“Great food and wine tour of the Georgian countryside - Pick up by Luka was on time and well organized. It was nice to be flexible with our stops and move the wine tasting to the end it was less crowded and we felt like we could talk to the tour guide more than if we were mixed with a huge group. We loved seeing the farm for the bread and cheese tasting, the view points were great and Luka made sure to find a certain preserve I was looking for while we were on our tour and I’m so happy to have it. The convent was beautiful and so was Sighnaghi. It made me want to come back to Georgia and explore more small towns and see the countryside. The nature is so beautiful. I highly recommend this tour!” - Reviewed on 2024-04-16

“Georgian wine and countryside tour - I generally do not leave reviews when a tour is acceptable, only when the tour is problematic, but here we have an exception. I booked this private one on one tour not understanding I could be part of a small group instead, but this turned out perfect! Nika was a perfect companion- happy, smart, fine English and understood we should not be doing a run of the mill tour. We made unplanned stops, laughed and shared great music playlists-exactly what I wanted: a non-tour tour!! Thanks Nika- a great experience!!!” - Reviewed on 2024-10-07
