The best tour I did in Tbilisi!

5.00This was a relaxing and very interesting day. The tour consisted of 3 very worthwhile sites on the outskirts of Tbilisi, so there wasn't a ton of driving (like other tours I did) and we had time at each location. David, our guide, was very good and shared many details about the history of the area.
Favourite tour.

5.00A nice half-day excursion out of town that is definitely worth making, if you still have some free time, after visiting the city of Tbilisi. The Georgian chronicles are really impressive for their cyclopic size, Jvari Monastery is a must for lovers of the genre and the town of Mtskheta with its imposing Cathedral is definitely worth a visit. A special mention for George, our guide, a very helpful and professionally prepared person.
Good day

5.00Amazing tour day with great guide and driver Georgi. We were able to visit all the sites I wanted to visit and more at a comfortable pace even given my tight schedule with flight in the evening. Georgi gave a lot of detailed explanations on the history and culture and knows all the sites super well. He also was very patient and helped to take a lot of nice photos. Really interesting and fun day.
