We booked this tour for our first full day in Georgia and it was a great choice for an introduction to the area around Tbilisi and a lot of the history of the region. All of the stops were extremely interesting, the food at lunch was some of the best we had for our whole trip, and our guide was very helpful with questions in both English and Russian. He also gave us great advice on where to go for dinner and (the most important thing on a trip in Georgia!) where to get the best wine.
Jimmy was the best guide!...

Jimmy was the best guide! He really represented Georgia well. It was a very entertaining tour. Can definitly recommend joining this tour. The biggest negative point is the choice of restaurant. You get driven to a mediocore restaurant with high prices. Georgian Cuisine is great and there are a lot of nice restaurants. However, this one does unfortunately not represent that at all.
