I want to say thank you this company, your service is really great. I understand it is uncomfortable when plans are changed, but sometimes it happens and when company understands it and doesnt complain, it is very appreciable. Stalini Museum was quite old styled and a little bit of boring for me (my friends think contrary), but Uplistsikhe exceeded all expectations. Your service is better than I was expected from Georgian company :)))
Freedom again

In spite of Covid, I decided to visit Georgia, I choose this tour, because of its duration and wanted to be near Tbilisi. My guide Irakli was absolutely great man, we had pleasant communication during the day, he told me a lot of stories about the sites and, also I got free transfer to Airport. This was fantastic day, we had supper with view on Tbilisi. Thank u again Irakli!
Great experience with a friendly guide

Me and my friend travelled to Georgia, because we have heard so much about what a wonderful destination it is - with great sights, delicious food and vibrant nightlife. After enjoying Tbilisi for several days, we thought we had seen everything in Georgia - we were so wrong! We decided to take a tour to nearby places before leaving and were lucky enough to have David as a guide, who showed us Mtskheta, Gori and Uplistsikhe in just one day. We took lots of memorable photos and flew back to Poland with some wonderful memories. Thanks, David!
Totally recommended :)

After spending couple of days in beautiful Tbilisi, we decided to go out and visit cities nearby. Mtskheta Gori Uplistsikhe Day Trip was just what we needed! All the places are pretty ancient, they carry interesting stories and we had looots of questions so We were lucky to have David as our tour guide, he is a real professional. Just make sure you will travel with BBgeorgia!
Absolutely fantastic!

My friend and I went on this trip during our time in Tbilisi and were not disappointed. Our main goal was to visit Gori however our very knowledgeable guide Davit showed us many other sites that we wouldn’t have even thought of such as the previous capital of Georgia, an ancient cave town and Jvari monastery. I can not recommend this tour or company enough - incredible value for money!
