At first, we walk through the Tbilisi just to know what the city had to offer. I would recommend anyone to take this tour. I want to thank our guide Thea that walked with us through the major points of interest and share her historical knowledge.

We loved Tbilisi but we should have ventured on our own and not a tour. Even though it was private and our tour guide was great I'm not much of a follower and like to do things my own way, at my own speed. I really took this tour for photo opportunities but didn't have enough control to really go to the places I wanted to to get the shots I wanted. If you like to know everything about everyplace and like to follow around someone who is very knowledgeable being led by the hand then this may be for you.
Georgia just wowwww

We visited Georgia with a private guide, Giorgi Orjonikidze and his planning and organization of trip was wonderful. Never wasted a moment and had an exiting trip and the food was awesome and delicious. In simple words, had a fantastic trip and would recommend Giorgi to everyone.
Highly recommended!

At first I really didn’t know anything about Georgia but this enlightened me. And it was great to see the sights and hear some facts straight from our local tour guide, Larsha(?) he was very knowledgeable about the city and was very accommodating. It was the last leg of our stay in Georgia and the restaurant, Taglaura, where we had lunch nailed it!! It was the best Georgian food we had our entire stay. Thanks to Georgian Holidays for planning this. P.S. it was half walking tour so be prepared to walk and hike.
