As it was raining throughout the day it was cold windy it was a good tour however the guide could have explained all details in the warmth of the car and then taken us to show We stood in the rain while he explained this tour can be avoided if you are not used to the cold The good time to visit is September October

Great private tour with Gogi. He was very knowledgeable with all of the sites and very patient with our child who enjoyed exploring the caves in Uplistsikhe.

Our guide picked us up on time from our hotel and we set out for Mtskheta (the ancient capital of Georgia) and Jvari Monastery...the traffic in Tbilisi is a nightmare and George handled it well and safely! He provided lots of history and information about the sites we visited and was amenable to our request to omit Stalin's Museum and replace with a visit the The Chronicle of Georgia....thank you for that.....our favourite part of the tour and definitely worth seeing. The Caves of Uflistsikhe were disappointing, due to some rain, which made them a little slippy to clamber over and unfortunately after spending time in Cappadocia, a little disappointing, in comparison. Highly recommend you do this tour from Tbilisi and request George for an enjoyable day!
George is the best guide !
