Excursion to Mtskheta and Gori

I want to mention in particular a guide named Lebanon - very friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about his business. The tour took place at a comfortable pace, without haste, with interesting stories and attention to detail. Transportation was convenient, all on time and without linings.

Beautiful Georgia

We went on an excursion to Jwari and Tskheta with guide David. I really enjoyed it. The guide told the story all the time and alternately in 2 languages: Russian and English. Bonus: immediately and English remembered and tightened😁! The guys at the office did great - sent us on a field trip the day we turned. Separate respect for the driver
