Excellent day tour, well paced. Scenery and sights are captivating. Markho was a wonderful communicator and freely shared his extensive knowledge of Georgian history. He ensured we had a day in Georgia that we will always treasure. The restaurant was a highlight- wonderful, fresh Georgian food and magical location.

A Fun Day Out

Alexandra_B, Dec 2024

This was an excellent day out discovering the gems of Georgia outside Tbilisi. My guide Temo is a gem of a person - so kind, friendly and full of interesting information. Definitely recommended!

A must trip!

Shakir_B, Oct 2024

This trio city/location trip is a must when in Georgia. And it was made perfect by our guide-driver Tariel. The kids (6 and 13) had a wonderful time. What I loved the most is it didn’t feel rushed. We took our time exploring and taking pictures. Tariel is very knowledgeable and willing to take the extra mile to make the experience more informative and enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Great day trip from Tbilisi

Eindrucksvolle Tour mit vielen Details über die georgische Geschichte

Valerie_B, Jul 2024

Makho war ein sehr engagierter und absolut freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Reiseführer. Ich war mit meiner besten Freundin unterwegs und wir hatten das Glück allein mit ihm zu sein. Es war sehr kurzweilig und Makho konnte uns immer ein interessante Geschichte über Georgien und die georgische Kultur erzählen. Er wusste sehr viel über die georgische Geschichte, Religion und Politik. Der Tag war absolut perfekt und die Tour sehr eindrucksvoll! Wir würden sie jederzeit wieder bei ihm buchen.
