amazing whole day trip, NickZ was one of most interesting guide of our lives
Really good. Great guide and amazing experience.
The tour guide (Mariam) was pleasant and knowledgeable, she took us through the history of Georgia, Tbilisi and Kakheti, we visited the Chronicles of Georgia first (about a hundred step until we reach the monument) then moved to wine country, how to make traditional Georgian snickers, bread making, and a lunch in between (we got toasted outdoor but it isn’t Mariam’s fault, the restaurant seems to be a crowded place). In general it was a great trip, a bit of walking in Sighnaghi, good photo shooting at St Nino Monastery as well.
Gorjia is a beautiful country And Maria is one of the best tour guide that I see...she explained the best and she is kind @mariam
Had a nice day! The lunch was really late in the tour at around 3-3:30 so be sure to bring snacks and have a big breakfast. Mari was a great guide speaking in both Russian and English and teaching us a lot.
Absolutely terrible and unsafe experience on the magical kakheti tour. The driver of the red Mercedes Sprinter was extremely rude, arrogant, and unprofessional. He kept his window wide open for over an hour, creating a freezing and severe draft. Even though I explicitly and repeatedly asked him to close it, he completely ignored my requests and showed a disgusting attitude, putting my health at risk. The situation was so bad that the tour guide helped me to move to a seat in the back just to escape the freezing air. To make matters worse, the management of Vitis Travel completely dismissed my complaint with lazy excuses instead of taking responsibility. They treat paying customers like garbage. Total lack of respect and zero customer care. Im deeply dissapointed by this agency, which advertises itself as a prestigious company but treats paying customers with total disrespect. Booking ref ending 9881! UPDATE: Instead of taking responsibility for their driver's terrible behavior, the management deleted my honest feedback on Instagram and BLOCKED my account. Shady and completely unprofessional business! ❌
Enjoyed the tour. Lunch stop was at an average restaurant but pleasant. No complains but suggests that local Georgian music be played in the bus. Indications of available washrooms on the way will also be helpful.
The guide Nick Z was excellent. We tasted both more home-made and more industrial wines and it was interesting to see the difference. The whole tour was to the point, not too long but we saw and experienced a lot. Highly recommended.
Incredible!! What an adventure. Dmetri was probably the best tour guide I've ever had. I learned so much about Georgia's history and culture and we went all over! Highly, highly recommend.
The tour guide Nick Z did his job. Wine tasting section was fun. The time spent at Sighnaghi was enough, but too short at Chronicles of Georgia.
