What a fantastic day! We booked the trip the day before and the tour company was great. Baya got in touch with us via WhatsApp and sent the itinerary and pick up time. Our guide David was brilliant! Great with the kids all day, which is no mean feat, as they are non-stop!
Every stop we made was amazing. The country is absolutely beautiful and far exceeded expectations. The last stop at Rooms Hotel Kezbegi was the perfect way to round off the day with good food and great wine.
We would recommend this trip to anyone, even those with young kids (ours are 7 and 4).
We will be back again

We’re glad to have been with this tour on our last day in Tbilisi. It was well organized, in a small group of six travellers. the tour itinerary was nicely paced with interesting stops, and just about enough time for each. At no point did we feel forced to visit some shops or uninteresting „fillers“.
Georgi was our guide. He’s knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Aside from the excellent stories for each visited place, he always has some interesting tidbits to share when we asked. We wish him the best, and would love to have him as our tour guide again one day.
We decided for the rafting, before lunch. It was a nice little trip down the stream, nothing strenuous. And the scenery—fields of wild flowers in a vibrant green valley—was stunning.
The roads from and back to Tbilisi could be quite steep and winding, and pending the weather, require careful maneuvering. However, the driver was good at handing both the van and the 4×4. I normally experience some level of car sickness when sitting in such a vehicle, but it was surprisingly a smooth and comfortable ride.
All in all, highly recommended.
