Highly Recommend!
Wonderful tour! Really worth while. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Jewish history of Georgia. The museum was very good and also didn’t take a large amount of time. Going to different synagogues was also interesting. The kosher wine tasting was a nice add on but just know, you only get to try one wine of your choosing. The whole experience was really enjoyable, highly recommend!

I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed exploring the Jewish history of Georgia — it’s a beautiful and important part of our culture, and we always try to present it in a way that’s meaningful but not overwhelming.
I’m glad you liked the museum, the synagogues, and the kosher wine tasting as well. And thank you for mentioning the one-wine tasting — it’s helpful for future guests to know what to expect.
It was a pleasure having you on the tour, and I truly appreciate your recommendation.
You’re always welcome back in Georgia! 🤍
