What people are saying about Tbilisi

Absolutely fantastic experience. We were picked up from our hotel by Khatuna in her very comfortable and clean car. Tour was exactly as described in the offer. We visited wine factory, tried delicious bread and cheese, visited a old fortress, went to the monastery and had beautiful lunch with the breathtaking view in city of love. Our experience was unforgettable because of Khatuna. We felt safe with her and were treated like her old friends. She has incredible knowledge about history and georgian culture. Most important She gave us an unlimited freedom during this trip. If you want to go for a wine tour in georgia and cannot decide who to choose - think no more - call Khatuna and you will have your best day in georgia with her. I am giving her 5 stars only because I cannot give 6.

I heard about the tour company by chance and they were an important part of my enjoyment of the trip to Georgia. A comfortable mini bus with places for a single person and a couple and a back bench. Pleasant music accompanies you. The places, the explanations, the abundance of wine and food. The lovely guide Kat who made our time pleasant with great knowledge. For me it is a right decision to go out with this tour company!!

Lika the guide was great and was explaining everything with big knowledge of anything we asked about wine, Georgia or even general topics that we discussed about during our tour. The wine was good and we had the chance to try different types. thank you :)

Such a great tour! The guide was super knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a great day. So many unique experiences all in one day. Highly recommend!
