Absolutely loved the tour and our guide George was super friendly and kind. He shared detailed history about each place and was more than happy to answer our questions. He also gave us insights on Georgian culture and some do’s and don’t which we appreciated as tourists. Thank you for the memorable tour. P.S. Brownie points for the well maintained and clean car!

It was a wonderful private tour with a great guide - George. He explained everything wonderfully to us, he also allowed us our time as well as time to eat with a fun wine tasting at the end. He was very patient and we enjoyed him as our guide and would highly recommend him for any tour in Georgia

    Memorable moments with George

    Swathy_S, Sep 2025
    We had a wonderful experience exploring Jvari and Mtskheta with George. He was not only knowledgeable and engaging but also made the entire tour fun and memorable. His way of sharing history and stories kept us interested throughout. We started the journey with him as our guide, but by the end, it truly felt like we had gained a friend. The views from top of Jvari is beautiful and the visits to all the monasteries are so enriching and refreshing. The handmade wine ice cream recommended by George is the best you can find in Tbilisi. This tour was a perfect start to our travel in Georgia. Highly recommended!

    History brought to life with a knowledgeable guide

    We had an excellent tour with George! He was incredibly knowledgeable, and we ended up having fascinating conversations about history, ancient civilizations, politics, and much more. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting all three sites — each one was impressive and rich in historical significance. The tour was well-paced and never felt rushed. George managed the timing perfectly, giving us plenty of free time while still providing insightful and engaging commentary at each stop. A truly memorable experience!

    Great Tour

    Driver and guide George is friendly, he recommended a delicious wine ice cream. I would recommend this tour if you have limited time to see georgia.

    Great way to see a little more of Tibilisi

    Kylie_C, Apr 2025
    George picked us up on time from our hotel. He drove us to three UNESCO listed churches/monasteries and knew all about the history of them. He gave us a lovely tour of Mtskheta and I got to try wine ice cream! We also saw the old Soviet neighborhood and the Chronicles of Georgia monument. We also were treated to a city tour of Tbilisi upon our return. A wonderful day out.

    Amazing Georgia day trip

    George (guide and driver) was with us on this trip. The ride was smooth and good and on time. George was very engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. He helped explain everything in detail and also gave Georgian history details. Helped take some pics for us as well. Would definitely recommend him again.

    Great Guide…lots of unknown history.

    Michael_B, Apr 2024
    So much unknown history of Georgia in these places we visited. The guide was very knowledgeable. He also gave us time to explore on our own in each section of the tour.
