5.00We had an amazing time in Georgia, made even better by our friendly and knowledgeable guide who made everything easy and enjoyable.

5.00By far one of the best tours I have booked. I chose this specifically due to the number of stops and visit to kazbegi, which most operators don’t offer. Service & knowledge of the area was unmatched, and made my visit to Tblisi very memorable. If I’m ever back, I would prioritize booking with them again.
Beautiful scenery

5.00My trip to Georgia was exceptional & a big reason was Traffic Travel. George drive us to Singhali and Kazbeki. He brought Georgia alive for us : sharing insights, history and truly took care of us. And Tsotne himself brought Tbilisi alive for us : bringing both the past & today alive. We would never have learnt and enjoyed Georgia without George and Tsotne 😊😊
More than a touristic trip!

5.00We had an amazing trip! We learned so much from the very competent and friendly guide and driver about history, architecture, ethnicity, politics, languages and so forth. A must do! Only knock is that there can be quite a lot of traffic, but still so much to learn from that as well...
The best part of this...

5.00The best part of this tour was our fantastic guide! A very good driver, he took extra care to make us feel safe on the cliffside roads. The tour was tailored to what we felt like doing, which was excellent. The landscapes were breathtaking, even with the occasional cloud. I can't recommend this tour enough as we are now completely in love with Georgia.
What a wonderful trip and fantastic view

5.00Traffic Travel was the best decision I took for the trip to Gudauri. The tour is as described very friendly, very professional, safe and worthwhile. Our guide Otto was a pleasant guy explained every single bit about the places we visited. We were able to hold conversation with him the entire trip. He spoke very clearly and passionately about the life in Georgia and various other things. After our tour asked him some details about touring the city by ourselves and he gave us some insight into it. Will definitely travel with them again next time and 100% recommend them. Very lucky to have found them.
Memorable, five star experience

5.00I was very impressed with this tour group. As an American, it is hard for me to want to trust tour groups or taxis due to dishonest actions and knowing I have a target on my back. When I was in Tbilisi and Yerevan, there were tour vans on the side of the road. I did not trust them. I went on TripAdvisor and took a chance. What you pay is what you pay. No games were played. Traffic Travel was honest. As for the tour. I had a great guide by the name of Shota who knew his information. I was able to talk with him and hold conversation throughout the trip. There were plenty of sites to see. One of the nice things was the route was arranged where there was things to see throughout the day versus you see everything and then have a quiet 2-3 hour ride back. An example was seeing one site at the start of the day and on the way back seeing the second site. The owner was easy to get a hold of on What’s app. The only thing I would recommend, as a logistical detail, if you are the tourist and stay at an Airbnb and list the closest hotel for pick up, definitely specify that to the owner to eliminate confusion. My driver asked the hotel two blocks from my Airbnb that he was there to pick me up and they correctly told him I was not staying there. Also I would recommend that the driver make contact the day before but to be fair to traffic travel, I also arranged my trip the morning before. These are small details that did not take away from a five star experience. I would go with this travel group again!!!
