1- Our guide “Luka” is one of the best guides I ever saw, the energy of the whole trip and the group was amazing, and he is very nice, thoughtful and he brings his own Chacha for the whole group. It spiced up the mood and was very tasty.
2- The paragliding experience is breathtaking and I urge everyone visiting the Friendship monument in Gudauri to try it, it costed 400 Gel if your weight is above 100KG and 300 Gel of your weight is below that, better bring cash.
3- The place where we had lunch was super nice, don’t forget to try the wooden swing facing the mountain on the second floor 😉
4- The drive was smooth and the road and information given to us was interesting, light but at the same time won’t leave with any questions
5- Value for money 5/5
6- Safety and security 5/5
7- Experience and mood, we didn’t want the day to end really! So 5/5.
Thanks Luca for your amazing energy, Thanks Abanoub for managing the trip and checking on us till we got back!

Our tour guide was Luka and I must say he was the most amazing, sweet, kind and friendly person I’ve ever met. He made the tour so much fun that we dint want it to end. It was a 14 hour tour which may seem like a really long day but Luka made sure we were all entertained throughout the tour. He made us laugh, eat good food, he took care of each and every individual’s needs during the tour. Some of us were having difficulty walking in the snow, he walked with us and made us feel safe. He took really great pictures for us and we even made a TikTok. By the end of the tour it was as if we were friends since forever. Luka made the day memorable for all of us and we’re super grateful to have met such a gem of a person. Thank you BudgetFriendlyTours, Luka is an asset to you guys!! I would definitely recommend this tour if you want a fun filled day.

I was traveling in Georgia with my wife and when I wanted to book some tours to explore Georgia, I checked TripAdvisor and saw this 5 star tour. I really never thought that this tour could be so good. It deserves more then 5 stars.
Firstly we so Jinvali dam and it was very nice view from there. I recommend to try swing there. The. We visited very attractive fortress and after that we had Georgian lunch in very nice restaurant. Food was just amazing. You know what. The most beautiful views are coming after lunch. Friendship monument and that church on the top are just wonderfull.
Our tour guide Luka was very fun and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of information and we danced and sing in the car as well. Long story short it’s highly recommend

Fantastic trip with Luka! He was a true gent. The weather was shocking so we didn’t do all the things we had planned but that’s unavoidable. I’m not much oh a; spend hours walking around one place for the perfect picture, kind of person so they where kind enough to be quick about things.
For the price, it is perfect.

Guys have gently changed departure time for our team. During very first minutes of the ride we understood it was right choice! Incredible view points, interesting excursion guided by professionals, very attentive and friendly guides! Some of us have tried paragliding – definitely worth it!! Hiking was as difficult as the fist visit to the gym after all-inclusive holidays)))) To sum it up, we love each point they have chosen for the trip! So, guys have shared great emotions and unique life experience.
I hope we’ll be friends.
God bless them!

I’m not a tour person but…
This tour was one of my highlights of my week in Georgia, i would do it again and highly recommend it. Lasha, our tour guide, is an amazing person, his fun, has a lot of knowledge and will make you feel like you are hanging out with friends. The driving is imaculate, i felt very secure and confortable and even the views towards the destinations were mesmerizing. The places you’ll visit will take your breath away. If you are worried about being rushed by your guide, don’t be. It was one of my concerns when booking but everything is so well organized that you will have time to see everything really smoothly. Plus you can meet some amazing people. Unforgetable.

Unforgettable day in Georgia
One day that gives you a maximum of emotion. You can enjoy amazing landscapes, you can learn some history of the region and you can try local cuisine and drinks. Can just one day fit it all? Indeed it can!! Even more! With Lasha as your tour guide you will get the warmest welcome, interesting facts and historical information and a good laugh too))
The day can pass, but memories will stay with you forever.
Thanks to the whole team for showing us Georgia

Incredible experience for solo travelers
If you are traveling alone and have limited time, this is a perfect option. Visiting the Great Caucus, ancient monasteries and forts, while also having amazing food and wine/chacha is a definite must when visiting Georgia. Lasha was a fantastic guide, answering all questions, giving suggestions and being really engaging with all travelers.
Lastly, if you’re considering paragliding, do it. It’s a wonderful experience and the view is unmatched.

I absolutely loved this tour! The views were absolutely stunning and the weather was beautiful despite it being summer. I took so many photos and will definitely look back at them later! My favorite part of the tour was paragliding across the mountains. Our tour guide Lasha was very friendly and knowledgeable. The full day trip was not as tiring as I thought it would be. I would recommend going if you are visiting Georgia!

It’s a day to remember
It was really a great day , soso, tamar and of course the driver kakha made it more special.
The team was perfect, and so friendly,( they bought us raincoats when it started to rain, took us to a very beautiful restaurant in the mountains, games in the bus in our way back to tblisi.
Let’s say they really help us to feel like we are one big families.
The trip was in general stunning, the mountain Amr soo beautiful, the off road trip to the top of the mountain was great chance, I highly recommended

The Best Experience
The best experience we had in Tblisi. From the time i received the confirmation i was contacted by their manager Abanoub. He kept me notified and made me feel welcomed and even assisted with providing additional information about Georgia.
When we went to their office, the day of the tour it was another experience… we felt like home and the entire team was so friendly and was with a chilled vibe.
Our tour guide Lika was exceptional. Her energy, knowledge and friendly attitude kept us going and made it so entertaining. The tour was very well organized and we were very well looked after… I highly recommend these guys and for sure will be returning back to them for my future tblisi tours…

amazing day to remember
After booking this tour, I did not even check the sites we would have been visiting during the tour, as I did not want to have expectations.
We visited so many interesting places and our tour guide, Nini, was so well prepared about the history and open to any questions regarding Georgia, its culture and traditions.
The group of people I was with was international, so pretty interesting to chat with other travellers from so many other nationalities.
I had lots of fun, due to lack of time I could not participate in other tours organised by Budget Friendly Georgia, but I am 100% sure next time I am in Tbilisi, I will take part in another of its tours.
I highly recommend this tour! Madloba!

Extraordinary tour and company operator
Summary: the tour operator (Budget Friendly Tours) has introduced new definition to the tourism industry!
Not only the itinerary was filled with breathtaking views, enough to let the long drive enjoyable. but the tour guides have decided this is not enough to make your experience unforgettable! games, dances & laughter were the theme of the day to get the tourists engaged & enjoyed!
The driver, Kakha, has made the ride very smooth.
The guide, Tamar, was very skilled, rich in touristic & historical background. She was the kind of guides that maintains eye contact with all & gets them engaged. She established cool bind with all.
Tamar was accompanied by 2 other representatives, SOSO & Anna whom were the cherry on the cake! The team was around us, offering help with photography, ideas, info, translation, food & souvenirs recommendations. They kept their eyes on the weather changes to proactively align the route plan.
In the middle of the trip, each guest received a “Quality check” WhatsApp msg from the operator’s representative, Abanoub, asking for their “current” feedback! Imagine the level of excellence when they proactively do a pulse check before it is late! Hats off!
In my review, I’ve focused on the experience delivered rather than the sightseeing stops. No doubt each stop was themed with breathtaking views & fresh air that is enough to rejuvenate you on the spot. but the positive experience I had forces me acknowledge the company efforts to make this trip extraordinary.

Phenomenal
I can say the best 14 hours spent in Georgia. This tour would be the highlight of my trip and inspiration to come back again. The tour is so well organized, and the places that are articulated are phenomenal. And more so in this long trip, we didn’t have even a single dull moment with Lasha, our tour guide. He is entertaining, funny, and moreover very thoughtful. He made sure everyone is well taken care off….and as a bonus we got to experience his melodious singing too 🙂 I highly recommend this tour, I would give it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, because it truly exceeded my expectation.

Excellent
I can start with the meeting points it was convincing for me only few minutes from my hotel. Also when we were in the bus our Guide Lasha he make us introduce each other the break the ice as most of the people didn’t know each other. That’s helped us to be more engaged and we were enjoying as a group of people who know each other. I was alone on the trip so it helped me do not feel lonely, feel that I am part of group. We played some funny games during the trip, laugh a lot, sing, thank you Lasha as he made is very funny and enjoyable. Honestly he was always around with some interesting facts and historical information related to the trip. And at the same time it wasn’t too much so you will have time to enjoy the place on your own and made some pictures. The places we were visiting it’s really incredible locations and I never see something similar to it in my life. The Nature and surroundings is beautiful, the air was so clean that you feel like you can’t stop breathing. I would love to take it with me to Dubai). On the way we stoped in some restaurant which has an amazing atmosphere and you feel the Georgian culture in everything starting from design, food and of cause wine. I got my prize from the game I won from Lasha exact semi dry red one and was so happy.
I would definitely recommend this company and this trip and tomorrow will share another feedback as I am going to another trip with them 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊. Based on my experience I can trust them because I really enjoyed the time today.

The highlight of my Georgia trip was this tour definitely. It was extremely well organized and scheduled on time.
The places selection were impeccable and as a tourist, it wouldn’t have been possible to explore this on my own.
Hats off to the Tripadvisor team and espacially the tour guide Lasha, who was extremely informative and fun. There was never a dull moment and kept us entertained through out till the end.
Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Georgia to see the most mesmerizing places and views.
Once again a big shout out to Tripadvisor and Lasha, thank you very much.

Cool tour!
This tour was definitely worth the cost. The tour guide, Luka was very enthusiastic and friendly. He was very knowledgeable and was very interactive with the group. Luka had a lot of cool trivia that was fascinating. He kept the trip entertaining and made sure the group was comfortable throughout the trip. He was very easy to talk and open with the tour group. The tour by itself was really concise and very fun. The bus provided was comfortable and the size of the group was manageable which helped with keeping on time if you are here for a short trip. I would definitely recommend this tour. Definitely a great way to explore parts of georgia, especialy if youre here for a quick trip. You will definitely have a great time!

Excellent tour with great stops and wonderful guide
Luka was a wonderful guide from the beginning. Friendly and knowledgeable, he made sure that all the details were taken care of and that we had enough time to do the activities we wanted. His English was excellent and he was patient with answering all of our questions. He even had a game for the group on the drive back, where he gave prizes. I highly recommend this tour and Luka I’m particular.

Beautiful scenery and an informative tour!
We had a great time seeing the scenery thanks to our guide, Luka! He was friendly, helpful, and demonstrated a good knowledge of the history and lore of the various sites and stops.
The trip moved at a leisurely and relaxing pace – I never felt rushed, but the time passed quickly.
Breathtaking scenery and opportunities for activities (paragliding, horseback riding etc.) along the way as well as stops at a couple of restaurants.
The ride up to the church was a highlight of the trip!

Luca is awesome
Todays tour was fantastic! We got so much done in one day. Luca was so friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. In one day we saw historic monuments, gorgeous mountains, went paragliding, to an old fort and a monastery, off-roading and so much more. We got to eat traditional Georgian foods and learn all about the culture and country. Definitely would recommend this tour to anyone wanting s day trip from Tblisi!

This tour was amazing. Luka, our tour guide had a good knowledge of the spots we stopped to look at. He was fun and kind. We never felt rushed.
The driver of the van was a smooth driver. The van was comfortable and had charging ports. It was the best 14 hour tour we’ve done and the places we went were breathtaking.
Thanks, Luka for giving us a great experience of Georgia!

Amazing experience!
The tour was amazing with a very friendly and helpful guid Lasha. Its far much better and cheaper than a private tour. We meet at a predetermined point and get to know each other then start the 14 hours trip. There is no need to pack snacks as you will stop by restaurants and supermarkets on the way. The guid will help you with everything whether its tour related or not.

The car is very nice Mercedes sprinter, the tour guide Luka is super friendly and fun, the pace is slow and not in a hurry. Luka always gives detailed information about each stop. The lunch place is nice and quiet. The price is very reasonable.

Hands down the best tour I have been part of!
I want to say a big thanks to BudgetFriendlyTours for this blissful tour. Value for money is just excellent.
At the morning pickup point, we were greeted by cheerful Soso who made small talk with us and memorised almost all the names in our group in the space of 5 minutes, which was very impressive. The tour’s Mercedes bus was comfortable, clean and it had air conditioning, basically the perfect bus for such a long trip. The stops where we got to enjoy the views and look around were absolutely breathtaking and you will have to see it with your own eyes. One of the best views ever guaranteed!
To make our journey back to Tbilisi more fun we listened to songs from all the participants’ countries which was really fun to hear and experience new kinds of music.
We had a wonderful guide Lasha, who is an amazing guide with an amazing singing voice and most importantly he is an amazing person. The way he entertained us throughout the journey and united the group was phenomenal. He spoke English very well and explained the history of the monuments and the points we visited.

What an amazing trip ❤️ All thanks to our guide Sophie
From the very first start of the tour to the last stop, we got to learn about historical sites, enjoy the scenery and take wonderful pictures, and we even got the chance to go paragliding on top of the Caucasus Mountains (extra charge 300GEL) which was an unreal experience
I have a better understanding and appreciation for Georgian culture after this unforgettable experience
Thank you Budget friendly tours

This day trip was one of the highlights of our trip!
Guide Lasha did his work with great passion and love, and his positivity kept our spirits up for the entire trip! Best tour guide I’ve ever had!
As Estonians, we are more introverted, but Lasha made everyone get to know each other right away, which made the group well united. I am grateful to have met so many awesome people from different countries!
The bus was very neat, beautiful and clean. We also made a lot of stops and it made the long drive enjoyable. On the way back, we all listened to national music, and finally the guide Lasha sang for us in Georgian, and his singing voice was amazing!
In the restaurant I ate the best Khinkalis of my trip and the house wine was also wonderful!
The views are insanely powerful, I still look at these photos over and over and can’t believe I actually went to such places!
I highly recommend! Thank you!

A beautiful day trip to Caucasus mountains.
The trip to Caucasus Mountains is excellent. Our tour team of Khaha, Tamar, Soso and Anna made it memorable. They didn’t let us recognize its a long journey and that is so appreciable.
Beauty of the places and rich history surrounding it is a thing beyond words. There was opportunity to try paragliding too. In the distance you can see snow covered mountains.
Tamar our guide was very professional and gave detailed information about each destination that gave us a wow moment. Soso and Anna are full of energy and made the trip even more entertaining. Mercedes bus was comfortable and clean.
In a nutshell one can trust Budget Friendly tours for a happy trip. Thank you soo much for an amazing day .

Great and excellent local tour in Tbilisi
It was such a great and nice tour while we stay in Tbilisi. The tour guide Lasha did an excellent job, explaining the history of the historical ruins and background, playing card games with us, playing excellent songs from all of our original favorites, making the journey more enjoyable. And between us the travelers can easily make friends with each others.
Besides, the car is extremely comfortable, clean and tidy. With the magnificent views of the mountains range, what else than i say for a sightseeing extra more than we expected.
I definitely recommend for this local tour while one want to explore more mountains side or non urban area for Tbilisi. Excellent tour 👍🏼👍🏼

My husband and I came to Georgia for our honeymoon and are very happy that we went on this tour. In one day we saw many incredibly beautiful places, learned the history of Tbilisi, and also ate delicious Georgian dishes.
The guide, Luka, is a very friendly, kind and open person. You feel like old friends with him. He took care of us everywhere and was very attentive.
We really enjoyed this trip! Thanks to Luka and the whole team! We highly recommend!

Caucasusus mountains & khazbegi
Wonderful day tour to the mountains. It was scenic. I had booked and was looking forward to it when I fell sick the day before. I took my meds and “strengthen” myself to still go. Abanoub was very patient and considerate in respond to my needs. I requested Lasha guide as he was recomended by my friend. Very, very worth it for a whole day, many stops and enough time at each place. Nice comfortable new van. Driver was very good maneuvering the van at mountain slopes.
Lasha gave detailed and good explanation on the histor y and significance of each place visited. Best of all he was caring about me coz I was not too fit and always obliging us. Definitely recomend this tour with Lash and Budgrt friendly tours. PS: they are not available on get your guide

Excellent tour!
Excellent tour! Our tour guide Sofia was awesome, friendly, and really helpful. She explained everything we wanted to know about Georgia’s history and helped translate from Georgian to English and vice versa when needed. The bus is comfortable and the experience was wonderful, would totally recommend! The trip includes many stops, to which we all enjoyed. You can try different kinds of organic honey, try paragliding, and/or horseback riding. However, be aware that the ride to the top of the mountains can cause some dizziness as the roads are very bumpy. Nevertheless, incredibly fun tour and an even more fun tour guide 🙂

Fantastic day out to some picturesque parts of Georgia. A fabulous group – great for solo travellers. Kazbegi mountains are stunning. Worth staying the night, rather than doing the full long trip in one day. Good to rest there and enjoy the views.

Summer Fun in Kazbegi, Georgia
My Trip to Kazbegi, Georgia became safe, fun and memorable. Thanks to Budget Friendly Georgia, especially our Tour Guide Lasha who made it fun and historic! Thanks to our driver that day too who drove us safely to all tourist attractions!
It’s hard to roam around in georgia because most of the people do not speak english. Having a booked tour packages is highly recommended. This Group Tour is affordable, with great vehicle unit & driver skills, tour destinations & restaurants itinerary and english speaking tour guide.

Wonderful day trip to Kazbegi
I booked a day Trip to Kazbegi with the tour company called Budget Friendly Tours.
My day trip started bright and early outside Raddison Blu hotel, Tbilisi, at 8:30am. Our tour guide Luca was very friendly and informative. Our driver was great and handy with any car trouble.
I sat in the front with my wife, this was the best seat as we got to see the views first hand and the seats were comfortable.
The trip overall was good, our first stop was at a supermarket to buy snacks and get a quick breakfast if you weren’t able to eat at the hotel.
The next stop was at Jinvali Water Reservoir where stopped and took amazing pictures. There is a heart strapped stand and the Georgia Swings which each cost 5 GEL for a picture. The views were amazing.
Then we were on our way to the restaurant. This was restaurant had ok service and not a lot of choice for food for people looking for Halal food. The Greek salad was 2/10. And the pastry with cheese was 5/10. Overall the restaurant was 5/10.
Next stop was paradgliding point and Freindship Mounumnet. The road up the mountains has amazing views. Both the paragliding and monument had Instagram views. Paragliding costs 300 Gel per person.
The next stop was up to Trinity Church we’re we got off and took another mini bus to go up the mountain. This is a very bumpy trip and if you have back or bone problems, I don’t recommend.
But the view is worth the trip. The mountain had views of the city and clouds floating close to touch.
Final stop was at Rooms Hotel Kazbegi which has a beautiful terrace facing the mountain. Here you can have a quick coffee before heading back to Tbilisi.
Over all the Mountain View’s were amazing and worth the whole trip. Luca our guide was pleasant, informative and very cheerful!

Amazing (long) day in the mountains
We had a great time with our guide Sophio in the mountains. It was a really long day but so worth it to see the monastaries, go paragliding, ride in a 4×4, and stop at an amazing restaurant. I highly highly recommend this tour for anyone with not a lot of time in Tbilisi.

Kazbegi is a dream
Me and my sister booked a tour to Kazbegi mountains. We knew that something beautiful was coming up but the scenery that we saw was beyond breathtaking. We stopped at the dam, Fortress, Gergety trinity church and the beauty of the views was unfathomable.
We also stopped for lunch with nice views nearby a river.
Our tour guide was Luka who was our handsome funny tour guide. He was very attentive and caring. At every stop he tried to accommodate us all.
I have one recommendation for travelers. If you book this tour, make sure you bring something warm with you and comfortable shoes. Temperature in mountains are lower.

Nice views, good weather, mountains, rivers which gave us a very good relaxing and enjoyable day. The tour guide with us which his name was luka is incredibly friendly, nice and funny guy. He made sure that we take the best experience in all the places we went to. He explained all the details and history about the places and recommended a lot of things for us. For sure I’m going to book other tours with them.

The most unforgettable trip. I am very glad that I went with you. It was very comfortable and fun. We were shown a lot of interesting places, the view of Kazbegi is worth the whole trip💔
They also showed Lake Zhinvali, took us to a wonderful restaurant serving delicious khinkali and brought us to a hotel where we could rest after a long day.
Our guide Luka was the best and very smiling!

Amazing Tour of the Caucasus Mountains
What an amazing experience – everything was very well organised and Lasha was the perfect guide.
It didn’t take long before all guests were comfortable and interacting freely. This really made the day special and we were able to share parts of our heritage and culture through the experience.
Make sure you come with some cash (20 GEL for mandatory 4×4 off-road journey to visit the Trinity Church and 300 GEL if you want to paraglide!).
If you will do the paragliding… have only a light lunch. Trust me 🙂
Highly recommended for solo travellers!

A great day in the mountains
Everything what we saw during this tour is amazing. I saw many pictures and reviews about this tour but no pictures can catch the beauty you see here. We visited different stops on the way and each stop was more and more breathtaking than the last one.
We were lucky to see beautiful mount Kazbegi as well cause we as our tour-guide told us that mountain is mostly in the clouds but we’ve got there on the right time. We also stopped at the friendship monument where we wanted to try paragliding but wind was not on our side. So if you are coming here for paragliding don’t be disappointed if you can’t do it cause it happens.
Thanks to our group who were really nice people and many thanks to our tour-guide Luka who always tried to make us happy. We also played freezbee in the room’s hotel which was very fun.
I really recommend this tour and if you book it make sure that Luka is your guide!

What an amazing day! The Caucasus mountains are so stunningly beautiful, there is really no way to not have a jaw-dropping experience. I also really appreciated the tour company not canceling the tour when it became clear I would be the only person on the tour (and the groups are relatively small in general, which in my mind is great because of the continuing covid pandemic). So, I had the pleasure of virtually having a private tour with the driver Gelo and the guide, Roma. While this could have been an awkward experience on such a long tour, it was actually the opposite — Roma is a great guide who provides lots of information, speaks excellent English, and is super easygoing, witty, and interested in a variety of topics. He was really gracious and easy to talk to so that the tour sometimes felt like traveling around with a friend rather than a guide. The tour felt leisurely and we had enough time to explore all the stops, as well as enjoy the beautiful vistas of Kazbegi for several hours. Roma even helped me pick some wildflowers on the side of the mountain at the Gudauri lookout! I really appreciated the opportunity to be able to talk to him about life in Georgia in general, the good as well as the bad sides, and I like that he kept it real. We talked about culture, history, politics, the current war, the crazy truck lines along the military highway, the way that young people like him live in Georgia, their hopes and frustrations. It was more precious than any stereotypically tourist experience as it gave me a lot of insight into Georgian society. In any case, if you are lucky to have Roma as your guide on a regular group tour, I am sure you will have an equally enjoyable time. The good thing about this tour agency is that they will run the tour with just you even if nobody else shows up, so that you won’t miss out on the experience.
Oh and the restaurant we stopped by for lunch was amazing.

Caucasus mountains were higher this time!!
Although I’ve been to the same trip last November -Highlights of Caucasus mountains (Jinvali, Ananuri, Gudauri and Kazbegi- and I really enjoyed that wintery vibes I’ve witnessed and experienced there.. but this time I have had a totally different experience..
Starting from the quality of service and customer care provided by (Budget Friendly Tours) leaded by the great Abanoub, and his amazing team members specifically our tour guide, with his amazing level of knowledge and energy he succeeded making this an unforgettable trip for sure.. And I was very glad to get lucky to know all the special travelers who enriched my knowledge with all the cultural chats and laughs.
What I have seen and experienced this time was totally different, and what I have learnt about the highlights history and stories was very rich and well delivered..
I believe that Georgia is a country that will tease you to visit again and again as it promises you a different experience every season!!
Next time I’ll visit,, I’ll always choose (Budget Friendly Tours),, you guys changed my tour standards indeed!!

The trip was amazing even though it was my second time, but I enjoyed the weather, atmosphere of the group, and our guide tour Lasha. I met new lovely people from different countries, Lasha the tour guide make it easy for everyone to ice breaks the tension between everyone so that we can start engaged and communicate with each other. by making us talk about ourselves, play games, and sings as well. He made sure that everyone has historical knowledge about places we visits. Lasha has this energetic character that every tourist looking for. Surprisingly we had a birthday woman in the group and he made sure to celebrate her birthday with all of the group by getting her a cake and candles and singing for her. He made our day with this idea. Thanks, Lasha you made me make wonderful memories again. I recommend this trip to everyone who travels to Georgia for the first time.

I really can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed the trip. Even though we went during the winter and it seemed more like a summer trip, we enjoyed each moment.
our amazing guide Ket was so helpful and shared with us a lot of historical information, and she was full of energy.
We met wonderful people from around the world, and ate delicious Georgian food!, I can’t ask for more.
The value we receive in comparison to the money spent is unquestionably a 10/10.
