Great guide - extended tour - Our guide, George, was exceptional. He went above and beyond for us, including a wine-tasting experience as we hadn't had a chance previously, which added an extra hour to the tour. He was knowledgeable and patient and the locations were wonderful to experience.

Great way to see a little more of Tibilisi - George picked us up on time from our hotel. He drove us to three UNESCO listed churches/monasteries and knew all about the history of them. He gave us a lovely tour of Mtskheta and I got to try wine ice cream! We also saw the old Soviet neighborhood and the Chronicles of Georgia monument. We also were treated to a city tour of Tbilisi upon our return. A wonderful day out.

Great experience - I ended up having a private tour with Gogi! He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all my questions. Note that half of this tour you’ll be in the car driving but it’s still worth it to see 3 beautiful sites in half a day!

Amazing Georgia day trip - George (guide and driver) was with us on this trip. The ride was smooth and good and on time. George was very engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. He helped explain everything in detail and also gave Georgian history details. Helped take some pics for us as well. Would definitely recommend him again.

Great Guide…lots of unknown history. - So much unknown history of Georgia in these places we visited. The guide was very knowledgeable. He also gave us time to explore on our own in each section of the tour.

Safe , comfortable and knowledgeable - We had private tour of our family of 4. The price was great , cheap , much cheaper than any other travel company in Georgia. We were in a well maintained minivan. The driver drove extra safe , since we had kids and he was nice to everyone. He knows everything about his country and he is very proud of it and told us everything he knew. Everything was on time and professional. Highly recommend tour and company !!

Didn't show up - They didn't show up, I called and got told that the activity was cancelled... but nobody said anything before! At that moment I got the cancellation message, but my day was ruined. Very bad organisation, there are much more serious providers in Tbilisi.
