Wonderful group tour with Timur - The trip was very well organised. It was a full day tour. The journey was very comfortable. Our guide Timur was really amazing who kept us engaged throughout the trip by sharing the stories and history of the places on the way making the tour very interesting. He also shared real funny stories from his past tour experiences. He was very fluent in Russian and English and know many words in Hindi too. I would surely recommend all to take this group tour instead of private tour to make it very interesting and memorable at the same time you will get to meet new people across the world.

Kakheti wine tour - it was a great tour, good guide and comfortable minibus. we saw a lot of wonderful places. we had different tastings, tried homemade wines, wines from the winery, and had a tasting of sweets and cheeses. Most of all I liked the brandy with chestnut honey, be sure to try it if you go on this tour.

A good visit - A little more time at Bodbe Monastery would have been nice. Otherwise a good, dynamic guide. Maybe a little more time in Telavi.

Not worth the travel time - Apart from the tour guide who was friendly, the tour was quite boring. Very long distances to cover to see very little (Eg traveling an hour and a half just to see an old tree).
The tour was also a mix of English and Russian speaking tourists and it became chaotic between languages. There was no guidance given inside the monastery and we were left alone to figure it out.
The lunch was a disaster as the restaurant the guide took us to was expensive, had poor quality food and the service was horrible (took 2 hours to prepare a dish)
Trip seemed very commercial oriented with trying to get tourists to buy wine and bread from specific sites. All in all a waste of a full day from 9am to 8pm
