5.00Thank you for your guided tour! Very informative, reveals ancient Georgia in 8 hours! Visited the windswept Jwari temple, and Stalin Museum in Gori makes you look at the history and biography of this man from different angles. The stone town of Uplisciche is surprising and fascinating with every twist, depth, crevice. I want to go out and study Uplistiche for hours! Mtskheta - a place that also leaves you indifferent, very impressed by the beautiful church! And, of course, a special thanks to tour guide Konstantin and for now an intern, but no doubt in the future an excellent storyteller Gary! It was you who made our trip unforgettable! We'll definitely get back to you!
On the paths of the Saints and the Chief.
