“Dimitri was an incredible guide. A fountain of knowledge, passed on fluently. This is a full on day but well worth it. The cave town of Uplistsike is amazing but a challenging trek over uneven ground and lots of steps for us older folk! Don’t be put off however, it’s manageable with sensible footwear and a hat. Do bring your own bottled water though as none is provided. There is a cafe and restrooms close to the entrance and exit. The Stalin museum is very interesting. An optional lunch option in Gori is available which other guests said was really good, however, we opted for free time as lunch would…”

“We booked this tour as it offered both the Stalin museum and Borjomi, which we wanted to see. Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed by the tour, especially compared to other ones we took with different companies here in Georgia. Our guide Levani was nice, he spoke good English and we liked that he shared loads of interesting information with us on the bus. The problem with this tour was the overall organisation. Firstly, the tour was in both English and Russian, which was annoying because the website mentioned only English as the language. Instead the guide had to repeat and translate everything twice as half the group was Russian.…”

“We had a really nice day trip to Mtskheta and other towns. All awards are going to our amazing guide Konstantin who gave his best to give us as much as possible info about every place we visited. The driver was great, also the mini bus - not maybe the most comfortable but very clean. The tour itself needs improvements: - first why are we waiting for the people who are late for more than 30 minutes? if 90% of the group could make it on time (actually 30 minutes before the start) i don't see why to wait 3 people for almost 40 minutes! - second, most of the…”

We will surely come back again we had the best time here❤️❤️”
