Friend

My trip in this experience was with Mr. Koba. We did meet in the time and the place with no delay. Our journey was beyond exceptional. It was solo, but I felt that I was with a friend rather than a guide. You will walk an amazing journey with rich history of Georgia and tiblisi specifically. Our departure was momentarily, but relation is timeless. I'm very grateful that he was my guide for this trip! I do belive he made it worth while.

Operator response

Thank you, Sulaiman, for sharing such kind words. We’re truly glad that your journey with Koba felt more like time with a friend than a guided tour. That’s exactly the spirit we want our guests to feel when discovering Georgia. Your appreciation means a lot to us, and we’ll be happy to welcome you back anytime.

Outstanding!

My first day in Tblisi was a cold rainy day, but I was fortunate enough to have the best tour guide. Khatuna was there to pick me up and take me on two tours back to back (this one and the Brutalist Architecture Tour). She was able to point out all the highlights and made the two tours most enjoyable under extremely trying circumstances. I could have not picked a better way to spend my first day in this most fascinating city. Thank you again for a very enjoyable and educational experience!

Operator response

Dear Robert, Thank you so much for your heartfelt words! We're truly touched that, even on a cold and rainy day, you found joy and inspiration exploring Tbilisi with us. We're incredibly proud of Khatuna — she has a gift for turning gray skies into golden memories, and your feedback will absolutely make her day. We always say: we may offer the best walking tours in Tbilisi with amazing value… but honestly, it’s our guests who make them unforgettable. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for more adventures — maybe with a bit more sunshine next time! ☀️

Our tour guide, Aleksi,...

Our tour guide, Aleksi, was really patient with us. Traveling with a toddler has its’perks’ but he made us feel at ease when she started getting a little fussy. He took us round old and new Tbilisi, with very detailed knowledge of iconic heritage. He was very helpful with wadding off the very many goods sellers wanting to sell to tourists. He helped negotiate price as well which I found very admirable considering they spoke same language and from same place. Overall, a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend this to first timers in Tbilisi.

Operator response

Dear Zainab, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful experience exploring Tbilisi with Aleksi. Travelling with a toddler can bring its own adventures, and we're so glad that Aleksi was able to put you at ease and create a relaxed, family-friendly experience. We're delighted that you enjoyed his detailed knowledge of Tbilisi's heritage and the extra effort he made to help with local vendors and negotiations - his hospitality truly reflects the warm spirit of Georgia. It was a pleasure to have you and your family on the tour and we hope you have a wonderful time for the rest of your stay in Georgia. Thank you again for your kind recommendation and we'd love to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!
