The Must-Do Introduction to Georgian Cuisine - Luka is an excellent host and guide with a copious amount of knowledge on his beautiful country of Georgia/Sakartvelo. This is a must-do tour in the first 48 hours of your trip because Luka will introduce you to the staple cuisine of his country. Of note he taught us about the history of Khinkali, a savory dumpling - like dish that is popular throughout Georgia. This became my go - to dish at every one of my meals after in Georgia. Later, Luka brought us to ChaCha corner to try the staple liquor of Georgia - Chacha. After we continued our working tour and ended the tour at a beautiful restaurant where we tried Gold Wine and more Georgian dishes.
Throughout the tour Luka was very accommodating, knowledgeable, and personable. I will recommend him and his tour to all future travelers to Georgia/Sakartvelo. Thank you, Luka!

Delicious and informative food tour - We had an excellent food tour with Giorgi. He was able to adjust our tour to vegetarian and we still got to try almost 25 local dishes. I would highly recommend this experience as a way to get introduced to the food of Georgia.

A fantastic food tour - A great experience. From the amount of food, to the different types and the wine and chacha tasting the whole experience was great. Our guide Irakli was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Worth every penny.

Such an enjoyable and memorable introduction to Tbilisi - The tour guide - David - was brilliant and we had such an enjoyable and memorable evening exploring Tbilisi, sampling a variety of Georgian cuisine in places that only the locals frequent (ie. off the beaten track and away from tourist traps).
As chance would have it, many of the streets were experiencing a blackout, but David quickly improvised and knew alternate places to take us. A highlight (excuse the pun) was entering a local bar where we sampled a series of cha cha shots in the dark!
Our experience was enhanced by David’s in-depth knowledge of Georgian history/culture and his easy going personality.
100% recommended to all visitors to this charming city.

Great Tour with a Great Guide - The tour itself was fantastic. It's also very specific to your specific tastes, so if there's something you won't or can't eat, just let the guide know and he'll accomodate!
Speaking of the guide, David was absolutely the best part of the tour. He's a great conversationalist, and very open to discussing history, politics, and everything else.
Couldn't be more highly recommended! :)
