George the guide was great. Great way to explore and get a history lesson. The Chronicles of Georgia was worth the trip on its own.

Two wonderful places to visit and see. Our guide Badir ( Bubu ) showed us what true Georgian hospitality was and was extremely knowledgeable and even went out of his way to accomodate our plans. Highly recommended.

Disappointing Tour Experience: Concerns Regarding Safety and Expertise

Kat_M, Apr 2025

Our experience with the tour guide was disappointing. While we appreciated the opportunity to see the sites, there were several areas where the tour fell short of our expectations. We found the guide's attention to be frequently diverted by personal phone calls and texting while driving, which raised safety concerns, particularly in heavy traffic. We also felt the historical information provided was somewhat superficial. We often had to prompt for more detailed explanations, which were not always forthcoming. In comparison to other tours we've taken, the depth of historical knowledge and passion for the subject were noticeably lacking. Furthermore, there was an uncomfortable exchange regarding our nation's history. Despite our attempts to clarify the inaccuracies, the guide remained insistent, creating an awkward and unprofessional atmosphere. Overall, we would hesitate to recommend this tour. We believe that a more attentive, knowledgeable, and professional guide would significantly enhance the experience.

Fun and informational tour. Gogi has a passion for his country and clearly knows his stuff. Moreover, he was flexible with our time allowing for shopping, roaming, and deviations from the script. Recommend.

Wonderful trip

AlliahRicci_C, Nov 2024

We had a very nice experience and this all wouldn’t be possible without our tour guide Gogi. He’s friendly and nice, even though the tour is supposed to be only for 6hrs but he accompanied us for like 8hrs which we really appreciate. We’ll definitely be back here! Tbilisi is such underrated place.

Highly recommend! A good mix of the sights

Kate_F, Jun 2024

Going was an excellent guide. Very helpful and knowledgeable. He adapted the tour to suit our needs which we greatly appreciate. Highly recommend!

Georgia in 3 Days Offers more than What one may Expect

Sem_K, May 2024

Mtskhete was special. So was the old town Tbilisi, the Slohur baths, the optional cable car and every single image I engraved in my memory. Our guide was a very punctual, highly professional very knowledgable George. The more we inquired the more he opened up his history, geography, literature and art related treasure chest. He always kept his client- guide distance but as we bombarded him with our detailed inquiries regarding the ancient, old and current Georgia, he lowered his gard and let his amateur side accompany his professionalism. He is worth what Viatour standards require. Thanks for your reliable services.
