A very impressive tour. - The tour of the UNESCO cities is impressive. The history and what you feel walking through their spaces, churches, and everything they once represented for the people of Georgia and the history of the world is fascinating.
Moreover, if you add the knowledge and willingness of Luka, the guide, who shares and comments on the stories of the sites, there is nothing more to ask for.
It's a long story for a powerful tour.

A great way to see the Caucus Mountains - This tour is a great way to see the Caucus Mountains. The guide Catherine was excellent and very eager to speak with us all. The sites we visited were well curated, hitting all of the highlights around Kazbegi. Lots of car travel is required, but it’s coupled with adequate stops and chances to walk around.

Private tour with Lela - Really amazing tour. Our guide Lela and our driver Batcho made everything so easy and comfortable for us! Both of them showed us amazing hospitality. Lela is always being so kind to us and even gave us a small souvenir gift for us to remember this experience. She's very knowledgeable, explains everything in details and she was willing to answer all of our questions. A highly recommended experience!

Super - A tour into old Georgia which I highly recommend for history freaks! Amazing nature, and much to see from pre-historic caves to ancient churches ending with the much ironic Stalin's birthplace, turned museum in Gori. All made possible by our amazing tour guide, Lela, who rendered the whole experience the more enjoyable.
