Natalia did a great job! This is an 11 hour day.... but totally, totally worth it. The natural beauty of this country is AMAZING!! I mean.... wow. They highlight some amazing parts that you HAVE to see if you come to Georgia. Natalia was our Tour Guide. She provided us with great Georgian music.... gave us history lessons, explained what we were seeing, helped us through lunch and did an amazing overall job. Hopefully you will get her as your Tour Guide as well!
Dimitri and Spartake were both excellent guides throughout. They were friendly and knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. Many thanks Sue and Jon
"Our tour guide, Misho, was very professional and a lot of fun. The time passed very quickly, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour."
It is wonderful the views are stunning but the worst is the road. Driver way is hazardous for this kind of road. And the restaurant is not very good and little bit expensive.
Wonderful tour at an attractive price! Well organized, clear instructions, all on time. Interesting trip program. A very nice girl guide - Marie. Friendly, with interesting stories about Georgian history and sights. Patiently answered all questions of the band both on tour and generally helped us with vacation tips in Georgia. We had a very pleasant day, recommend it 100%!
A 100% recommended experience, economical, spectacular views, and Sandro was very pleasant and attentive; everything was quite smooth and uncomplicated.
The tour was exceptional. The places definitely had some breathtaking views but the group tour experience was equally good. Our tour guide Sandro was wonderful, he was friendly and helpful. The vehicle was also good. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend it to friends/ family visiting Georgia.
Long drive but great views. Photo stops are quite brief, so I would recommend staying over in stephansminda for a night and do some hiking
We loved our enthusiastic friendly guide. She was informative, well paced and kept the day running smoothiy
The minibus had too many people. There wasn’t much space/legroom and I was in a lot of discomfort on the rerun leg. The guide was disinterested and aloof which created a poor atmosphere. The driver was erratic and I didn’t fell safe. The honey tasting was a tourist trap, with expensive “raspberry honey” (honey with raspberry flavouring.). The tour is not an experience I wish to repeat!
