Mamia was phenomenal guide who gave us proper Georgian experiance. He took us to all the top sites, stopping at a few shops, wineries and even guided us to an authentic dinner locarion. His extensive knowladge made him the perfect guide for us! Highly recommend !
We had the most fantastic tour, Tamari our guide was really knowledgeable and brought the mountains of Kazbegi to life. It was so interesting learning the stories behind the centuries and certainly opened my eye to look around and spot the minor details as well
Levan was simply amazing! This wasn't our first time in Georgia, so Levan took us to places we would never otherwise have had the opportunity to see. The tour was very well planned and adjusted on our requests. Mamia was very helpful to customize the tour last minute. Levan took us to Gudauri and Kazbegi. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Thank you so much, We will definately book again!
Our tour was incresible. Our guise, Mamia was sinply amazing. Took great care of us with amazing site stops ,loads of information during the tour as well as tons of additional information afterwards to help us with our trip to Kazbegi, he was so kind to myself.

It was full day tour, full of amazing moments. Kazbegi is must see location for first time visitor, It was my first time in Georgia and guide made it very memorable. Thank you.
Goege was very good. He stopped on all points and gave us proper history. He went out of his way to customise our travel according to our flight timings too. Really loved the whole journey.
Giorge is excellent. He connected with us before our arrival, customised our plan and gave us a tour to remember. Totally worth it.
Visiting Kazbegi was like stepping into a postcard! The landscape is surreal rugged peaks, lush valleys and the iconic Gergeti Trinity Church overlooking it all. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the region’s history and local traditions, which made the trip feel very personal and immersive. The hike to the monastery was challenging but absolutely worth it for the panoramic views of Mount Kazbek. We also had the chance to interact with locals in nearby villages, giving a genuine feel of mountain life in Georgia.
