The views of this trip are good, but they are poorly arranged. In terms of language, I attended the English group, but mixed with the Russian group, resulting in all lectures to repeat in two languages, wasting a lot of time. In terms of time, the departure at 7:00 a.m. was scheduled for 12 hours, but returning to the Tbilisi area was already 10:30 p.m. As soon as I know, I will not participate in this tour. In terms of guides, all his instructions are not clear and not friendly. In the case of accommodation, it is preferable to climb the mountain during the sunrise of the noon. Overall, I do not recommend the trip and prefer to stay in the Tbilisi area to play.
Very good experience with Georgi. Very complete tour. Recommended for all kind of tourists. Some activity and relaxing time

The trip felt more like shared transportation than a professionally organized tour. Communication was poor throughout the day, with unclear instructions, late departure and c delay caused by picking up people from location other than the stated meeting point while the rest of us waited on the bus from 7:00 a.m. The first meal wasn't until 4:00 p.m., despite being awake since early morning. We were told we couldn't eat on the bus, yet there were no proper meal stops. The overall organization was very amateur and unprofessional. I'm giving 3 stars only because the places themselves are absolutely worth visiting, and the time spent at the main highlights was sufficient. I definitely recommend visiting these locations—but not with Imperial. There are much better tour companies available
Data4, thank him very much for the wonderful tour! Thanks to his attentiveness, goodwill and interesting stories, the trip left a most heartwarming experience. Thanks for the great atmosphere and unforgettable emotions!
