The tour was well organized, with enough time allocated at each location. Our tour guide Kate was really knowledgeable about all the locations and she along with the driver made sure we were comfortable all the time. Highly recommended!
I can't praise the team behind this tour enough. The driver did a really good job (I say this after experiencing other drivers in Georgia) and Anna was absolutely excellent. Too bad for all the other guides I will meet in the future, because they will never be as good as Anna.
I feared the lenght of this tour, but it was interesting to learn about such different sights and the history of the area. The group was a great mix of older and younger people. Friends and couples. Solo travelers.
I brought snacks but there were plenty of places to get food and beverages.

Thank you for choosing to travel with us, and we hope to see you again on another Georgian adventure! 🇬🇪❤️
Gabriel is a 10/10 guide who deserve a shout-out for his amazing tour to Kazbegi from Tbilisi. I really enjoyed the tour and learning more about Georgia/Sakartvelo from a local guide who loves and knows his country. This tour is well organized and the car is very comfortable. You get to see amazing beautiful mountain and taste different flavors of chacha and honey. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Tbilisi.
Response from Host, May 2026

A very organised tour, from begining to the end everything was very thought out. The host Miriam was awesome and enthusiastic. Unfortunately out of anyones control roads was closed due to weather but plan B was already thought out... Vehicle was very comfortable and food delicious.
A great experience, thank you
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🧡
We’re really happy to hear you felt everything was well organised from beginning to end — that means a lot to us. Weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, but we always try to have a solid Plan B ready so the day still feels full and enjoyable 😊
Miriam will be so glad to hear you found her awesome and enthusiastic! And we’re happy the vehicle was comfortable and the food hit the spot too.
Thank you for trusting us — hope to see you again in Georgia! 🇬🇪✨
The Gudauri & Kazbegi day tour with Gamarjoba Georgia Tours was top-tier energy and planning.
Our guide Catherine = walking encyclopaedia, Informative, patient, fun, and somehow always one step ahead of the clock (time management Queen 👑).
Driver Jaba = mountain whisperer. Smoothest and safest driving on the curves of the Georgian Military Road. Zero fear, 100% trust, elite playlist-in-head vibes.
Weather: -3°C, breezy, spicy-cold — the kind that makes you question every life choice… until you see those snow views in Gudauri and Kazbegi and suddenly you’re like: “Worth it, would freeze again.”
Highly recommended!!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Wow — thank you for this incredible review! 🔥🙌
You just made our whole team smile. We’re so happy to hear that your Gudauri & Kazbegi tour had that perfect mix of top-tier planning, great energy, and unforgettable views.
Catherine will absolutely love being called a “walking encyclopaedia” and “time-management queen” — that’s exactly her! 👑 And Jaba being described as a “mountain whisperer” is honestly the most accurate (and best) compliment ever. His calm, smooth driving on those Military Road curves is pure art.
And yes… that spicy-cold weather hits hard 😄 But those views really do make you forget the frozen fingers and questionably cold life choices. We’re glad you felt it was worth every shiver!
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing feedback and for recommending the tour.
We hope to see you again for more adventures — chilly or sunny — in Georgia! 🇬🇪❤️
Great day trip. The stops are well picked out and the mountains are beautiful. Elle was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable about all the sights. If you get car sick easily, then the drive up to the church is a lot. Overall, would strongly recommend!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 💛
We’re so glad you had a great day and enjoyed the stunning mountain scenery — Georgia’s landscapes are truly breathtaking! 🌄✨ Elle will be thrilled to know you appreciated her knowledge and guiding — she always puts her heart into making every tour special 🇬🇪.
And yes, the road up to the church can be quite the adventure 😅 — thank you for mentioning that for future travelers! We really appreciate your warm recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon for another beautiful experience in Georgia! ❤️
Great tour, very well organized. Shoti is an amazing guide and very knowledgable about Georgian history.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! 💛
We’re really glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated how well it was organized — that’s always our goal! 🌄✨ Shoti will be so happy to hear your feedback; he truly loves sharing his deep knowledge of Georgian history and making every tour memorable 🇬🇪.
Thank you again for joining us — we hope to see you soon for another beautiful experience in Georgia! ❤️
Beka is a great tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. The tour was a lot of fun and Georgia is BEAUTIFUL!
The experience was exceptional.
The mountains and church were great. Anna was not just a host but a very resourceful person. She was the true highlight of the trip. We couldn't have wished for a better tour guide than her. She was amazing.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
That’s such a beautiful message — thank you so much for sharing it! 🧡
We’re really happy to hear you had such an exceptional experience, and we couldn’t agree more — Anna truly is amazing! She always goes above and beyond to make every tour special, and your kind words will mean a lot to her. Hope to have you back for another adventure soon! 🌄✨
This was my second tour from Tbilisi with Gamarjoba, and like the first one it was excellent! The tour covers very different monasteries in Georgia compared to Armenia, with more stunning scenery the further north we went. Ananuri Fortress was also interesting to learn about the history, and also had lovely views of the reservoir.
Tota was my guide again, and as before was brilliant... gave lots of explanation at each site and was able to keep us all engaged and happy. It's a long day tour, but definitely worth it to explore and experience the beautiful Georgian countryside!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
That’s such a wonderful review — thank you so much! 🌿 We’re thrilled you joined us again and had another great experience exploring Georgia’s stunning north. It’s fantastic to hear you enjoyed the mix of monasteries, scenery, and history — Ananuri really is a special spot. Tota will be overjoyed to know you appreciated his knowledge and enthusiasm once again. Thank you for your continued trust and kind words — it truly means a lot to our whole team ❤️
A well paced trip covering some lovely sights with drives through lots of stunning scenery in the Caucasian mountains . I enjoyed all the key sights very much - the Jinvali Reservoir, Ananuri Fortress, Friendship Monument and Gergeti Trinity Church. We had plenty of time at each location. Lunch was very well organised and well timed but the food itself was average. The tour guide Luka was extremely knowledgeable and had lots of energy. It was a very long day with some delays but overall a great trip. The 4WD up to Gergeti Church was a bit hair-raising for me but worth the trip. The only part of the trip which was a bit superfluous was the honey tasting.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! 💛 We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring the stunning Caucasian mountains and visiting highlights like Jinvali Reservoir, Ananuri Fortress, the Friendship Monument, and Gergeti Trinity Church. It’s wonderful that Luka’s knowledge and energy made the day even more engaging.
We also really appreciate your honest notes about the lunch, the honey tasting, and the 4WD ride — it’s very helpful for us to know what stood out and what could be improved. We’re glad the views and experiences made it all worthwhile, and we’ll make sure to share your kind words with Luka.
We’d love to welcome you back for more adventures in Georgia! 🌄
A great trip and highly recommended. Ilia was a fantastic guide, giving a good overview of Georgia and the region.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! 🌟 We’re delighted to hear you had such a great trip and that Ilia made the experience special with his knowledge and insights. He really enjoys sharing the stories of Georgia and the region, and it’s wonderful that this came through during your tour. Your warm recommendation means a lot to us, and we’d love to welcome you back for more adventures in the future! 💛
A long day tour and nice to get out of Tbilisi. However, the stops are photo opportunities rather than anything of real interest. The best part is being in the Kazbegi mountains. The driving is broken up with rest breaks and you feel obliged to have a group lunch which costs extra. We were in a group of 14 others and it was nice to chat to others from all over the world.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the time in the Kazbegi mountains and meeting fellow travelers from around the world. 🌍 We do our best to balance the long journey with breaks and photo stops, though we understand it may feel like more of a sightseeing tour at times. As for the group lunch, it’s optional, but many guests find it a nice way to relax together and experience local food. We truly appreciate your perspective, as it helps us improve, and we’re happy you still had a memorable day out of Tbilisi! 💛
The trip allowed us to discover many interesting places at a pleasant pace. The guide and driver were excellent!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We're happy to hear the trip gave you the chance to explore interesting places at a comfortable pace — that’s exactly what we aim for! Your lovely feedback about the guide and driver means a lot, and we’ll be sure to pass it along. Hope to see you again soon for more great discoveries in Georgia!
This is a long tour but worth it to see the mountain region if you are not planning to go there separately. It was great to see a quick peek of the mountains. The driver and tour guide were great at keeping us on time and ensuring we had plenty of time at each stop, I would highly recommend a visit to this region! The views are beautiful.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🌄 We're really glad you enjoyed getting a glimpse of the stunning mountain region — even a short visit can leave such a big impression! It's great to hear that the guide and driver helped everything run smoothly and on time while still letting you soak in each stop. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back someday for a longer mountain adventure! 😊

Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊 We’re really glad you got to experience a bit more of Georgia beyond Tbilisi — the landscapes, history, and culture truly have so much to offer. Hope this was just the beginning, and we’d love to have you back to explore even more!🌄

Fantastic day :) 10/10 the views were breathtaking and the guide looked after us so well and was so knowledgeable and kind. His name was ILIA, we stopped at the most beautiful stops along the way.
Response from Host, May 2025
It sounds like you had an amazing day! 😊 Ilia seems like the perfect guide—knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated to making your experience unforgettable. Those breathtaking views must have made the journey even more special. It’s always great when a guide takes you to the most beautiful spots, and it sounds like this tour checked all the boxes! 🌄
Overall good experience. Unfortunately we weren’t able to go to Kazbegi due to the snow. Lunch was excellent with plenty of options
Response from Host, Apr 2025
It sounds like you had a solid experience despite the snow keeping you from Kazbegi! It's always disappointing when weather affects the plans, but it’s great that the lunch made up for it—plenty of options and delicious food can definitely lift the spirits. Hopefully, you still got to enjoy other beautiful parts of the trip, and it seems like overall it was still a memorable experience. Definitely sounds like a tour worth recommending, even if plans change!
I had an amazing time! These places are a must-visit when you're in Georgia—an experience you absolutely can't miss!

The trip was superbly organized and the scenery is breathtaking - a little snowstorm didn’t stop us to explore the ancient monastery of Kazbegi. A must when visiting Georgia

It sounds like you had an unforgettable experience despite the snowstorm! Kazbegi's ancient monastery, with its breathtaking views, truly is a must-see in Georgia. The fact that you were able to explore it even in such weather shows how well-organized the trip was. Thank you for sharing your adventure—it's sure to inspire others to visit!

The beautiful nature in Kazbegi and Gudauri. The church in Stepantsminda and the view from the friendship monument.
A 3-4 hours terrible traffic queue on our way back was a setback to an otherwise perfect day trip with an excellent guide.

The mountains were gorgeous, so beautiful and peacful. The monasteries were interesting. It is a long day, and alot of driving, so be prepared with snacks and books. Some people stayed a night in the mountains, I wish I had done that, and returned with the next day group. My guide Nina Oke knew her history, and was really fun ! She made the tour !
Response from Host, Sep 2024
It sounds like a fantastic experience! The beauty and tranquility of the mountains can be truly rejuvenating. Staying overnight to soak in more of that peaceful atmosphere would have been a great idea! It’s wonderful that Nina made such an impression with her knowledge and fun personality. What was your favorite part of the tour?
The sights in the mountains were spectacular. Our guide, Mari, was super enthusiastic and informative. A long day, but we'll worth it.
