Nana was a sweet and considerate guide with a great knowledge of history. The time was budgeted appropriately between all of the stops. Good value.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Sweet, thoughtful and full of history — Nana will love this description! ❤️ We’re especially pleased the pacing between stops felt just right and that you found the experience good value. Thank you for joining us! 😊🇬🇪
There is a lot of climbing involved in one of the stops, so appropriate shoes and fitness level is required.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for sharing this helpful tip for future travelers! 😊 Comfortable, non-slip shoes can definitely make a big difference on the steeper parts of the route. We appreciate you highlighting this practical detail! 🥾⛰️
Great tour with diverse locations. Our tour guide Gio was very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the day, making sure we were comfortable.
I especially enjoyed the diversity of the places we visited, from historical sites and cultural landmarks to beautiful scenery.
Badri was the smoothest driver, making this trip so enjoyable.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
From history and culture to beautiful scenery, we’re delighted you enjoyed the variety of the day! 🇬🇪✨ Gio’s knowledge and attentive nature paired with Badri’s wonderfully smooth driving sounds like a great team. Thank you for sharing the journey with us! ❤️
Fantastic tour. Have done three others on my current trip and this was by far the best. Nana was an excellent guide, she knew so much (history across different periods, culture, food, religion, and even the culture and history of neighbouring countries like Armenia) and could answer questions in depth. I learned so much about Georgia through her as a guide.
All the stops were very interesting and this your gives you a great insight into Georgia across many time periods (from ancient times to the Soviet period).
Response from Host, Oct 2026
What a wonderful compliment, especially after three other tours! 🥰🇬🇪 We’re thrilled Nana’s knowledge across Georgia’s history, culture, religion and neighboring regions made the journey so enriching. From ancient times to the Soviet era, it sounds like you got a fascinating glimpse into many chapters of Georgia’s story. Thank you for joining us! ❤️
This was a very good historical trip. Saw the old ca e dwellings and Stalin museum. Worthwhile experience.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
From the ancient cave city of Uplistsikhe to the more recent history of the Stalin Museum — quite a journey through time in one day! 😊🇬🇪 We’re glad you found the experience worthwhile. Thank you for exploring Georgia’s history with us! ❤️
Highly enjoyable day trip, with interesting mix of historical and cultural highlights. Svetitskhoveli Cathedral is remarkable. Our guide was Tako — she was lively, well versed, and really put effort into the tour. The optional Georgian group lunch in Gori is well worth the price — some of the best food I had on my entire trip and I recommend joining if you can.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Sounds like Tako, Svetitskhoveli and that Georgian lunch made quite the team! 😄❤️ We’re delighted you enjoyed the mix of history and culture, and especially happy the lunch became one of your favorite meals of the whole trip. We’ll make sure Tako hears your kind words. Thank you for the recommendation! 🇬🇪😊

Response from Host, Aug 2026
So glad you enjoyed your day with Luka! 😊 It’s wonderful to hear that you liked the mix of Georgian culture, interesting places and activities along the way. Thank you for exploring with us, and we hope to see you again! ❤️🇬🇪
Very good day tour. Uplistsikhe cave city turned out to be better than expected. Our tour guide was good too (think his name was Beka?)

Thank you so much for your kind review! 😊 We're delighted to hear you had such a great day and that Uplistsikhe exceeded your expectations—it really is a fascinating place! We're also happy to hear you enjoyed your guide, and yes, it sounds like it was Beka. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. Hope to see you in Georgia again soon! 💛
Interesting tour, especially the visit to Gori with the Stalin Museum. Our guide Salo was very good. But the stops could have been a little shorter in Uplistsikhe and Mtskheta, where there was a long wait after we had seen everything there was to see.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! 😊 We're glad you enjoyed the tour, especially Gori and the Stalin Museum, and that Salo helped make the experience a great one.

This is a full on tour covering lots of bits of Georgian history and very varied. Tour guide Kate, possessed unbelievable English vocabulary. She was excellent and this was my second tour with this company and both were professionally done and highly recommended

The guide did a great job. His passion about the Stalin museum brought to life one the parts of the tour I thought would be boring. The group lunch didn't happen due to a lack of willing participants. However, being left to fend for ourselves in such a drab town wasn't great.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

We had enough time in each place. The journeys between provided an opportunity to relax. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and struck a good balance with information shared. We were happy to be able to opt for a more affordable lunch, rather than participating in the set menu lunch.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your lovely review! 😊

The vehicle was modern and very comfortable. The tour was well planned, and the tour guide Ela was extremely knowledgeable and friendly (she was 19 years old too I’m very impressed). The Stalin museum/home was the highlight of the trip for me, as a history junkie. This tour was so much better than the one I took a few days ago with budget friendly tours, another Georgian tour company. I strongly recommend you to book this tour. You will not be disappointed

Absolutely loved this tour! Our tour guide, Tako, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience both fun and informative. Roman was also very helpful and communicated everything I needed to know before the tour. The van was clean and comfortable throughout the trip. I’ve already booked another day tour with Gamarjoba and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to explore Georgia (Sakartvelo) safely and comfortably.
