Best guide in Georgia - Karlo was absolutely incredible. From the moment I contacted him, he was extremely helpful and communicative. We had two full days so he recommend this as one of his favorite day trips. My friend and I had a lot of fun seeing beautiful Georgian landscapes and learning the country’s history. 10/10 recommend.

Successful day trip - An exciting day tour with destinations as diverse as the birthplace of Stalin or the cave town of Upliszike. The highlight for me was the city of Mtskheta with the unique Svetizchoweli Cathedral. Many thanks to my competent guide Givi for a successful day.

Informative day with an enthusiastic guide. - Historical insights from Jaba; driving backroads for a fair amount of the journey rather than the highway, cave town.

Fun private day tour from Tblisi - Karlo arranged for George to be our guide for the day. George was prompt, polite, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his country. He arrived in an immaculately clean and very spacious SUV which my long-legged husband really appreciated. It was a long day (from 10am to just after 7pm) some of which was due to heavy traffic back in Tblisi as we made our way to the Chronicle of Georgia and then to our hotel. Despite what must have been frustrating driving, George remained cheerful and patient. We were impressed! Our day was scheduled so that we went first to Jvari Monastery (lovely and a great view), then to Gori (where we enjoyed viewing Stalin's childhood home and his train, but opted to skip the museum when we learned it was a minimum 45 minutes). After that we went to the "cave town" of Uplistsikhe (where we opted for the wine tasting; this was a great stop). The only issue we had with the tour was due to a miscommunication about when we wanted to eat lunch and we should have eaten at Uplistsikhe. We Americans eat lunch at noon to 1pm, so it was a long time between meals for us. George would have been happy to stop if we'd made that clear and I recommend just telling him upfront when you would like to eat and he'll make it happen. We ate just before Mtskheta, the former capital and its impressive cathedral, then headed back to Tblisi for the Chronicle.
