5.00We booked with Real Georgia Tours and had an excellent experience—highly recommend! Maria, the organizer, is incredibly responsive and on top of everything; she replies instantly and makes planning stress-free. Their tour guides, especially Zezva and Ando, were fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to travel with. We booked somewhat last minute for a group of six, so the van transportation was a bit limited in comfort, but considering how reasonable their prices are, I would definitely request a more comfortable vehicle next time. Overall, this company is professional, organized, and offers amazing tours in both Georgia and Armenia. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone visiting the region.
An excellent way to visit...

5.00Our guide Temo was superb. Knowledgeable about all the sites and history we visited. Excellent command of the language. Masterful in navigating the chaotic roads and parking in Armenia and Georgia. He was warm and welcoming to answer any questions we had and take photos at key sites. This area has a lot of rich history mixed with very modern European Feeling (Republic Square). Would highly recommend if you want to take a few days to understand the natural beauty of Armenia and go to major cultural and historic attractions.

5.00Our driver and guide Temo was fantastic. He was an extremely safe driver, no matter what the conditions (rain, fog, snow etc). He was a wealth of knowledge and we had a very relaxing and informative time in Armenia while Temo took care of everything. The monasteries and churches were spectacular, as were the views when the fog cleared. It was like being back in the USSR at times...which was fun! We loved that Temo was a humanitarian who could see things from many points of view. We thoroughly recommend Temo as a guide, and all round lovely guy!!!! Kylie and Dave, Aussies living in London

5.00The tour is very nice and the guide was flexible in meeting our needs. The car is relatively comfortable. Beautiful sights and enough time on every location. The traffic/driving is not like we are used to from home countries, it is more aggressive here and we saw segertal accidents on the road. Our guide also helped us to check in for the accomodations which was very kind. I recommend this tour for everyone curious in visiting Armenia.
An amazing trip

5.00At big thanks to Zezba for a smooth road trip from Tblisi and Yerevan. We saw all the local attractions and our guide was very informative. Would highly recommend this trip.
