An excellent tour - thoroughly recommended! - This was an excellent tour from the punctual beginning to the end of the day. Nicko is a very attentive and empathetic tour guide, making sure at every stage of this tour that we were comfortable and enjoying the incredible sights of Georgia. He is also a very skilled driver. Nicko also found a lovely restaurant in Gori, beautifully decorated for the festive season and serving good, wholesome Georgian fare. It was a super day, one that will remain in our memories for a considerable amount of time. Madloba Nicko!

Absolutely Memorable! - After six years, we finally get the opportunity to return to Georgia. Our recent journey to Georgia has increased our appreciation for the country's beauty. Karlo, our tour guide, demonstrated exceptional responsiveness and punctuality, as well as extensive knowledge of the historical sites we visited.We not only learnt a lot on this tour, but we also became more interested in Georgia's rich history, deeply embedded culture, and traditions. As a result, we highly suggest this tour and Karlo as an excellent tour guide.

Great day out - We had a wonderful experience with Karlo. He arrived to pick us up exactly on time in a clean and comfortable car. We had a great tour of Mtskheta, Jvari, Uplistsike and Chronicle of Georgia. Karlo was kind enough to take our pictures (great photos ) and recommended good spot to take photos. He had a lot of history knowledge and was pleasant to talk to. Would very much recommend this private tour.

Awesome experience - Highly worth going on this private tour - we explored the ancient cave town and saw many historical and cultural sites during this tour. Having Nika as our guide and driver also made this whole tour very enjoyable! He was on time for our pickup and communication was seamless throughout the booking and going on this private tour. It’s definitely worth the price for a private tour.

Stunning Scenery, Brilliant guide Grigori. - Our guide, Giorgi, was amazing. He was more than happy to accommodate anything we needed and made our day a memorable one. His knowledge was outstanding, and he made sure we visited some beautiful locations not advertised. I would suggest booking this tour and requesting Giorgi as your guide. You won't regret it.

Memorable Trip - We booked a private trip and were lucky to have Karlo as our guide. My son had sustained a knee injury from football just prior to our Georgia trip. Karlo took this into account making sure he had a more spacious car and he didn’t have to walk or climb too much; at the same time making sure the rest of us still had plenty of activities. We were picked up at our hotel, and visited the Chronicles of Georgia, Jvari Monastery and the confluence of the two rivers (Kura and Aragvi), Uplistsike caves & (optional) wine tasting, (optional) Stalin’s house in Gori and museum, Svetiskhoveli Cathedral in Mtskheta (old capital) & marketplace. We have gained a lot of information about Georgian history as well. Thank you Karlo for considering all of our needs and giving us a memorable day (for all the right reasons) and good memories to look back on with all the lovely photos and videos.
