Experiential Georgia Travel with Glad Travels

The tour with Glad travel till date has been my best experiential travel. Levani is the most professional tour operator i have ever met. His knowledge and ethics are something you would rarely come across. You literally travel with the eyes of a local and not as a tourist. Georgia has so much to offer as a country, but having the right operator is very important. I had referred Levani to my friends and they would share the same amazing experience that i have had. You get to experience not just landscapes of Georgia which are varied, but even the amazing culture, food that the country has to offer. I can very well recommend Levani who runs Glad travels to anyone for a experential tour.

Excellent Introduction to Georgia!

This was our first trip to Georgia and we loved it! Levan was our tour guide and he was very accommodating and knowledgeable. We were traveling with our four year old, and Levan helped adjust our itinerary to suit our needs. This tour specifically is very beautiful and Levan’s knowledge made it even more fascinating. The day we traveled to Kazbegi, it was snowing, but Levan masterfully and safely took us to all the sights and took his time to explain the history behind the beautiful friendship wall monument, churches, and mountainside of Georgia. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch full of local dishes and cuisine. We cannot recommend this tour enough! We look forward to booking more sightseeing in Georgia and meeting Levan again.

Excellent and a Must Do Experience.

"An Unforgettable Journey through the Georgian Mountains" Our private tour with Levan was an absolute highlight of our trip to Georgia. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands. His knowledge of the region, coupled with his passion for sharing its beauty, made the experience truly special. The journey through the stunning Caucasus Mountains was breathtaking, with each stop more picturesque than the last. Levan's insights into the history and culture of the region added depth to our understanding and appreciation of the places we visited. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the Gergeti Trinity Church, perched high above the valley. The views were simply awe-inspiring. Levan's guidance and support made the hike to the church a memorable adventure. We highly recommend Levan's tour to anyone visiting Georgia. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and dedication to providing an unforgettable experience make him an exceptional guide.
