5.00My family and I visited Georgia in December and had an amazing walking tour with Teona. She told us many interesting stories about the country and its history, and even taught us a few Georgian words, which was really fun. She was very accommodating to our needs and made the whole experience very enjoyable. We had a great time and would definitely recommend her. Madloba, Teona!

5.00I took this tour on my first day in Georgia. I must say, at the end of the tour I felt like I knew the whole history of Georgia. This is because Teona is such a knowledgeable guide.. she walked us through so many landmarks like the clock tower and quite a few churches. We stopped for some hot wine and also for some Georgian pastries at one of the oldest bakeries in the city. At each stop, Teona would give us full history with dates and context. We then went and took a cable car to the Mother of Georgia statue which was such a glorious sight. I recommend that you take this tour on your first day in the city as it will give you a great introduction to Georgia that you wouldn’t get anywhere else

5.00Excellent tour. It covers the most important and interesting spots in the city. The guide accompanies us, explaining everything in detail. A bonus: we went to a traditional bakery. If she hadn't shown us around, we wouldn't have found it.
