“Best tour you can ever book - I don’t say this lightly- but this was the best tour ever! Firstly, starting from the places we visited - all of them wonderful. I wasn’t thinking much when I booked, but this surpassed EVERY expectation. The tour guy, Giorgi, was beyond great. His English was flawless, his experiences, and his storytelling. He is also a history major and gave us explanations of everything we wanted. He never rushed us and let us enjoy every moment of this wonderful tour. The price is also very low - the price includes being driven for hours through somewhat difficult terrain. Dress comfortably and book this tour. It is AMAZING! 10/10 would do it again!” - Reviewed at 2024-12-27
