This excursion immerses us for a full day in Georgia’s past. It was a very enriching tour! Thank you to Jimmy for a joyful day full of laughter while teaching us about Georgia’s history. Thanks also to George, the driver! I highly recommend this excursion.
The trip was amazing. The guide was very enthusiastic and informative. We stopped at a wonderful restaurant, with delicious food. The other passengers happened to be all very pleasant.
Really enjoyed the trip to Mtskheta — such a beautiful and atmospheric place, full of history. We saw some amazing spots: churches, scenic views, charming little streets — everything looked like it was straight out of a postcard. The view from Jvari especially stood out — absolutely stunning. The guide was great: told stories in an engaging way, not too much, just right. Also gave us useful tips on other places to visit next.
We booked this tour for our first full day in Georgia and it was a great choice for an introduction to the area around Tbilisi and a lot of the history of the region. All of the stops were extremely interesting, the food at lunch was some of the best we had for our whole trip, and our guide was very helpful with questions in both English and Russian. He also gave us great advice on where to go for dinner and (the most important thing on a trip in Georgia!) where to get the best wine.
Jimmy was the best guide! He really represented Georgia well. It was a very entertaining tour. Can definitly recommend joining this tour. The biggest negative point is the choice of restaurant. You get driven to a mediocore restaurant with high prices. Georgian Cuisine is great and there are a lot of nice restaurants. However, this one does unfortunately not represent that at all.
Russalina was perfect and very knowledgeable. She made our time so speacial and commected with everyone. Really enjoyed this trip, highly recommended.
Thank you for your review about the tour!
