5.00We loved our experience with Tako, she explained everything and overall it was a really nice tour. Tako hat two interns with her, Lali and Mariami, who were really nice as well and will become great tour guides one day! Remember that it will be 25€ more expensive as the entrance to the museum and the lunch is not included in the price!

5.00This was a beautiful tour with breathtaking scenery and architecture. Dima was a polite and professional guide who kept everything perfectly organized. He struck the perfect balance: he gave us plenty of space to enjoy the sights, but was always available and helpful the moment we had a question. Definitely a 5-star experience!
Great way to see Georgia!

5.00The tour was very well organized. There were reminders sent a day before the tour, which was very helpful. The guide Oko was very informative and helpful, and the driver Soso was skillful and kind. The pace of the tour was just right, with a good mix of places to visit and with options to explore on your own. The set lunch was delicious and filling, well worth the price paid.
A very good experience
