We enjoyed the history insights and the sightseeings he shared. He is always the first and the last in the group to make sure everyone is safe. Thank you for making our autumn experience fun and full of laughters :)

Gorgeous Georgia with Koba! - Koba took us on a four day tour of the north & east of Georgia. Never in my entire life have we met a guide who's so passionate about their country, its history and it's culture. That sort of passion is infectious, and that's what makes Koba your go-to tour guide if you're planning a trip to Georgia. We didn't want the tour to end. We visited some of the most beautiful monstrastries, learned about a fascinating history & culture, as well as the ancient Georgia way of wine making (which also made the entire process extremely enjoyable - the wine is lush!) There's even more to Georgia than we could have imagined, and once again that's down to Koba. In the next few years I'll definitely be back to explore the West side of the country and their hot springs. When that time comes I'll be hitting up 'Uncle' Koba for round 2.
