A very impressive tour.

Mauricio_V, Oct 2023

The tour of the UNESCO cities is impressive. The history and what you feel walking through their spaces, churches, and everything they once represented for the people of Georgia and the history of the world is fascinating. Moreover, if you add the knowledge and willingness of Luka, the guide, who shares and comments on the stories of the sites, there is nothing more to ask for. It's a long story for a powerful tour.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

I'm thrilled to hear that you found the tour impressive and that the history and atmosphere of the UNESCO cities resonated with you. Luka and I are honored by your kind words regarding his knowledge, willingness to share stories, and overall contribution to the tour experience. If there's ever more you wish to explore in Georgia, we would be delighted to welcome you back for another powerful tour. Thank you for choosing our tour, and I wish you many more enriching travel experiences in the future! Warm regards, Lela

A great way to see the Caucus Mountains

Matthew_C, May 2023

This tour is a great way to see the Caucus Mountains. The guide Catherine was excellent and very eager to speak with us all. The sites we visited were well curated, hitting all of the highlights around Kazbegi. Lots of car travel is required, but it’s coupled with adequate stops and chances to walk around.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hello, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience on the UNESCO treasure tour to Mtskheta, Jvari, Gori, and Uplistsikhe. Catherine, our guide, is indeed excellent, and it's fantastic to know that her eagerness to share knowledge and engage with you added value to your journey. We always aim to offer a well-curated experience that covers all the highlights and provides opportunities for exploration. Thank you once again for choosing our tour, and we hope to have the pleasure of showing you more of Georgia's treasures in the future. Warm regards, Lela

Interesting and enjoyable tour

Hugo_B, Oct 2022

Lela and We Are Georgia tours provided my wife and I with an excellent tour of some of Georgia's fascinating historical sites. Lela is a friendly, engaging, and knowledgable host, and was willing to adjust the tour to our own personal interests and tastes. A highly recommended experience!
