Additional Information
The Northern Gateway of Georgia, a place also referred to as Kazbegi Mountain, is a town nestled in a valley and is known for the iconic hilltop silhouette of the Holy Sameba Church. From the west, the imposing snowy cone of Mt. Kazbek can be seen. Despite its official name being Stepantsminda, it is still widely recognized as Kazbegi, serving as a wonderful base for hikers.
Each season offers its distinct charm. In Winter, the mountains are blanketed in deep snow. During Spring and Summer, the landscape transforms into a lush green adorned with various flowers. Autumn paints the forests in a plethora of colors. Visiting Georgia for the first time is a truly unique experience thanks to these spectacular displays of nature.

Great! - We absolutely loved the tour. Not only it was very informative, but also done in the way of the open conversation. Kakha is very interesting and intelligent guide who is open to discussing not only the sights on the tour but all the aspects of life in Georgia. He was very flexible with changing the route according to our expectations (we did let know in advance). And have to mention - very good driver, which is important on mountain roads.

Experience the most beautiful parts of Georgia with a great guide - I had a chance to take this tour with Khaka and it comes with my highest recommendations. The views along the way are incredible and you get a true sense of Georgia outside of Tbilisi as well as experience the Caucasus mountains. Khaka is a great guide who speaks fluent English, has a comfortable car and truly ensures his guests have a comfortable experience including little extras like snacks/water and ensuring the music in the car is to everyone's liking. If you are looking for a great tour to get a sense of Georgia with a great guide - this should be your choice.

One of our highlights in Georgia! - Super fun and informative! Views were breathtaking and we learnt a lot about the Georgian history.
But more importantly, Kakha is the best. He's so knowledgeable, attentive, ready to answer any question, humorous (but not overly excited which is the best level of energy for us), and most of it all, he's extremely kind. In a day we've experienced the true and heartwarming Georgian hospitality from Kakha, and we couldn't be more grateful! At the end of the tour, we were saying bye to a dear friend. A must-do in Georgia, especially during Covid times when things are more uncertain, we have no doubt Kakha and his team will be able to cater and support in numerous ways. Wish we had more time to explore the rest of Georgia with Kakha. Garmajos!

great service - My group of ten coordinated with Restingeorgia for one day tour. A special thanks to our guide Kakha who made our tour excellent. We enjoyed kakha so very much, he is an exemplary guide and has a fun and easy personality to fit in with any group of tourists. Kakha went out of his way to show us special details and he is a wealth of knowledge. I'd recommend Kakha and restingeorgia for any tour coordination, they will be well-liked by anyone. We hope to see you soon our new friend.

Wonderful trip to Georgia😍 - I had a wonderful time in Georgia!
Excellent day tour from Tiblisi with a nice combination of culture, history and natural heritage.
Kakha was very pleasant and informative. I felt I had made new friend at the end of my tour😊I was quite sad to be saying goodbye.
This was the second time that we used Restingeorgias service and we highly recommend him!

incredible, unforgettable, spectacular scenery! - It was an unforgettable day. at first we thought that the second-time Kazbegi region will not be as attractive but we were wrong. Gveleti Waterfall was amazing. The mountain scenery was spectacular and this tour provided a great glimpse of why places like the Gergeti monastery are seen on the pages of National Geographic. Kakha is extremely knowledgeable, kind and flexible. I absolutely recommend going on this tour

Many wonderful things, I just got distracted with a horse - I think the best part for me was the horseback riding. Never done it in my life and I was just super pumped about it! It was as if I finally fulfilled in being a cowboy. Kakha was an amazing guide, not only was he very sarcastic but hes full of history. Really enjoyed learning about surrounding areas and culture.

Great day with Kakha - I had a wonderful day with Kakha. I really enjoyed this opportunity to break out of Tbilisi into the mountains. The scenery is spectacular; mountains and valleys. Kakha knows everything about Georgian history and places. He is professional, friendly and make you feel like home.
