I will especially thanks our All-in-One Mr Kakha who drove us to all scenic places/spots, provided amazing historical information/knowledge and good advices on places to visit, Georgian food and activities. He speaks English fluently and was our translator, photographer, radio jockey and Free Internet Provider.. 😊. He ensured all photos reached to you. He is kids friendly, humble person with a good attitude. Highly recommended to all travellers.

A trip to remember with a great host - We visited Gudauri and Kazbegi from Tbilisi. Kakha drove us there and back and showed us a number of really interesting spots on the way as well as some great Georgian food. Kakha was a great host, very engaging, knowledgeable and always on time. We would highly recommend his services to others looking to explore Georgia.

Amazing day trip, not to be missed - We had an awesome experience with Kakha. He is an excellent guide, very safe driver and amazing company. He took us to all the beautiful spots on the way to Gudauri, and even in Gudauri we enjoyed a lot. He was at the hotel on time. Very highly recommended.

My short but incredibly colorful journey through Georgia was made possible thanks to an excursion with a personal guide. From the very beginning - My short but incredibly colorful journey through Georgia was made possible thanks to an excursion with a personal guide. From the very beginning I was impressed by the comfortable transfer from the hotel. Traveling through the countryside turned out to be a real discovery. I was especially impressed by the view of the Gudauri Mountains and the visit to the monastery. All this in one day is an excellent choice for those who want to see the most in a short time. Thank you so much for the bright emotions!

The best driver in amazing and beautiful country. - An amazing experience, well worth doing. Especially with Kakha. He is an excellent driver, video maker, tour guide (he knows all the details of history and monuments) and has a very good taste in music. The best playlist. During the entire trip we had free internet, which helped a lot to be able to stay in touch with friends and send photos almost immediately. The fact that he speak English very well made all the difference. I recommend it to all travelers.

Georgia trip - A trip to a place is eat enjoyed when you are in the company of a local person who can guide you and help you feel at ease in the country. This was the best part of our trip to Georgia when we had the company of Kaaka. From his detailed and patient description of the places to his personal effort in ensuring that we cover every extra bit possible of the country within the tour, he made this trip truly Memorable. Thank you Kaaka!!

Commendable Tour Guide - Kaxa is a knowledgeable and incredibly amiable tour guide. We only had one day with him, but it was one to cherish. Definitely will contact him again whenever we come back to Georgia. He will show you the best spots in the place, recommend good restaurants, and do his best to guarantee that you will enjoy your travel with ease. He drives safely too. All you need to do is to relax and enjoy the day.

Best way to experience Georgia - We went on a tour for 4 days to various places around Georgia based in Tbilisi, including Kazbegi, Vardzia, Borjomi and Kakheti. Kakha always made sure our itinerary was extremely varied and made a real effort to ensure we could experience as much as possible. He was also very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and regularly pointed out interesting sights and made suggestions of points of interest which we would never have thought of ourselves, such as the Gveleti waterfall, and helped intersperse our journeys to different parts of Georgia with lots of engaging information about the regions of the country. The lunch in a local family's house was a particular highlight. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend using Kakha to get the most out of your trip.
