One fine day to explore Tbilisi

JessicaYL_L, Feb 2023
It was a memorable journey. Maia is a funny and knowledgeable guide, she showed us the beauty of old Town and let us understand the history/the religious of Georgia. All in all, one fine day to spend with them in Tbilisi.

Really enjoyed the tour and it's a great value for money. Mom was so excited the whole time as well. I must say, Tamara is truly a great tour guide. She's well educated, knowledgeable and funny! She helped me assisting my mother when going up hills for some of the attractions and I thought that's so thoughtful of her! Ask for Tamara if when booking for this tour and you can thank me later

Moustafa N, Dec 2017
Great tour that sums up most of the important parts of both Tbilisi and Mtskheta without feeling rushed or superficial. Sadly the cable cars were down when we visited, but a trip in the city Funicular more than made up for it. We had an amazing guide, Ms. Anna, who is very knowledgeable about the history of the country and the places while also being great company. Transport couldn't be any better. Overall great experience which I highly recommend despite the slightly high price compared to normal tours.

Can not go in the Church due to Sunday. If this is mention on the booking time will definitely help.

Robert J S, Jun 2017
We had the same guide, Eka, as for our Private Tbilisi Walking Tour plus Wine Tasting and Dinner two days before, and were so glad we did. Eka and our driver both speak very good English and offered a lot of personal and very interesting knowledge and insights to the area and to the culture and history of Georgia. It was a very entertaining tour of Mtskheta even learned how to pronounce it! We picked the specific day based on the WeatherUnderground forecast to make sure we had clear weather and were able to bring back a lot of great photos. Eka was able to tailor the Tbilisi part of the day to cover the things that we were not able to do or see on our earlier tour.

Anna was an AMAZING guide and this was one of the best tours I did on my trip to the caucus. The lunch was an incredible bonus, and the tour did an amazing, comprehensive job of showing me the 2 main cities of Georgia in a full day. Top notch!

Wonderful day of sightseeing and sampling the local fare Our guide was well educated and versed in the local and regional history and imparted his knowledge with excellent english. The van was very comfortable and the driver pleasant. We enjoyed the experience so much we booked a second tour different area two days later.

Had a great day exploring the old and current capital cities of Georgia. Anna the guide and Saba the driver were great and a wealth of information. Had some excitement as well with the floods in the city and the escaped zoo animals. We didn't see any Lions or Tigers on the tour...but they were out there somewhere. Thanks Anna for a great and flexible tour.
