This was a very good experience not only because the places were wonderful but our tour guide Timor made it more fun. He was very knowledgable, approachable and patient. Also, credits to other group members who were always on time.
This was a fantastic trip, in one hand because of the places but much more because of the service. Our guide David was very professional, organised well, always paid attention our needs and gave us useful information - especially for this tour, you don't want to have someone who is not professional like this!! But also the driver was fabulous!! The conditions were really bad for most of the time (snow, bad vis..), but he managed everything in a calm and safe way. Respect! It was a long day. Because of professionalism, we always knew what to expect and because the places we visited were really unique and amazing - we always had very good conditions at the spots - this tour is one of the best I made in Georgia. I made six tours with different companies and different guides. This tour and this guide and driver are 100% recommendable!! I would do it again when coming back with my friends. Thank you so much!!!
