5.00Thanks to Timur and Irakli for the gorgeous experience of going to Borjomi and other beautiful places of Georgia! A lot of interesting information, the guide is incredibly exciting, the trip was in one breath!! And of course, thanks to the driver for his professionalism, mountainous terrain is not the easiest road.

5.00The tour would not have been the same without our guide, Timur. He gave us so many facts, stories, jokes to colour our journey through the west and south of Georgia. Awesome guide. The locations were excellent. Tasting warm mineral water from the springs at Borjomi, climbing the fortress at Rabati, and exploring the old caves at Vardzia. What a day. A great meal too

Amazing sights of Borjomi, Rabati and Vardzia

5.00An amazing tour. Our guide Timur is so immensely knowledgable and makes the extra effort to ensure the English speaking guests understand and get the full experience with our largely Russian group. Every stop had a story, a tale and added insight to the history of the place. He also walked much of the routes with us. Communication was impeccable and he offered good advice I would reacoment that if one chooses to do this tour in winter l, as I did, ensure you dress very warm in layers that can be taken off and put back on easily. And ensure you have cash for entry to the particular sites. Driver was always safe and the vehicle was comfy and warm.
Good experience

Everything went smoothly, including transportation, timings, and overall planning, which made the journey completely stress-free for us. A special mention to our guide, who was extremely patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every detail clearly, shared interesting insights about the places we visited, and was always ready to help or answer questions. The trip felt comfortable, well-paced, and enjoyable throughout. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this agency to others.
