Our guide David was extremely accommodating, especially considering we were traveling with children. Despite our initial apprehension, we had a fantastic tour experience. David, our guide, was not only knowledgeable about the area's history but also very engaging. He was great with the kids and flexible with the schedule, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I would certainly recommend this tour to my friends.
<p>Tamara was a great guide. Highly knowledgeable and patient. </p> <p>Reliable tour operator and was well organized. The lunch included at Mtskheta was our first lunch in Georgia and it was lovely. </p> <p>Wine tasting was at the Chateau Mukhrani - this might be hit/miss for some that are used to better wineyards/chateaus, but for us it was a great experience. </p> <p>Would definitely recommend.</p>
<p>Tour was amazing the tour guides were very nice and friendly Lasha was one of their names. He was very informative too. <br/> Only drawbacks<br/> 1) is we seen other tours for a similar price that were for a longer duration <br/> 2) the wine tour should have shown us the vineyards and more</p>
