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.

Great day trip - Relaxing day trip set to your own pace (private). The guide was wonderful and she was even able to give me a few tips for chocolate shopping.

Nice trip to amazing Georgian locations - This was a nice day long expedition with George to some of the amazing locations in Georgia. We were initially surprise to see George in place of Karlo but it turned out to be a pleasant one as George was cheerful and friendly. He told animated stories about Georgia excitedly though we would have loved to hear more about the locations we visited. Overall a memorable experience for us.

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!

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)
