“The best! Probably one of the best day trips that I’ve taken. Pre-trip planning was great with instructions sent. Transport also very comfortable. The Georgian Military Highway is one of the most stunning routes that I’ve traveled. Whilst the day was long, we were back in Tbilisi before we realized. We visited some amazing monasteries, churches, and monuments, sampled several wines and spirits, and ate some tasty food. All this was woven together by our guide Miriam, who provided a lot of fascinating info about the places we visited. Couldn’t ask for more; 5 stars for the day!” - Reviewed on 2025-04-07

“If you want an unforgettable, vivid experience for life, choose this tour! I chose this tour for my family, it was a beautiful day and this tour left vivid and best memories for me and my parents, we visited so many beautiful and historic places, the beauty of these places took our breath away and our eyes burned! Took a lot of pictures and videos, the weather was fabulous! We had with us an experienced driver and the best guide George! He organized the day so smoothly that it was time to enjoy every place and moment, while arranging everything so that we left on time and arrived!” - Reviewed on 2025-02-28

The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, with stunning mountain views all around. Our guide, Giorgi, was amazing, he created such a great atmosphere within the group and shared so many interesting insights about Georgia, its history, and the places we visited. Thanks to him we have been able to better understand Georgia in general.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-24
