Fantastic food and well timed for maximum enjoyment - The food choices and timing in between were well spaced so you could enjoy each item and the atmosphere of each unique space. Luka, our guide, was very knowledgeable and personable sharing a lot about the food and culture more broadly as well as accomodating food preferences/requirements. The tour was fantastic and I highly recommend it.

Highly recommend!!! - What a perfect way to enter a city you’ve never been to. Our guide, Luka, was knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to hang out with. A tour not only the food of this lovely city but also a historical tour. Can’t recommend more highly.

An Amazing Tour! - To call this a food tour is a misnomer. Yes, we ate a lot of fabulous food. But it’s also a historical and cultural tour of this fascinating city of Tbilisi and of the country of Georgia. Luka was one of the best guides I’ve ever had, and that’s saying a lot because we do food tours in every city we visit. He was warm, knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, thorough, charming, and fed us until we could barely move. This was truly a memorable day for us and it is all thanks to Luka.

Great food tour - This was a great food tour! Luca shared a lot of stories and histories about Georgian food and took us to small places that I would never have found on my own. I appreciated learning about the country through the lens of food and food culture. Of course, the food was delicious and no one left hungry :D We were a small group too, which made the tour more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The Must-Do Introduction to Georgian Cuisine - Luka is an excellent host and guide with a copious amount of knowledge on his beautiful country of Georgia/Sakartvelo. This is a must-do tour in the first 48 hours of your trip because Luka will introduce you to the staple cuisine of his country. Of note he taught us about the history of Khinkali, a savory dumpling - like dish that is popular throughout Georgia. This became my go - to dish at every one of my meals after in Georgia. Later, Luka brought us to ChaCha corner to try the staple liquor of Georgia - Chacha. After we continued our working tour and ended the tour at a beautiful restaurant where we tried Gold Wine and more Georgian dishes.
Throughout the tour Luka was very accommodating, knowledgeable, and personable. I will recommend him and his tour to all future travelers to Georgia/Sakartvelo. Thank you, Luka!

Delicious and informative food tour - We had an excellent food tour with Giorgi. He was able to adjust our tour to vegetarian and we still got to try almost 25 local dishes. I would highly recommend this experience as a way to get introduced to the food of Georgia.
