December and Christmas Tour - wow!

5.00Couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Oksana who showed everything patiently for us. At the time of our arrival in Georgia, protests were going on, but she ensured this at we are all safe and stayed with us until we caught a cab back to our hotel. Oksana was cheerful and extremely knowledgeable about the entire tour. Highly recommend experiencing this in December. So lucky to have been in a place like this during Christmas season
