Pros * Great selection of locations with delicious local wines. * The travel time from Tbilisi is very reasonable. * Comfortable, modern bus with air conditioning. * Plenty of beautiful scenic spots for photos. * Good opportunities to buy local souvenirs. * The guide was knowledgeable and shared interesting information. * The group size was just right and did not feel overcrowded. Suggestions for Improvement * It would be helpful if the guide introduced himself at the beginning of the tour, as well as the driver. Sharing a contact phone number would also make communication much easier if anyone needed assistance during the day. * A more detailed itinerary and clearer communication throughout the tour would help guests understand what to expect and avoid feeling uncertain about the schedule. * Better communication regarding optional activities and their prices would improve the experience. For example, at the bakery stop, it would have been useful to mention beforehand that the bread-making activity costs 5 GEL, allowing guests to decide in advance whether they wished to participate. * It’s impressive that the guide speaks multiple languages. However, switching frequently between languages sometimes made it difficult to follow the explanations, and occasionally parts of the information seemed to be lost when returning to a previous language. Perhaps grouping information by language, where practical, could make the experience smoother for everyone. Overall 4.5/5 I would definitely recommend this tour. It’s an enjoyable full-day experience for families, couples, or anyone visiting Georgia. The combination of excellent wine, beautiful Kakheti landscapes, welcoming people, and opportunities to learn more about Georgian culture makes it a memorable trip. The guide was knowledgeable and clearly put a lot of effort into making the experience enjoyable. I hope these comments are taken as small ideas that could improve communication and make the tour even more enjoyable for future gues…
We enjoyed our trip with Patva!
Very good experience. Giorgi is an amazing guide!
Our experience was good, we saw interesting activities and places. Only drawbacks: The pickup place was wrong on the map and we were stressed to find it. The bus then came 20 minutes late. The restaurant in Sighnaghi was a disaster, just skip and walk in town.
Guide was great, continuously telling history of Georgia and kakheti region. Breakfast was good. Overall good day trip to the region. No grape farm visit only wine tasting.
Thank you very much for such a wonderful day tour. Everything was great! Comfortable, friendly and incredibly beautiful! F Wine, honey, cheese tasting. Master class in making churchela. Thank you! For impressions only to you!
