If you are planning a trip to Kazbegi, I highly recommend booking this tour! Our journey was absolutely unforgettable, entirely thanks to our incredible guide. She made the entire experience exceptionally interesting, lively, and engaging from start to finish. What really stood out was her flawless ability to switch between English and Russian—our group always understood everything perfectly, and no one felt left out. It was a beautiful, seamless, and deeply memorable adventure. I cannot recommend her highly enough to everyone!
David XIV AXALCIXELI was so helpful and energetic in whole tour. Tour is fantastic.
Definitely recommend this trip had a great time and guide was very friendly
Everything was perfect, organization and timing. The guide David, very friendly, does his best to satisfy you. Good indication for the meeting point and the excursion itself is interesting. Good value for money.
The tour was fantastic. Our guide Georgi was incredibly knowledgeable, made sure everyone was comfortable on the trail, and had an amazing variaty of international music picks that I also enjoyed. Our driver keep us save. The views were breathtaking, and the local history she shared brought the whole region to life. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Georgia!"
Excellent experience. David is a wonderful tour guide. We saw some truly beautiful places and the value for the money is unbeatable. The highlights for me were the Russia - Georgia Friendship Monument and Stepantsminda. Absolutely incredible views. Shout out to David as he is one of the best tour guides I have ever had. My only criticism of the tour would be that we had to spend far too much time at the restaurant. I personally would have rather skipped that part entirely and used that time in Stepantsminda.
The DAVID guide is a great guide with both humor & care & delicacy & kindness. Satisfied.
George was a wonderful guide. great trip with a lot of great photos ;-)
it was an amazing trip all the places we got enough time to be in.
