Overview

There’s not enough space in this paragraph to describe how amazing this tour is. Everything about this tour is a hit. We take you to places older than most of the sites that you will see in most other countries in Europe - 6,000-year-old caves, 4th Century Monastery, 11th Century Church. You feel Georgian history in the beautiful countryside. The views from the all visited places are breathtaking. Maybe some places like the museum of Stalin aren’t your cup of tea, but this part is also optional and our guides try to tell you a lot of interesting stories about him. We show his birthplace and will be able to go on Stalin's train carriage.
The best part of the tour is our wonderful, knowledgeable, and super-cool guides. Our guides are highly informative, but also hilarious and fun
The lunch on this tour is definitely a highlight! A lovely local family welcome us into their home and serve us the most delicious food and wine, and they perform some traditional Georgian dances for us.
