An exciting adventure to one of the most interesting places. It's not often you get such an opportunity to visit such a remote place, with a deep cultural history and incredible surroundings. If you are looking for something more unique and off the beaten track to do, I would highly recommended this trip. Irakli is a well informed tour guide, with lots of interesting facts and took great care of us.
Excellent adventurous trip to a beautiful remote mountain regions. Scenic roads, ancient villages, fantastic views
Amazing view, beautiful architectures. Irakli is so kind and he has a lot of knowledge about history. We had a worthwhile experience. 他では見られない素晴らしい景色や建物をたくさん味わえました。また、イラクリは親切で気が利くので、素敵な経験ができました。ありがとうございました。
Iralki was a fantastic guide, he made everything to ensure that we had a great day, adapting the tour to our time constraints. The car was very comfortable and the driver was excellent. We could have lunch in a fantastic restaurant tasting the best of Georgian food.
Absolutely amazing trip! Fantastic views and experiences, great guiding and driving, excellent food, all in all one of the best tours I have been on. Strongly recommend. It is very rare that you see and do so many awesome things in one day.
Tato was our driver and guide for our day trip We were so lucky with the weather, a blue sky day after recent snow so Javari Pass was spectacular. Tato guided us around the old houses of Mutso and then Shatili. He Is full of interesting knowledge and answered all our questions. Although the dirt roads are very rough, Tato is an excellent driver and his Lexus SUV is super comfortable. Tato was happy to stop for my photos. We had late lunch at a riverside restaurant before returning to Tbilisi. A good end to a wonderful day.
Irakli was a wonderful, kind and knowledgeable guide. We were incredibly lucky to have met him. The drive to Khevsureti is absolutely beautiful, with unique, rugged landscapes. We had good fun meeting donkeys, Georgian mountain dogs, cows and cats. We even learned how to make Khinkalis. Shatili and Mutso are remote, defensive villages that are absolutely unique. The hike up to Mutso gives unrivaled views of the environment. The experience felt authentic and we learned a lot. It is perfect for those interested in history and/or nature. This trip is a hidden gem which more people should experience.
We had a Two day trip with Irakli to Armenia and it was amazing. We stopped by some beautiful sights (Lake Sevan, monasteries, mountain views and a temple) and Irakli was very informative about the history that has transformed Armenia through the years. Two very lovely days!
We highly recommend! Irakli was such a good tour guide, one of the best! We went to Shatili and also included the walk to the Blue Lake. So Stunning!! It is so unique and away from all the many tourists and trucks that we saw on other tours. Irakli was great at explains the history and hit some great pictures. The scenery is the best I’ve seen in Georgia. His driving was also excellent, and not too scary, we did mostly off road and he was very careful. While it was a very long day, Irakli didn’t complain once and the tour was well worth the money :-)
"not too scary" 🥰 I'm happy that you feel safe there 😊 It was nice to discover Khevsureti one more time with you.
it was the most fantastic tour with the most passionate, engaging and friendly guide. Irakli is always there to give you the little extra that makes a tour unique and unforgettable. Shatili and the Khevsureti region are pristine areas, a little off the beaten path, and offer rich history, incredible views and fabulous walks. While the road is not the greatest, it is not as bad as anticipated. Enjoy the best Kinkhalis (the speciality of the region) and many wonderful little surprises all day long. A unique tour that goes way beyond the regular tours!
It's amazing to read whole this text. glad that you were happy.
