wish for. Due to the hot weather, it was better for me and my son to skip visiting Uplistsikhe. But due to all the stories, talks we had about Georgia, and beautiful places where we had stopped too, I absolutely did not mind missing out on Uplistsikhe. Thank you so much for this wonderful day Racho. We will remember this for a long time! 🇬🇪🙏🏻

Poignant and historic visit. - Gio my guide for the day was extremely knowledgable, he arranged the tour perfectly around the heat of the day. The scenic route he took was beautiful. Great tour of some of the oldest and most poignant places not far from the city. Great bit of history. The cave town is a great stop but is a bit of a hike to see all of it so have this in mind. Don’t forget dress codes for the church’s be respectful no shorts, no vest tops and a head covering for ladies i have carried a t shirt and scarf with me so i could just don when required.

See the Amazing historical sites of Tbilisi with Gary! - Gary provided a top notch tour and we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Tblisi! He was punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, and had great local recommendations. We learned so much about Georgian history and culture from him. Well worth the price and we would definitely tour with him again on our next trip to Georgia!

Nice way to see sights near Tbilisi - This trip was great to see a lot of important sights not far from Tbilisi! Our guide Pacha was very nice and prompt, and resourceful in rearranging the itinerary for the very rainy start we had to the day. Driving was a bit aggressive so be aware if you are an anxious passenger!
