Top Tbilisi Day Trips - page 22

Excellent enthusiastic and informative guide Soso ( spelling?!) . He gave us the right balance between free time and guide time making sure we were all catered for at lunch and the winery. He was also knowledgeable about living standards, the economy and the taxation system today which is always a bonus

This was a trip that was worthwhile, despite the long journey to and from Armenia. The rugged terrain of the Armenian mountains is a stunning sight in itself, but adding all the historical monuments we visited greatly enhanced the experience for us. All three monasteries we explored were incredible and steeped in the country’s history. The views from Haghpat Monastery were particularly breath-taking, as it is situated at a higher elevation. Sanahin was, in our opinion, the best preserved of the three monasteries. Simply walking through the complex, surrounded by mountains and with a gentle breeze on your face, made the experience truly memorable for us. The lunch was very tasty and it provided a good immersion into the Armenian cuisine. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided plenty of information both during the journey to Armenia and at the various locations where we stopped. This helped us become fully absorbed in the history of the places that we visited, and we can definitely say that we came away with far more knowledge about Armenia than we had before the trip. We would highly recommend it.

While arriving at the location takes quite a while from Tbilisi, it is definitely worth it. The Prometheus is well-organised and lit for visitors. It is impressive by its size and geological formations. The lighting system creates a mysterious atmosphere. The Kutaisi Canyons create a lovely yet peaceful experience. It is perfect for those who want to enjoy nature, yet remain active. The boat ride adds to the magic of the place and, although it was not mandatory, we would say it is a must if you really want to enjoy this trip to the fullest. One anyway needs to wear good shoes as the terrain is uneven and may be slippery at times too.

From start to finish, this was a wonderful trip. Avto, the guide and driver, was extremely knowledgeable about all the locations and provided a lot of information in great English. Additionally, he was flexible and gave me the chance to make adjustments to the trip which allowed me to take part in other activities along the way (I recommend the zip line near Mount Kazbegi!). He was also patient with me and was happy to wait/stop the car so that I could take particular photos. Most importantly, Avto was incredibly friendly and he made the day so much more fun with excellent conversation between destinations. I really cannot recommend this day trip enough and, especially if you have the chance to do it with Avto, you really will have an experience that will live long in the memory!

Group of 3. We booked the Mtskheta-Jvari-Uplistsike-Chronicle of Georgia, PRIVATE Trip. Our guide was 'GEORGE ENAOGH'. He was incredibly helpful, flexible, informative and made our trip simply spectacular. Our trip was booked less than 24 hours in advance, which was not a problem at all. George drove us around in a clean, modern, spacious van. I would absolutely recommend George as a tour guide to anyone who wants an unforgettable trip.

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!

A nice tour with some stunning locations. Our guide Omar was excellent very knowledgable and friendly without been invasive all the time. He gave us a lot of information during the tour which was many hours and some personal suggestions for restaurants and markets in Tbilisi. Also there are enough stops for food and bathrooms.

I love the Georgian countryside! This tour brought me to the northern part of the country, close to the border with Russia. There, I saw endless green mountains with beautiful churches atop. It’s like Switzerland! Dimitri, the tour guide, is very informative and funny. Would recommend this to all tourists coming to Georgia.
