Uplistsikhe Caves was the primary focus; Stalin in Gori curious cult museum - In at last minute desire to see these sites in a 1/2 day tour and after telephoning several Trip Advisor leads, Georgian Holidays answered and immediately addressed our needs and desires. The English speaking driver was courteous, knowledgeable, a safe driver and professional in all respects. He conducted the tour of the Uplistsikhe Caves and at the Stalin Museum engaged the best English speaking guide familiar with the items in this cult figure collection. He returned us to Tbilisi in time for our evening engagement.
