4.00Great way to explore some cool spots just outside Tbilisi. The chronicles of Georgia was the highlight, and wished we spent more time exploring that site. The tour guide (Sandro) was really good, infromative and made the experience fun.

5.00This tour was an unforgettable experience and a perfect way to explore the rich history and culture of Georgia. Everything was very well organized, and the transportation was comfortable with easy parking and smooth transfers at each stop. All the locations were clean and well maintained, and the views—especially from Jvari Monastery—were absolutely breathtaking. The visit to Mtskheta was fascinating, and the local bazaar added a charming cultural touch. The wine tasting was a highlight, offering a great introduction to Georgia’s unique wine heritage. Overall, it was a seamless and enjoyable experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tbilisi. It’s the perfect combination of history, culture, and beautiful scenery.

3.00All the sites were interesting and i enjoyed the places themselves. The guide was fine, though a bit needy for us to constantly affirm him and tell him he was doing a good job. Please stop asking guests to review you right there in front of you in the van. I don’t like the pressure and it deters people from giving honest reviews.
Fun and informative
