Very original and pleasant tour. You go to places you wouldn't otherwise go alone. This will give you a picture of Georgie's recent past and teach you how to hold power in the country. The guide also has his own life story which also makes it fascinating and original. Highly recommended and one of the highlights of our trip in Georgie Tblisi.
A truly wonderful experience. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing stories and insights that brought everything to life. He even brought his guitar and sang traditional Georgian songs in the most beautiful voice — such a special touch. The whole trip felt personal, warm and completely unique. It was less like being on a tour and more like travelling with family. Highly recommend.

A very unusual topic and interesting angle, part of the story that is often omitted . Thank you very much to our guide Lasha for the new experience!

Went along to this, not knowing what to expect, but it was super interesting as both a cultural tour and off the beaten track topic. Lasha is a stellar guide and highly recommend him for this in Tbilisi or up in the mountains.
