What To Expect
Traveler’s Meeting Point
Traveler's Meeting Point - is a free space where you can meet new exciting people, play board games, listen to good music or enjoy a glass of wine.
The first place where you will stop is a shop to buy snacks. Since the area doesn't have good restaurants and we do not have a lunch stop, you should get some snacks not to feel too hungry and uncomfortable. And next, we go to a salty lake, where we have an outstanding possibility to take some nice pictures. The lake is on the way to David Gareji Lavra, and the views are astonishing for taking memorable photos. In total, for the shop and the lake, we will have 30 minutes.

5.00We were really impressed with the David Gereja monastery and the beautiful surrounding rainbow mountains! Dima was an excellent and fun guide and we learnt lots about Georgian history and culture, as well as the places we visited. It’s an easy half day tour from Tbilisi with a bit of hiking (which we really enjoyed) - so we highly recommend it as a city escape!
Wonderful experience in the rainbow mountains

5.00The experience was amazing! One of the best tour I’ve ever done so far! :) The group was small, so I felt like we had the chance to know more about each other. Our guide, Misho, was just fantastic, so funny as well! His knowledge about the history of Georgia is just perfect. I really recommend this tour, and in general this tours agency, as this was my second experience with them! ;)
More than just a day trip

5.00It was a wonderful experience! Misho shared so much information about the history and traditions of Georgia that our day trip became much more than just a walk in the mountains. The monastery was truly unique, and the rainbow mountains were incredibly interesting. Highly recommended!

5.00It was a really nice quick trip to the rainbow mountains and David Gareja Monastery. We had a quick stop at the salt lake, and Misho did a very good job explaining the Georgian history and the significance of the place. Misho made the trip engaging and we had a nice hike in the rainbow mountains with all the peace and quiet.. Thank you Misho for a wonderful day. Ohh and I love the thank you souvenir with my name written in Georgian. Till next tour!

5.00Magical experience with Nina We had an amazing trip through Georgia’s magnificent Rainbow Mountains, guided by Nina – a charming, professional and energetic guide who made us feel like family. She designed perfect, balanced and challenging routes, leading us to the breathtaking views of the beautiful Rainbow Mountains, the fortress, and the Salt Lake. Nini taught us a lot about the places: the history of the Georgian villages, the traditions of the inhabitants of the area and the local nature – which made the trip a warmly recommended trip! Thank you Nini, let's go back!
