This was the highlight of my 3 day Georgia trip. I loved everything from the ancient cave city of Uplistsikhe to the Stalin museum in Gori. Gori was also where I ate the best meal of my trip, which was made even more amazing by the traditional Georgian dance performances. As amazing the places were, I don't think I would have enjoyed even a fraction of what I did if it weren't for our guide May. She is extremely knowledgeable about Goergian and Soviet history and touring with her and hearing her talk were very educational for me. As someone, who loves to travel for the history and culture of the place, I felt she was the best guide I could have asked for.

We really enjoyed our trip to Gudauri. The guide was very kind, having amazing knowledge of Georgian history, showed us so many beautiful places on the way from Tbilisi to Gudauri. The team was very responsive and supportive through email, phone and whatsapp which make it very convenient to arrange the trip. Gudauri resort fabulous place, unfortunately we spend very less time there but we will definitely go there again with night stay at their resort. Thank you GYG team!
