Recommended - excellent tour - Excellent tours with Karlo. Karlo was a very good driver. We felt very safe with him. He was really friendly, funny and took very good photos for us! Communication was very good before the tours. We had plently of time at each of the stops. We didn't feel rushed at all. Karlo accompanied us to the points of interest on the tour, gave us brief interesting history and then gave us free time for photos. Highly recommended!

Nice full-day tour - Salome picked us right from AirBNB in mid-morning and guided us for a full day tour through the Georgian historical and cultural heritage. We had a stop at Jvari fortress and church located at the top of a cliff over the two rivers junction. Then we drove to the ancient Uplistsike cave town with its' halls and tunnels carved right into the rock. Then we had a shorter stop in Gori to see Stalin's museum. Another long stop was in Mtskheta - the ancient capital with a major historical Svetitskhoveli cathedral. Salome adviced us on the Georgian cuisine and brought us to a small local restaurant to taste lobio and khinkali. She was very nice and freindly - as she helped us with other local specialities and souvenirs and told us some stories about the life in Georgia in the past and now - beyond the things you could learn from a textbook.

Stalin Museum, Gori, Mtskheta, Chronicles of Georgia - My Husband and I had the best time with George. We were looked after from start to finish and made feel very comfortable and welcome. George was super friendly and knowledgeable about each location we visited. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the main attractions outside Tblisi! He also has great recommendations for places to eat too, just ask!

Learn about History and Culture with a great guide! - We had an amazing trip led by our guide Ako. He was incredibly knowledgable and brought Georgian history alive! He was punctual and a safe driver. Nothing was too much effort and he was very flexible with the tour itinerary. Ako really cares about his clients and he gave us an unique tour - by introducing us to Georgians we found out much out about the country and culture. I really recommend this tour - make sure you ask for Ako, as you won't get anyone better!

Insightful day trip with amazing tour guide - A wonderful day trip to get a first impression of the beauty of Georgia. Our tour guide Nick was fabulous, a young and dynamic Georgian who provided excellent information on each site and answered our endless questions about all we saw on the road. Nick also immediately bonded with our teenage son over joint interests in sports, especially football, and other topics which made the day for our son. The drive was comfortable and due to interesting conversations it passed far too quickly. We can highly recommend Nick as a tour guide, especially if you travel with children and/or have in-depth interest in flora and fauna of Georgia. We will certainly ask for Nick as our guide on our next trip.

Well planned tour but not so good guide/driver - We , as two senior couples, had gone on a private tour end of sep 2024. Whilst I would recommend the tour since it covers all the important ploces. However, I would not recommend the Driver, George, who accompanied us for following reasons: 1. He turned up half an hour late to pick us up. 2. The first two destinations were Jvari and Uplistsike. He brifed us during the drive but did not accompany us to the actual location; preferring to sit in the car parking and asking us to just follow other visitors. He acted more as an English speaking driver than a guide. Only after my pointing out to him that all other groups are accompanied by Guide providing intricate details as well as helping the guests in difficult terrain; did he join us for next two destinations. My recommendation is that you should check out the guide before joining this trip ( I had requested Karlo to accompany us personally but he regretted)
