Great trip we saw a little part of Georgia for a very good price. The trip was a full day and we visited interesting places worthwhile seeing. The group was just the right size. Misha our guide was amiable and knowledgeable. The only problem was that the minivan was full and i got the last seat.
Hallucinatory organization

Embarrassing! Departure half an hour late, on the bus you did not enter, two children in the arms of their parents, driving standing... at the first site of visit a passenger was relocated with others and then a seat is freed. Guide who spoke mostly Russian, 45 minutes, and a quarter of an hour (to be fine) in English... he never gave meeting time, so you keep delaying for departure... stop in the restaurant that was paradoxical, very slow, we were there more than two hours and many did not have their dishes ordered... icing on the cake fight between some people with bloody local and screams from police film... restart for the visit of other sites obviously late and in fact in Mtskheta we arrived was already closed (function started) and we did not visit it inside... the very beautiful places... the absurd organization!
Great trip with Misha

We had a wonderful day exploring Mtskheta, Jvari, Uplistsikhe, and Gori with Misha. The trip was perfectly organized and filled with incredible views at every turn. Misha is an excellent guide—incredibly knowledgeable about Georgian culture and history, providing fascinating context to every site we visited. Beyond the history, it was just a genuinely fun trip! If you're looking for a guide who is professional, insightful, and great company, we highly recommend Misha.
