Iona (Jonah) is an excellent guide! We absolutely loved our experience. He had so much background information on each place we stopped including the history of Georgia, legends in Georgian culture, politics and economics in Georgia, and the list goes on. We learned so much from him today. The hike was stunning and rejuvenating. Each part of the drive was scenic, just be ready for some real off roading! We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Georgia. Thank you!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

He truly loves sharing Georgia’s stories, history, and culture — and it’s wonderful to hear how much you learned and enjoyed the scenic off-road journey. We hope to welcome you again for another mountain adventure with Friendly.ge!

Best tour during our stay in Georgia!

We want to say a big Thank you to our guide Gio and the driver! The entire experience was a perfect blend of breathtaking scenery, fascinating history, and professional guidance. from the very beginning, our guide Gio was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly passionate about the region. Our trip to Trusso valley is definitely the highlight of our time in Georgia. The remnants of old Ossetian settlements, and the unique geological features of the valley—including the mineral springs and colorful travertine formations that make Trusso Valley so visually unique. The hike itself was moderate and manageable, even for my 70 years old mother. We had plenty of time for stops, photos, and just soaking in the surroundings. The views were unreal—endless stretches of open valley flanked by towering cliffs and distant mountain peaks. It felt like stepping into a forgotten part of the Caucasus. What stood out most was how untouched and peaceful the area felt. Unlike more popular routes, Trusso Valley remains relatively quiet and pristine, which made the experience feel all the more special.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Svetlana, What a joy to read your heartfelt words! We’re so grateful that you chose to travel with us and share such meaningful moments with your mother. Guests like you are truly amazing, and it makes us proud that our exclusive itinerary to Trusso Valley became the highlight of your stay in Georgia. This hidden corner of the Caucasus is indeed magical — peaceful, untouched, and full of stories — and it was a privilege to explore it together. We’ll be sure to pass on your warm thanks to Gio and our driver, who will be so happy to know their passion and care helped make your journey unforgettable. We hope Georgia will welcome you again soon — there are always more discoveries waiting here!
