Uplistsikhe Gori and Mtskheta Trip

We had booked one day tour to Mtskheta, Gori and Uplistsikhe. Dima was our guide. He was really good and shared all the details about the places. Special thanks to our driver Mr 007 for our safe journey throughout the day.

Very good Tour

We had a fantastic trip thanks to our incredible guide, Shoti! He shared so much knowledge with us — he's a walking encyclopedia! The lunch was surprisingly good for a tour, with excellent quality for the price. Highly recommended!
