Top Tbilisi Day Trips - page 17

The trip was very well organised. The guide was a young gentleman who took a good care of the group. It was my first ever journey so high to mountains and I enjoyed it a lot. I was worried about long hours of the trip, but the day passed quickly enough due to many experiences. Main advise - be prepared to all kind of weather conditions. Despite heat in Tbilisi, it may get windy and freezing cold at some spots in mountains.

Wonderful places and definitely a must see. Leaving early and reaching there a bit early has its own advantages. Guide Mariam was very knowledgeable friendly and welcoming. She made sure we were taken care at every bit of our journey. Good breaks in between and this ensured a stress free experience. Just one downside: Driver refused to close his window leaving us inside with literally no AC and terrible noise of the road/highway. He would just never budge from this stance. On a hot day this was literally a nightmare.

Tamara is an excellent tour guide. Very kind and informative in addition of so calm. The van is 2024 new and clean, but without Wi-Fi as mentioned in the tickets and when I asked about it, they told me to send a claim to Viator because all their cars don't have Wi-Fi. The locations are amazing and breathtaking!! Gudauri was better than Kazbegi because at Kazbigi, we waited at the Vans and Buses park till those who went up to the Gergiti church came back, then we headed back to Tbilisi. So, if you don't take the 4x4 car up to the monestry, you end up waiting at the park without any excitement like Gudauri. In General, it was a very exciting day and everyone was kind. The driver was very calm and patient on the way from tbilisi to Kazbigi, but was exactly the opposite on the way back as he drove in a very risky way and we almost hit a car on the opposite side. We felt we were in F1 race, then we shouted to slow down, so he did because also the traffic became jammed at the last 45 minutes of the trip before arriving to tblisi. He became normal.

The tour was absolutely amazing, and we loved every minute of it! We had family members aging 15-76 year olds, and everyone loved it. Luka was our amazing driver/tour guide, and photographer as needed! The mountains are simply magical, and you may even see a rainbow!! Bring water, snacks, little change to pay for bathrooms and ask for an 8 am start time.

We had a great daytrip to Kazbegi and Gudauri on 23rd April. The weather meant we went from 20C+ (Tbilisi) to snowing quite heavily and road closures so we only got to the Georgian & Russian Friendship monument. But what a memorable day we had. The guide was very informative and he and the driver did their best to try and get us to Kazbegi (two attempts). The Ananuri fortress complex is a spectacularly beautiful and atmospheric place. The Alpine Guadauri was a beautiful surprise. We may not have seen Georgia`s poster shot highlight of Gergheti church but we will never forget being stood in the snow at the Friendship Monument. The bonus for the weather interruption was a visit on our return to Tblisi to the Chronical of Georgia which was quite something to be seen.

Had an amazing day with Nico: 1) big Mercedes mini van, 2) smooth drive and Nico speaks excellent English; 3) wonderful 3 monastery stops; 4) Nico was patient with pace and helpful with luggage and passport control; 5) excellent lunch stop, beautiful view and excellent food.

Great way to experience Armenia for the day. Long drive but well broken up by sightseeing stops and breaks. Depending on the borders, could really put a crunch on time and rush the stops more than usual. But that cannot be helped or controlled much. The small bus is very comfortable and new. Enjoyed all the stops and Armenia has beautiful mountains and nature! Looking forward to returning for a longer visit but this is a great taste if you do t have much time.

The khinkali and khachapuri masterclass flew by in one breath — full of jokes, great vibes, new connections, and the aroma of dough and wine in the air. At one point, I honestly thought I was in heaven! I live in Georgia, but it was my first time making khinkali and khachapuri with my own hands. Now I think I’ll do it more often. Highly recommend trying it and spending a wonderful time there!
