5.00We had an excellent one day private tour with Zviad. He was very helpful and knowledgable throughout. Not only did we have a smooth day, but thanks to Zviad, we even had a memorable lunch overlooking the Caucasus, tasting some local delicacies. This is a tour we definitely recommend as it's a day well spent. And if you get Zviad, you're lucky!

5.00Absolutely incredible experience! My trip to the Caucasus Mountains and the Georgia-Russia border, organized through Viator, was beautiful . The breathtaking landscapes, with towering peaks and lush valleys, left me in awe at every turn. Our guide Zviad was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing insights about the rich history and culture of the region, making the experience even more immersive. The itinerary was perfectly curated, allowing us to explore and enjoy authentic Georgian cuisine. I would recommend it to anyone interested in seeing the natural beauty of Georgia. Five stars all the way! Thank you, Zviad, for an unforgettable journey!

5.00Zviad was a wonderful guide and also just a really cool person to spend the day with! The Kazbegi region is absolutely astonishing, and it felt like every turn in the road revealed an even more spectacular view than the last. Our lunch stop was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and it was really nice to just take our time chatting and eating and watching the clouds drift over the mountains. We'd definitely both recommend Zviad for any tours—we're considering a second trip to Georgia soon and will hopefully be booking more with him!
Amazing trip with beautiful views on the Georgian Military Highway

5.00Excellent private tour with Zviad and amazing chat along the way. We stopped at the Zhinvali Reservoir, Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument, Gergeti Trinity Church, Georgia-Russia border and on our way back to Tbilisi we stopped at Ananuri Foretress which was very fun to explore around and climb up and down. Each stop was unique in its own way. The car was also superb and the entire ride was very comfortable. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00It was a fantastic trip that showed me some of the most beautiful places in the Caucasus, especially the part from Gergeti to Russian border. The scenery was stunning! That was also the reason I took this tour instead of others. My tour guide Zviadis is not only a very skilled driver but also a very knowledgeable and kind guide. I would totally recommend this tour if you're visiting Tbilisi/Georgia.
