The food that we tasted was amazing. There was a lot of food! But what really made our tour unforgettable was our guide Tornike. We laughed, we talked, we cooked and tasted the food all together. He was not only an experienced guide for the tour but also a friend who shared a lot of interesting stories with us. Thank you so much for that! The susipicious girl :)

Eat, drink, converse....what could be better?

We had such a great evening making Georgian food with host at the home. And then sitting down and eating it and having great conversation with our guide Dimitri!!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for sharing this! 😊 We’re so happy you enjoyed the evening cooking Georgian food in a local home — that experience is always something truly special and authentic. There’s nothing better than preparing traditional dishes together and then sitting down to enjoy them with good company. Dimitri will be very glad to hear you enjoyed the conversation as well — he loves creating that warm, friendly atmosphere around the table. Thank you again for being part of the experience. We hope to welcome you back for another delicious evening in Georgia! 🍷✨

Georgien home cooking

Great fun! Took a taxi with my guide Helen to a house in the suburbs where we made 4 classic Georgien dishes. Lots of food, and ample time to discuss life in Georgia. Would strongly recommend this experience for others. 2 thumbs up!!

I decided that I would try something different and do a cooking class so I could remake the recipes at home in the UK. It was a great experience. While I was travelling solo, I didn't feel left out of the group (which was myself and another couple). Beka and Buta were great guides- and the event actually took place at Beka's aunt's house (which was beautiful). Beka and his aunt each showed us how to make the various dishes, and even provided us with recipes afterwards so we can replicate it. Because I don't eat pork, Beka's aunt was able to accommodate that and we had both beef khinkali AND cheese khinkali. We had lots of fun and everything was (of course) delicious. Would absolutely recommend this tour! Beka is particularly great at guiding everyone through and providing tips and also explaining the history of Georgia.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Hey Amanda, Thank you so much for the amazing feedback. I'm happy to hear that you had a great time With Beka and Buta. Hope you're enjoying beautiful Georgia. looking forward meeting you in future.

Amazing time, amazing food, with amazing guys!

Diego_V, Dec 2019

Amazing food tour whit Toko! Everything went very nicely, he has great energy and the entire agency, when we went to check us in was super cool! First, they made us try some Georgian wines, then we went to the church and ate some very nice Kachipuri , after we went to the funicular to eat even more nice food and in the end we delighted ourselves by learning how to do some of these delicious dishes at a georgian family's house. I totally recommend it and would do it again !

Best of the best!

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Hello, Thank you so much for your great review! Also,thank you for all your kind words about our guide , Tornike! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our tours! Hope to see you in future as well!

A great evening in Tbilisi!

Tara R, Dec 2019

We had a great time exploring with Beka. We learned a lot about the city, Georgian food, and of course the wine! You’ll get to see the cathedral, ride the funicular, explore the city and cook with a real Georgian family. It is a long tour, but there is lots to see along the way. The cooking masterclass at the end is fun and very interactive, with the reward being that you get to eat a meal entirely made by your own hands. The guide is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly - by the end of the tour you’re basically just hanging out.
