5.00Excellent day trip! Constantine kept us engaged and entertained with many facts and anecdotes. Interesting visit to the Stalin museum, Gori. My daughters loved the ‘cave houses’ in Uplistsikhe and exploring those! Thanks Constantine! Paula.

5.00Three days ago, I came back from Georgia, but part of my heart and soul remained there... In return, I brought a warmth of heart generously shared with me by Georgians, wine and churchelu, fond memories, and many photographs and videos I had taken on my journey. Now, all my reviews of Georgia I'll start with the phrase: "Watch out! The habit, dependence and desire to stay forever in Georgia arises instantly and unconditionally as soon as you set foot on this ancient land." I will definitely return to Georgia more times. And now without lyrical derogations about the 26 March 2026 tour from Tbilisi to Jvari, Mtskheta, Uplisikh and Gori. We were accompanied by guide George and driver Mamuka, both professionals in their field. Everything was on time and on schedule. The tour was conducted in Russian and English, as our group was very multi-ethnic. George, a finely educated young man. Polite, positive, attentive to detail and most importantly - he likes what he does - and this always has a positive effect on the atmosphere of the tour. We left Tbilisi at 9 a.m. and returned at 6:30 p.m. I didn't have much time in Svetitskhoveli and Uplistich, but the "obligatory program" of visiting Stalin's museum in Gori was not a surprise only to me. The group clearly assumed a viewing of Gori or free time, but in Gori we only had the Stalin Museum. My personal opinion - if you remove Gori from the tour (in the format that it was on our trip), and the tour time is not shortened - the tour will benefit. But the most important thing without which this review cannot be finished: no photo or video will ever convey the fantastic beauty of these places and the impressions of what you saw will always stay with you, and the minor roughness in the organization of the tour - they will be forgotten by you the same evening over a glass of Georgian wine. Thanks to all the tour organizers! Cheers and success!
Positive emotions and a good mood all day
