Amazing experience - This was definitely my highlight of the visit. Jvari Monastery from 6th century and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral (where the robe of Jesus is buried). These 2 monuments are super amazing. the view of the lake from the top of the mountain, the atmosphere inside the 2 churches are super amazing experience i will never forget this experience. So good to visit and experience what first Christianity looked like. Thanks to Giorgi for making all these arrangement and telling us details about this historical places

Excellent - Giorgi has a way of telling stories of the places you visit that captivates you! He makes sure you understand the history of the monument or place and gives you time to breathe in the environment. He is an excellent tour guide

Wonderful City Tour - We had a tiring but wonderful full day walking tour. Mr George brought us to the right places to have some stunning views. We had a great time exploring the city. We never seemed to be rushed at any of the sites we visited. Really appreciated. Excellent.
