Use these guys to make the most of your trip to Georgia - What a great team! Aside from being well versed and taking the time to explain the history at every stop, they knew all the best restaurants in each area. Also very helpful for anything out of the ordinary we needed. Hardware store, grocery store to find the best wine to take home, nothing was a problem. For sure would use these guys again.

Memorable Full-Day Tour in Georgia - My friends and I were served by Temo. We roadtripped to Mtskheta and its surrounding area, visiting Jvari Monastery and Svetitskhoveli Church with some breaks: coffee break, juice break, smoke break, also photo break when there was good spot for taking pictures :) Temo surprised us with some snacks: churchkela (Georgian energy bar) and huge lavash bread bought from the famous local bakery.. On the way down to Chronicle of Georgia, we lunched at Salobie Restaurant (good one, the khenkali and the beer were da bomb--recommended by Temo). In the afternoon we went back to Tbilisi, strolling around the old city: crossing Peace Bridge, taking photos at Fountain Monument of the Falcon and Peasants, Turkish Sulphur Bath.. the overrated mini waterfall, hiking to see Botanical Garden from the top of the fortress, touching the statue of the Mother of Georgians.. and finally trying the cable car (especially because we were exhausted) Temo is highly knowledgeable about Georgian history and was able to explain everything in English comprehensively and fluently. Also, he told us good stories about this-and-that, the myths, the legends, etc. Lastly yet importantly, Temo is friendly and is my friend already. Btw, thanks for taking me to "Old Cellar" wine cellar, brah, almost forgot. Pls send my regards to Sally. Well.. it was memorable and I will definitely come back to Georgia for other spots, someday soon. Andreas T
