Zviad was a wonderful guide and also just a really cool person to spend the day with! The Kazbegi region is absolutely astonishing, and it felt like every turn in the road revealed an even more spectacular view than the last. Our lunch stop was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and it was really nice to just take our time chatting and eating and watching the clouds drift over the mountains. We'd definitely both recommend Zviad for any tours—we're considering a second trip to Georgia soon and will hopefully be booking more with him!

Very interesting tour and pretty sites. It's a reasonably priced private tour which allows you to take your time at the different sites and enjoy. The tour guide was very friendly

Beautiful Georgia

Absolutely incredible experience! My trip to the Caucasus Mountains and the Georgia-Russia border, organized through Viator, was beautiful . The breathtaking landscapes, with towering peaks and lush valleys, left me in awe at every turn. Our guide Zviad was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing insights about the rich history and culture of the region, making the experience even more immersive. The itinerary was perfectly curated, allowing us to explore and enjoy authentic Georgian cuisine. I would recommend it to anyone interested in seeing the natural beauty of Georgia. Five stars all the way! Thank you, Zviad, for an unforgettable journey!

Beautiful mountains and tasty food.

Kazbegi is a very beautiful mountain town/village with very good views, fresh air, nice hotels, yummy restaurants. Visit to the Georgian- Russian border was nice as well owing to the beauty of Dariali gorge. Personal thanks to Zviad, my guide.

Excellent tour and guide

ToneMaren_S, May 2024

Well planned out tour with excellent stops, flexibility on additional photostops and ability to change order of sights to accomodate weather. Also excellent and knowledgeable guide

highly recommended

C_Y, May 2024

It was a fantastic trip that showed me some of the most beautiful places in the Caucasus, especially the part from Gergeti to Russian border. The scenery was stunning! That was also the reason I took this tour instead of others. My tour guide Zviadis is not only a very skilled driver but also a very knowledgeable and kind guide. I would totally recommend this tour if you're visiting Tbilisi/Georgia.

Wonderful day trip in Kazbegi

GUYI_Z, Jan 2024

We had a wonderful trip with the guide in 12 hours in Kazbegi. The guide is well-knowledged with the history and backstory of every site. He was also really helpful and friendly. The trip was worth every penny and we enjoyed it every seconds.

Great experience

Lukasz_R, Sep 2023

We had a great trip with Zviad towards Dariali Gorge. He is very knowledgeable, has good english, answered on many our questions regarding of places we visited or simply passed. He is also very flexible, adjusting program to specific wishes (extra places to visit along the way or specific types of food you would like to have during lunch) or simply the weather conditions. :) Fully recommended! :)

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thanks Lukasz for choosing us and thanks a lot for the review. Good luck and hope to see you again.

Kazbegi - town with the best views.

Diana_A, May 2022

Everything was very well organized. Weather was perfect, hike to Gveleti waterfalls was easy and the food & the view at Rooms restaurant was perfect. Definitely recommend this company and the tour.

Amazing trip to Kazbegi

Natalie_N, May 2022

Kazbegi is an awesome place with very good views. I did a nice hike and had nice lunch at Rooms hotel. All recommendations given by Travelist were very good.
