I had Temo as a guide. He was very knowlege able and accommodating, due to the early start time I mentioned how I wasn't able to get any breakfast or coffee so he was able to find a convenience store for me to fuel up. One thing I noticed with some of the other guides in Georgia is they give you some history and then leave you alone to wander yourself. This was not the case with Temo which I appreciated, he goes in (and up) so he can point out things you might not notice and explain the history behind them. He'll also stop by the good places to see photos and will take any photos you may want. I was able to ask him a lot of history questions and he'll be as frank with what he knows. You can tell he really cares about his country and making sure people have a good impression of his country and people. He also pays attention a lot so he'll carefully step out of the way when you're taking photos or wait until you wake up to finish giving the history. ( Unfortunately, I get highway hypnosis easily.) During the first day due to some heavy rainfall and us needing to get to Rabati before the castle closed we unfortunately missed Borjomi and the green monetary. But for the second day he was able to give me options of going a new route and seeing the more scenic way back to Tbilisi or to go back so I could see those 2. He won't push you either way, but he'll give you enough information so you can make that decision for yourself. When he dropped me off in Tbilisi, I didn't realize that my guest house was cash only so even though it was late he was kind enough to help bring me to an ATM so I could pay for the guest house. Thank you so much for such an informative trip.
Irakli was the perfect guide for the tour offering his deep insight on all things Georgia from culture to history and more. A wonderful authentic two-day experience including multiple UNESCO World Heritage sites amid breathtaking views.
