Super chill and friendly guide, its long journey we should have planned for 2 days.
Maxim was very polite, reliable, punctual, and kind. Although he only speaks Russian, we managed to communicate well with a translator. He paid full attention to all our needs, and I highly recommend taking a tour with him. The drive up into the mountains is long and the day is quite tiring, but the views make it absolutely worth it. We reached our final destination, Mestia, in the late afternoon, so unfortunately we didn’t have much time left to explore there, which was a bit of a pity. Overall, I recommend this trip to everyone, even if the price is a bit on the higher side.
Maxim, our driver was so polite and kind! Nevertheless our experience we had at night with the broken tyre, he drived us safely to our hotel!
I took a side trip from Tbilisi to Kutaisi, which is a beautiful wonder in and of itself! Then, I took this tour with Maxim, a great driver and guide who was very accommodating to my wishes for places to stop/skip on the trip to Mestia. Mestia is absolutely gorgeous! It is a Georgian mountain town near the Russian border, in the high Caucasus. The whole drive there and back, you will see so many spectacular views of snowcapped mountains, forests, and waterfalls! There are also great places to get traditional Georgian food along the way!
