Day Tour Tbilisi – Ananuri – Kazbegi – Tbilisi
Description
Caucus Mountains beauty and rich history of the region. The Gergeti Trinity Church was built in the 14th century by an unknown architect, and is the only cross-cupola church in Khevi province. The separate bell tower dates from the same period as the church itself, but built somewhat later. Its isolated location on top of a steep mountain surrounded by the vastness of nature has made it a symbol for Georgia. The 18th century Georgian author Vakhushti Batonishvili wrote that in times of danger, precious relics from Mtskheta, including Saint Nino's Cross were brought here for safekeeping. During the Soviet era, all religious services were prohibited, but the church remained a popular tourist destination. The church is now an active establishment of the Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church.

Mazal tov!!!!!
Nicholas / Nico was our driver and guide during our tour to the Khaketi region of Georgia. Our experience with Nicholas as our guide was exceptional from start to finish. He contacted us the day before to confirm our meeting time, ensuring everything ran smoothly from the outset. Nicholas was not only warm and kind but also provided us with a comprehensive perspective of Georgia, its diverse regions, and in-depth insights into the Kakheti region and Georgia's wine-making traditions. Despite my knee injury, which I had informed him about beforehand, Nicholas adeptly adjusted the tour to accommodate my needs without missing any of the key sights. Nicholas's assessment of my injury was astute, allowing me to enjoy the wall of Signagi with his encouragement. Throughout the tour, Nicholas actively engaged with us, sharing fascinating details about Georgia, the Kakheti region, its rich wine culture, and Signagi itself. His enthusiasm and knowledge made the tour not only informative but also highly enjoyable, leaving us with lasting memories. We wholeheartedly recommend Nicholas as a guide for anyone exploring Georgia. His professionalism, empathy, and dedication to ensuring a memorable experience truly set him apart. Thank you Nicholas !
The view was 💯superb. The place where you want everything to stop and just relax. I can't wait to go back again! Thanks to Niko for bringing us always to the cool places. You are amazing! Also thanks for taking care of us whenever we are in Georgia. A tour guide turns a friend🙂
Nika is just simply amazing. It was a last tour minute decision and he accomodates all of our needs and took us to breath taking places in Georgia. I highly recommend Nika 😇 he is also eloquent, funny and kind.
We went on a private trip from Tbilisi to Yerevan with Nik. Nik is a very nice person and a very good driver (which is quite important since traffic in Georgia and Armenia can be crazy :-D). Nik owns a comfortable big car with WiFi access. We definitely recommend to book a tour with Nik.
Had booked Niki as driver and Guide during our weeks stay in Georgia. Would like to thanks nick for everything. His knowledge about all the places, his help to get the best restaurants, his eagerness to go out of the way to ensure that kids had the fun, his concern for us, well the list is long. He is a complete Guide plus driver. He ensures we learn about the country and the history, he helps in local language with the locals when needed.. to the extend that I have asked 4-5 of my family friend to be helped as Driver/Guide and never once did anyone have any complaint. Very highly recommended by us. If you not interested only in a driver/guide but someone who understands your need and does that extra mile to just ensure that you get the best, pls reach out to him Thanks Niki
It was the most wonderful trip! The perfect air, breathtaking beauty, majestic mountains, ancient churches and fortresses, amazing cuisine, divine wines, centuries-old history, kindness and hospitality, absolute happiness and love! It is all about Georgia! And all this was shown to us by our wonderful tour guide and just a cool guy Nika! He is really the best guide you could possibly get ever, he is knowledgeable, goes well beyond and above to make sure your experience is memorable. He is also a very skilled photographer! We had a very interesting route. It feels like Nika loves his country very much! And now we are in love with Georgia too! Nika, thank you so much!
Awesome places to visit. Especially the Chronicles of Georgia and a lot more!!! Very friendly tour guides and one of the best experience ever!
It was our wonderful, emotional, family trip. Everything was very comfortable and interesting. My 9-year-old daughter remembers the stories and parables that Niko told during excursions. We plan to come again.
Спасибо вам большое! Всегда ждём в гости 🙂
