A well structured trip that covered all the stops in Ancient Georgia that was sceduled, giving us a good perspective about the history of Georgia.

A very long day. I booked an English tour and was apart of a dual langiage tour. I am not interested in listening to everything twice and once in a language that I cannot understand. This means everything takes twice as long which turned a tour that should be 6-7 hours to a 11 hour tour.

I really enjoyed the tour. The tour guide, David, is a real professional. Not only is he knowledgeable of the regional history and culture, he is also expert at managing a group of people, keeping them engaged, cared for, and comfortable. As we moved through the day attending four glorious sites, David kept track of everyone in the group, effortlessly adjusted the plan to smooth out the logistics, switched between English and Russian to accommodate our language abilities, and built rapport with vendors and all of us customers in the group to make for a pleasant day. No one got left behind, no one threw a tantrum due in no small measure to David's prowess as a guide. The van was comfortable enough, our driver was courteous and friendly and knew how to drive. All the sites were quite magnificent and we had enough time to explore each. The two things to keep in mind. If you happen to be a woman, you may want to bring a scarf to cover your head if you do not want to use one of the scarves that are readily available at each site. If you are a man, either wear long pants or bring covering for your legs to enter the churches. It was a bit more challenging for men in our group to find a large enough scarf to cover their legs. Note also that a visit to Uplistsikhe involves a lot of climbing the rocks, which could be treacherous on a wet day, if your shoes do not have a certain degree of traction, or you do not possess a certain degree of fitness.
From the birthplace of Christianity in Georgia, to the birthplace of one of the most controversial figures in the world's history, to a picturesque monastery in a most striking mountaintop location, to an ancient cave town, all in one day. You will probably enjoy it; i certainly did.

Great tour, easy communication. The tour itself covers some important items too see around Tbilisi.
we did not have enough time, otherwise we would have taken a longer tour. There are so many beautiful places in Georgia, we wish we had more time.
Omar, our guide was great. He is friendly, knowledgeable.
He made sure we are all having a great time.

We visited some places and we have enough time to visit all destinations, no rush at all, our tour guide Natalia is good in explaining and guide us well for the whole trip. She is also very professional and ensure we can follow and understand all the instructions. She is also ready to explain us for every single details for all destinations. Overall experience is good.

David was great. Amazing command of many second languages. He narrated the fascinating sites in depth.

Interesting sites, very good tour guide and driver. The Stalin museum could have been better with audio headphone option, but that was the museum set up.

This tour is not for those with mobility issues as they will miss out on exploring Uplitsikhe. The incongruity of visiting Stalin's museum and then one of the cathedrals his government tried to destroy seems to be lost on Georgian culture.
Still, this was a very good tour, with plenty of time to take some stunning pictures.
There is little doubt that Uplistsikhe is absolutely astonishing and has to be seen to be believed.

Our tour guide Lasha is exceptional guy who is genuinely friendly, knowledgeable and patience.
I enjoyed all destinations, an easy day out. Good value for money too.
LiChun_M, Oct 2024
The places we saw were great and we learned enough about each site. Overall we had enough time for each place and not felt rushed. However the tour guide ran out of patience at the end and was rude toward one of the tour members. The tour guide didn’t take the whole group together to walk the monastery, the cathedral and the cave town to explain things. Not sure if this was how the tour company does its tour

I had a great outing! Tami our guide was awesome, always very attentive and answering all of our questions. The tour itself was very well put together, the chosen sights were very much memorable!
Marko_T, May 2024

Были на прекрасной экскурсии в Мцкхету, Джвари, Уплисцисе и Гори. Замечательный экскурсовод, историк, с глубокими познаниями. Очень много рассказывал про все места, которые мы посетили, а также про историю Грузии в целом.
Программа не напряжная: в нашей группе и пенсионерки, и годовалый ребёнок, все остались довольны. Пообедали в классном месте.
Очень понравилась экскурсия всем (а у нас компания разношерстная и разновозрастная). И тем не менее, все остались довольны.
Гид гхорошо говорит и на русском, и на английском.
Спасибо!

Reservamos esta excursión para conocer algo más de Georgia y no solo la capital. Diana fue una magnífica guía, animada, simpática y con mucho que contar durante todo el viaje. Nos habló del país, de las costumbres y nos puso en situación antes y durante cada una de nuestras paradas.
Muy recomendable
