Intensive day trip to see the most important sights outside of Tbilisi - Intensive day trip to see the most important sights outside of Tbilisi. Combines Mtskheta and Kazbegi (Gergeti church). Kakha was an excellent guide and driver.

Wonderful Day Best Experience - Traffic Travel was the best decision I took for the trip to Gudauri. The tour is as described very friendly, very professional, safe and worthwhile. Our guide Otto was a pleasant guy explained every single bit about the places we visited. We were able to hold conversation with him the entire trip. He spoke very clearly and passionately about the life in Georgia and various other things. After our tour asked him some details about touring the city by ourselves and he gave us some insight into it. Will definitely travel with them again next time and 100% recommend them. Very lucky to have found them.

Memorable, five star experience - I was very impressed with this tour group. As an American, it is hard for me to want to trust tour groups or taxis due to dishonest actions and knowing I have a target on my back. When I was in Tbilisi and Yerevan, there were tour vans on the side of the road. I did not trust them. I went on TripAdvisor and took a chance. What you pay is what you pay. No games were played. Traffic Travel was honest. As for the tour. I had a great guide by the name of Shota who knew his information. I was able to talk with him and hold conversation throughout the trip. There were plenty of sites to see. One of the nice things was the route was arranged where there was things to see throughout the day versus you see everything and then have a quiet 2-3 hour ride back. An example was seeing one site at the start of the day and on the way back seeing the second site. The owner was easy to get a hold of on What’s app. The only thing I would recommend, as a logistical detail, if you are the tourist and stay at an Airbnb and list the closest hotel for pick up, definitely specify that to the owner to eliminate confusion. My driver asked the hotel two blocks from my Airbnb that he was there to pick me up and they correctly told him I was not staying there. Also I would recommend that the driver make contact the day before but to be fair to traffic travel, I also arranged my trip the morning before. These are small details that did not take away from a five star experience. I would go with this travel group again!!!

Amazing tour - We had an amazing time with every place we visited in this tour. Tsotne was a great guide, and the information he shared to us was very well explained and detailed. He was also very patient, and kind, and we had so much fun during the whole trip. It felt like we have a friend in Georgia and he’s showing us around. We give him our 5 stars..

Tsotne, our guide/driver... - Tsotne, our guide/driver made this tour very interesting and enjoyable. Punctual hotel pick-up and fabulous stops along the way. Tsotne went above and beyond to ensure we experienced his beautiful country. In addition to the scheduled stops on the itinerary, he stopped at a little bakery near Ananuri for the most delicious fresh Georgian bread and lunch at a small Georgian restaurant with an assortment of delicious local foods. Tsotne is very knowledgeable & smart, a great conversationist and safe driver. We highly recommend his services and lookk forward to another tour with him in the future.

Best Trip to Kazbegi with Tsotne - My mom and me booked two days tour with Traffic Travel to Kazbegi with an overnight stay in a hotel. Our Guide Tsotne was great, very friendly and very professional. We had perfect day and made many interesting stops in the beautiful mountains. He is also a very good and careful driver, which is very important in Georgia. We felt very safe with him. Tsotne gave us important information, both about Georgia in general, the culture and about our trip. He also showed us the best places to eat. Thank you very much for the best trip ever:) I highly recommend the trip with Tsotne and would definitely book another trip with him next time!

Amazing trip with Traffic Travel - Me and my wife visited Georgia during the Eid holidays in Dubai and what an amazing experience it was thanks to Traffic Travel led by Mr. Tsotne.. He and his team organized two separate tours for us and both were incredibly amazing.. The trip started with an airport pickup which I requested from Tsotne and he arrived at the airport before time to pick us up.. from the beginning I was amazed at not only his knowledge of Georgian culture and history but about things happening outside Georgia as well.. Its super fun to have insightful conversations with him.. On the way to the hotel he gave us a lot of information about the local culture and history, the best restaurants and things to do.. The next day he picked us up from our hotel and took us for the Kazbegi and Gudauri tour and showed us all the amazing spots accommodating all our requests about stops and photos.. he gave us a lot of info on the historic places and the stories behind them.. we had lunch together in Kazbegi where he even explained the tradition behind the authentic Georgian cuisines.. during this trip I requested him for a Kakheti tour as I had a booking in Lopota Lake Resort the next day.. in spite of being busy with all the tourist influx, he organized the tour the next day which was led by his colleague Mr. Oto.. The next day Oto came to pick us up from the hotel along with his friend (I forgot his name).. Oto is really funny and you can have amazing fun fact filled conversations with him as well.. We drove all the way to Kakheti region and had wine tasting session at Shumi Winery - one of the biggest in Georgia.. the highlight of the Kakheti tour was the lunch hosted by a Georgian family (again I forgot his name as I got high with all the wine tastings) and we were amazed with the hospitality, the food and the wine.. we all had lunch together with toasts after which we were dropped off to Lake Lopota Resort.. Overall I cannot recommend Tsotne, Oto and Traffic Travel enough.. they are extremely professional and friendly as well.. they will ensure you are completely comfortable throughout the tours while filling you with all the information about the local history, culture and traditions.. A big thumbs up to the team and I wish to meet them again soon..

Wonderful Itinerary - Beautiful Scenery - We had a great day trip. Our guide and driver were on time and made the trip interesting by giving history and answering questions. The weather did not cooperate so our guide offered us a couple choices. Worked out well and we had a wonderful time. Food was delicious. Our guide earned every one of the 5 stars. Highly recommend this itinerary.

Wonderful day with a knowledgeable tour guide - Tsotne was a wonderful guide and did an excellent job of telling us about Tbilisi, Georgia, and the history of this nation. We had a gorgeous day and spent it at very picturesque locations, with plenty of stops, as needed, and a very tasty, authentic, Georgian lunch. Tsotne also provided us with suggestions for places to eat around Tbilisi, which we quite appreciated, as we love food. After our tour, when I asked him for recommendations for a possible side trip to Azerbaijan, he passed along some information that we hope to use in the near future. I can't say enough about this tour guide or this tour, and would highly recommend both!!
