5.00We had a wonderful experience exploring Jvari and Mtskheta with George. He was not only knowledgeable and engaging but also made the entire tour fun and memorable. His way of sharing history and stories kept us interested throughout. We started the journey with him as our guide, but by the end, it truly felt like we had gained a friend. The views from top of Jvari is beautiful and the visits to all the monasteries are so enriching and refreshing. The handmade wine ice cream recommended by George is the best you can find in Tbilisi. This tour was a perfect start to our travel in Georgia. Highly recommended!
