i had a perfect trip，since i am the only one，they still arrange the trip and the guider Tornike tell me many history，thanks very much。
Historically exciting and recommended: We visited four beautiful churches, moving from one romantic hill to the next, partly in enchanted locations. You are driven around, the two guides were very motivated, and I had a lot of fun.
This was a great short guided tour taking in the sights and the history of the Monasteries. Lasha provided in depth information around history and religion, answering all of my questions, it was well organised, the vehicle was comfortable.
Giorgi R did an amazing job narrating the stories that make these sites so special. He was also very knowledgeable upon kutaisi and gave stellar recommendations.
Very good tour with guide Saba – beautiful monasteries with interesting histories. Motsameta was the highlight. These locations are not far from Kutaisi, so it's a short but very interesting tour. Recommend!
Comfortable, stops at each of the places, explains and leaves you time to take pictures, even takes them himself.
Really liked visiting monasteries and church in Kutaisi. Beautiful places. The Connoisseur Guide answered all our questions.
The guide was excellent. We learned loads about Georgian history and the current situation in Georgia.
Interesting half-day tour. Very nice places to visit and great guides. The guides were very good, helpful, friendly and explained well the history of the country and the sites of interest visited.
I really enjoyed this group tour! The guide was personable and informative, and he was even willing to stay over the allotted time to answer our questions/allow us to take pictures. I did wish we were able to see more of the Gelati Monastery (there’s a lot of renovation scaffolding no right now), but, overall, I would recommend this tour.
