She speaks fluent English and is very passionate about her job. I understand more about the history of Georgia after this tour. The bus ride is also very comfortable. Huge thumbs up.”

Review of a private Tbilisi day trip to Jvari, Mtskheta, Uplistsikhe, Gori, and the Chronicles of Georgia, with practical tips and value advice.

“A wonderful day trip to get a first impression of the beauty of Georgia. Our tour guide Nick was fabulous, a young and dynamic Georgian who provided excellent information on each site and answered our endless questions about all we saw on the road. Nick also immediately bonded with our teenage son over joint interests in sports, especially football, and other topics which made the day for our son. The drive was comfortable and due to interesting conversations it passed far too quickly. We can highly recommend Nick as a tour guide, especially if you travel with children and/or have in-depth interest in flora and fauna of Georgia. We will…”

“A pretty good deal, I thought, since the route covered not just the city of Tbilisi but also Mtskheta and Jvari. However, we were not given snacks as listed only bottled water was offered and although our guide did his best, it was clearly taxing for him to conduct the tour in both Russian and English. I do wish they had separated the two groups so that we didn't have to wait around for our translation and so that we had more time in some of the places rather than waiting for the guide to speak to us in our language.”

Review of a $24 Ancient Georgia day tour from Tbilisi, visiting Jvari, Gori, Uplistsikhe, and Mtskheta with practical tips.

“The places we saw were great and we learned enough about each site. Overall we had enough time for each place and not felt rushed. However the tour guide ran out of patience at the end and was rude toward one of the tour members. The tour guide didn’t take the whole group together to walk the monastery, the cathedral and the cave town to explain things. Not sure if this was how the tour company does its tour”

“We had a most excellent tour with Aleksi. With his extensive knowledge, he was not only able to guide us and explain the sights themselves that he was introducing us to, but also to give a bigger picture relating to the history of Georgia in general, making the tour almost a pilgrimage experience tied together with story and meaning. Also, Aleksi’s personal perspectives about the sites and about life in Georgia gave us very valuable insight into the local culture. We liked how passionate Aleksi is in his work. Don’t hesitate to book a tour with him!”

“The tour of the UNESCO cities is impressive. The history and what you feel walking through their spaces, churches, and everything they once represented for the people of Georgia and the history of the world is fascinating. Moreover, if you add the knowledge and willingness of Luka, the guide, who shares and comments on the stories of the sites, there is nothing more to ask for. It's a long story for a powerful tour.”
