5.00Our 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!
