I had a wonderful tour of Tbilisi, Oksana is a great guide, would highly recommend! A lot of walking - well worth it!

We had an easy and interesting walking tour with Jonah. Over 3 hours, he took us through the 'must see' and significant spots of Old Tbilisi that has shaped the history of the city and Georgia. This has set the tone for the rest of our trip in Georgia.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
I am so delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful start to your Georgian adventure with Jonah! It truly warms my heart to know that our walking tour helped set such a positive tone for the rest of your journey through our beautiful country.
Jonah is indeed a marvelous storyteller, and he loves sharing the "must-see" icons alongside those special hidden gems that give Tbilisi its unique soul. I am so glad you found the experience both easy and interesting—there is so much history packed into those winding streets, and we are thrilled we could help you uncover it!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to explore with us. We wish you a continued wonderful stay in Georgia and a very happy holiday season!

Christina_B, Nov 2025
This was our second time doing a tour with Oksana and we had a wonderful time walking around Tbilisi. She was incredibly knowledgeable and patient (someone in our party had a lot of questions). She was also very accommodating (someone in our party had a recent knee surgery) and made sure to check in with us regularly to ask if everyone was okay and comfortable. I highly recommend this tour company (friendly.ge) and, if possible, definitely recommend booking with Oksana!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear Christina,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We were delighted to welcome you and your family back for another tour with us.
It means so much to us that you trusted Friendly.ge again to organise your family's visit. Oksana was thrilled to be your guide! She really enjoyed your group's curiosity (we love questions!) and was glad to customise the route to ensure the walk was comfortable and safe for everyone.
That is exactly why we love organising private tours in Georgia — so that we can be perfectly flexible and attentive to the specific needs of every guest.
Thank you for your glowing recommendation. We can't wait to see you again one day!

GEORGIA_K, Mar 2025
If you’re in Tbilisi and not taking a tour with Koba, are you even doing it right? This guy knows the city like the back of his hand—history, culture, hidden gems, and where to find the best khinkali at any given hour!! He made the tour super engaging, full of interesting stories (and zero boring history lectures). Totally recommend!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Wow, what an amazing review, Georgia! 🌟 We couldn’t agree more—Koba truly brings Tbilisi to life with his passion, knowledge, and of course, the best khinkali spots! 🥟😉 We’re so happy you had such a fantastic experience, and we’re grateful for amazing guests like you! Hope to see you again for more adventures in Georgia! 🇬🇪✨

Sofia is an excellent guide, full of knowledge and skill. She answered all our questions with enthusiasm.
