“Greatest tour guide ever - The greatest tour of my life! Soso made things very easy to schedule and Lasha was extremely friendly, funny, and knowledgeable about everything related to Georgia and beyond. I did a solo tour which resulted in a very flexible agenda, which included joining up with another group for rafting along one of the rivers in northern Georgia. We were able to go close to the Georgia-Russia border and also had 5-6 other stops throughout the day, resulting in a 12 hour tour. Lasha is an amazing person and tour guide and I will absolutely come back to Georgia at some point based on my experience with him. Highly recommend!!” - Reviewed on 2023-08-16
