Gia was extremely helpful and showed us the hidden gems of both canyons and Prometheus cave. By far the best guided tour in a long while. I highly recommend it, make sure you book with him!
Gia was very professional and kind! You can tell she loves her profession. He's the best!! Neautiful, exciting places—a real adventure.
Megobari tours, a company own by a young entrepenurial woman, Mariami..She was a brilliant guide, she clearly puts her heart and passion into the tours. She loves the sights and os so full of warmth and enthusiasm. She added so much knowledge from her academic background and research, not solely on the sights but also on Georgian history. I couldn't recommended it more.
One of the best experiences. We felt so taken care of. Totally worth it.
Mariami was an excellent guide, attentive, full of information and happy to reply to any curious questions. The nature was gorgeous and the whole trip was very exhausting in the nicest way.
When we did this trip, 2 of the 5 sights we were going to see were straight up closed off, unfortunately the ones that were the most exciting to us (the Prometheus cave and the sanatorium) and we ended up going to much less interesting alternative sights. It feels like at some point a partial refund would have been appropriate but there wasn’t even as much as an apology. The two canyons are nice but range from slightly to very overpriced. The tour guide did a good job I understand that a lot of these things are not exactly the organizers fault and the prices are fully disclosed in the description but I’m supposed to rate my experience and my experience was mediocre at best. You end up spending 70+ dollars per person which will get you very far in most places in Georgia, but on this trip, they don’t
Gia our guide was sensational! He made a superb tour unforgettable. I learned so much about every site we visited but also about Georgian life and culture. Our family has done many tours over the last two weeks and I can honestly say that this tour was miles above all the others. Perfect timings, never felt rushed, perfect combination of activities with many options at times, always avoiding crowds. Even lunch was a choice between several outlets as opposed to being confined to one restaurant. Gia genuinely cares for his group and it shows. Thank you and highly recommend
Fantastic trip with an excellent guide Gia, highly recommended.
Gia was so informative and kind. Everything was well explained and gorgeous sights.
A great day out made absolutely more special by our guide, Guia. So much knowledge, all the inside tricks for getting the best out of each location. Highly recommended
