Lika turned out to be an excellent guide. She took the time to translate and speak in Spanish all the explanations she gave us, and she was very discreet, never asking where we were from or what we were doing in our country, etc., unlike most guides who want to know how long we've been there and try to sell us other tours. Her explanations were concise and sufficient. She delivered on everything she promised. She was also an excellent driver; she deserves a ten out of ten.
Tamara was a great driver and guide! She brought me to all the necessary places and was able to adjust the tour for me to go to the Stalin Museum in Gori. She also brought me to the best food - Gori beef cutlet which was delicious. Thanks!
We had a great day with our guide Tamara, exploring the area around Tbilisi. She was friendly and knowledgeable, teaching us a lot about Georgian culture and history. Tamara also showed us a few local delicacies at lunch in Gori - we had an excellent time and highly recommend!
Ditto was a fabulous guide! Extremely knowledgeable about everything—culture, history, food, wine. Excellent communication. Very accommodating as to what we wanted to spend more time on, and organizing the day so that the weather changes would be less impactful. Very comfortable vehicle. Great suggestion for a lunch option. A great tour with a great guide! We learned so much about Georgia!
We booked the Mtskheta – Jvari – Uplistsikhe – Chronicle of Georgia PRIVATE tour with Tamara as our guide, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our time in Georgia. From the first minute, everything felt easy and well organized. She arrived exactly on time, the car was clean and comfortable, and the whole day flowed naturally without ever feeling rushed or overly scripted. What made the experience special was not just the places themselves, but the way Tamara brought them to life. At Jvari Monastery, overlooking the rivers and mountains, she explained the history and religious significance in a way that was actually interesting and easy to follow. In Mtskheta, walking through the ancient streets and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral felt much more meaningful because of the context and stories she shared. Uplistsikhe was incredible. Seeing an ancient rock-cut city carved into the cliffs already feels surreal, but having someone knowledgeable explain how people actually lived there completely changed the experience. The Chronicle of Georgia was the perfect ending to the day. The monument itself is massive and impressive, but Tamara made sure we understood the symbolism, the history behind it, and gave us enough time to simply enjoy the atmosphere and views over Tbilisi. What stood out most was her personality. Warm, intelligent, patient, and genuinely passionate about Georgia. She never rushed us, answered every question, helped with photos, recommended local food, and somehow managed to make the entire day feel more like traveling with a knowledgeable friend than being on a tour. You can tell she truly cares that people leave Georgia understanding and appreciating the country, not just taking pictures of it. If you are visiting Tbilisi and want a private tour that combines history, culture, scenery, and real human warmth, I would absolutely recommend Tamara without hesitation.
Great to have a private tour with Tamara. Your guide was flexible and accommodating.
Great way to see parts of Georgia outside of Tbilisi. Jvari monastery was wonderful to see overlooking Mtskheta, and the Uplistsike caves were really interesting. Highlight was finishing with the chronicles of Georgia - such a great experience and the sky cleared perfectly on our arrival for great photographs! Definitely a tour worth booking - we had a great guide called Ako who gave great insights and history of each landmark.
We had a private driver, Beriska, and he made everything to make us feel great. The car was super comfortable and the visits really worth, the Chronicles are a must and the Uplistsike archeological site just a total incredible experience. If you have an extra day in Tiblisi you just can't miss. Beriska our guide was just great!
Our tour guide Niko was amazing. We had a great tour and he was super knowledgeable and friendly. Absolutely would recommend
We had a beautiful day with our excellent guide Akaki Chubinidze. He was very knowlegeable and pleasant and his English was very good as well.
