An experience you can never forget😇 - I wish there was something more than 5 star for this trip experience, Rathi(tour expert) & David(driver) were exceptionally professional and and thorough with their work profile. They went above and beyond to make sure me and my husband had a memorable trip. Rathi is so passionate about sharing his culture and hospitality with tourist, a quality very rare these days. They were extremely accomodating amd open to adjust the day according to us. Rathi has great knowledge of the history and values and would share them with you also he is so keen on learning about different countries and their history amd culture,We had amazing conversation as we share mutual interest of services. I loved the places we visited however this trip is most memorable to me because of these beautiful humans.

One of the best experiences ever - One of the best experiences ever. I booked the tour from Tbilisi to Kazbegi, my tour guide was Rati and David was the driver. both of them made it absolutely memorable for me. Rati was incredibly knowledgeable and a great company to have. one of my highlights of my trip to georgia was the khinkali master class, the locals were so loving and welcoming. the place ofcourse was beautiful and the tour was very well planned. rati even helped take my pictures, which was so nice as I was a solo traveller. i felt very safe and happy, it was all in all one of the best experiences ever.

The best tour company in Georgia! - Easily the best tour guide company in Georgia. I had an amazing time with Zura & Goga who led me on this tour. I booked two full day and one night tour with them and it was the best decision I made going with this company. Zura and Goga delivered a real authentic experience of Georgia with a very personable tour. It honestly felt like I was visiting old friends after a long time. I had a great experience both getting to see the amazing country of Georgia outside of the main city and making lifelong friends. I will definitely re-book when I return!

Fantastic tour company! - I decided last minute to do a tour to Kazbegi. A guide was organised for me & details sorted out with less than 24 hours notice. Communication from the beginning was efficient & professional and at 9am the next morning, my wonderful guide Goga was waiting at the door. The vehicle was very comfortable, my guide had a broad knowledge of the area, history & food/wine and the day was full of interesting sights, beautiful landscapes & great stories. Goga brought along water, home made wine (delicious) & snacks which were all essential along the way. A rain jacket was provided for an unexpected rain shower as well as a great introduction to Georgian music. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone wanting to make the most out if their trip to Georgia!
