Makho- a must hire for the best experience!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Makho, my driver and guide in Georgia! He was exceptional in every way — professional, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about sharing his country with us. What impressed me most was his incredible knowledge of Georgia’s history. He didn’t just tell me the basic facts; he brought the history to life, explaining Georgia’s complex political history as well as its deep Christian heritage and the role both have played in shaping the country and its people. He was also an excellent driver, making me feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire day. He was patient, accommodating, and happy to answer all of my questions. You could tell that he truly loves Georgia and takes great pride in sharing its history, culture, and beautiful places with visitors. He made my time in Georgia so much more meaningful and memorable. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Georgia who wants more than just a sightseeing tour. If you want someone who can give you a genuine understanding of the country, its history, and its culture while also providing excellent transportation and companionship, he is the person to choose.

Awesome Tour, Stories and Pictures

This tour was amazing! The archeological and cultural wonders were spectacular. The experience provided a very comprehensive history of Georgia, past and present. My guide, Gia, was not only very knowledgeable, but a great storyteller with an excellent sense of humor. Gia is also an amazing photographer! I typically hate having my picture taken, but he made me feel comfortable and look great. Awesome all around!

A Warm and Passionate Guide Who Made Us Love Georgia Even More

Our trip with Paata-san was truly memorable. He was friendly, passionate, and very knowledgeable about religion, Georgian history, and culture. He explained everything with great enthusiasm, which made the tour both interesting and enjoyable for us. He is also a guide full of humor and warmth, and we always felt comfortable during the trip. Thanks to him, we could understand Georgia much more deeply and enjoy the experience even more. Highly recommended to everyone visiting Georgia!

10 day Georgia tour- Best tour guide experience we have ever had.

Our 10-day journey through Georgia felt nothing short of a private luxury experience, and that’s entirely thanks to our amazing guide, Makho ✨ From the moment we landed in Tbilisi to our final farewell, everything was smooth, thoughtful, and beautifully curated. Makho’s English is impeccable, making every conversation effortless—whether we were chatting about Georgia’s rich history or just sharing laughs along the way. We explored the stunning landscapes of Gudauri, the charm of Kutaisi, and the vibrant coastal vibe of Batumi—but what made it truly special was how Makho turned every stop into an experience, not just a visit. He has incredible knowledge of Georgia, but what really sets him apart is his heart. Always warm, always smiling, and always one step ahead—making sure we were comfortable, happy, and soaking in every moment. It genuinely felt like we were traveling with a friend who wanted us to fall in love with his country ❤️ Every detail, from airport pickup to drop-off, was handled with care and professionalism. No stress, no rush—just pure enjoyment and unforgettable memories. If you’re looking to explore Georgia in style, comfort, and with someone who truly cares—Makho is the one. He didn’t just guide us… he made this trip magical ✨

Seven Days of Gorgeous Georgian Gorges (and many other sights) with Makho

I spent a total of seven days touring with Makho, and I’m so glad I did. He is a wealth of information and works tirelessly to provide a deep dive into the history, culture, politics, and geography of Georgia. I learned far more than I ever could have on my own. He was also quite flexible with his planning, even while we were on the road, tailoring my tour to the things he could see excited me. He added extra stops as time allowed—places we hadn’t specifically discussed beforehand—making it clear that his priority was maximizing my experience. At this point, I consider him a friend, and I would very much look forward to seeing him again the next time I’m in Georgia.
