Memorable moments with George - We had a wonderful experience exploring Jvari and Mtskheta with George. He was not only knowledgeable and engaging but also made the entire tour fun and memorable. His way of sharing history and stories kept us interested throughout. We started the journey with him as our guide, but by the end, it truly felt like we had gained a friend. The views from top of Jvari is beautiful and the visits to all the monasteries are so enriching and refreshing. The handmade wine ice cream recommended by George is the best you can find in Tbilisi. This tour was a perfect start to our travel in Georgia. Highly recommended!

History brought to life with a knowledgeable guide - We had an excellent tour with George! He was incredibly knowledgeable, and we ended up having fascinating conversations about history, ancient civilizations, politics, and much more. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting all three sites — each one was impressive and rich in historical significance. The tour was well-paced and never felt rushed. George managed the timing perfectly, giving us plenty of free time while still providing insightful and engaging commentary at each stop. A truly memorable experience!
