Lika was a great guide, she told us a lot of stories about Georgia and mainly Kutaisi, some was personal which i appreciate a lot. We know about the history, culture, gastronomy a lot by Lika, and we have got a colourful picture of Georgian people life. We were only 2 and Lika, so that tour was extremly personal. I truly recommend it. Next time we will try the other tour with Lika.
