A great experience and great value for money.

A great 2-day trip, with three more people. It worked perfectly well despite some non perfect weather in the first day. Stunning scenery, a very nice programm thay included hiking, visiting the Svaneti national museum, taking beautiful photos. Our guide Gia was excellent! Highly recommended!

Excellent tour that is highly recommended

We did this tour with our guide Jemali who exceeded all our expectations. He was very knowledgeable, had local connections in every stop, knew the best viewpoints and was a safe driver. He was always friendly and flexible. With an open and generous heart, he would also share some of the local traditions that would otherwise be inaccessible to tourists. The tour itself offers stunning, almost surreal, views. Fascinating historical sites were also visited and amazing once in a lifetime experiences like horseriding in the mountains, hiking to glaciers and stunning waterfalls. All in all this was an amazing experience that was made so much better thanks to our excellent guide Jemali. We were so pleased with this that we hired Jemali for other experiences after for the rest of our stay in Georgia.

I had a lot of good experiences in Georgia, but this one takes the cake

The absolute best excursion I have ever been on. Svaneti should already be on every Georgia itinerary ever, but the guides - Ana and James - from Megobari Tours elevates this experience to the next level. An extra special thanks to Ana for making the name «Megobari» (friend) a very suiting mantra for the experience. After this experience our entire group ended up booking a new trip to Tchiatura - again with Ana - the day after we returned to Kutaisi. This, of course, did not disappoint either.

Best tour you could make in Georgia

I loved the tour so much. From the length to the price to even the size of the group. Everything was perfect. The guide was so funny, so knowledgable and totally kind. He also took the best pictures ever. Its a good tour for friends and people who solo travel as well. Wasnt weird at all.

Beautiful, remote settings

This remote area was unlocked for us by this tour! More than what was said was included, in spite of snowfall and the Easter weekend (with dome places closed).

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad the tour allowed you to discover this remote area and that you enjoyed it even in snowy conditions and during the Easter weekend. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again.

Nice trip to Mestia

Nice tour in the mountains. The road trip to Mestia was an experience on its own. Even if the weather was not ideal, our guide Jemali made the experience very cool. I appreciate his honesty when answering all the questions we had, which allowed us to get a better insight into Georgian culture, people, sports... Given the experience, we also chose the same company for another tour.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the mountain trip and that the journey itself was such a memorable experience, even with less ideal weather. It’s great to hear the guide made it engaging and insightful, and we truly appreciate your trust in choosing us again.
