Great tour! Had Nika for...

Great tour! Had Nika for a guide. Fun, educational, and lots of sightseeing. Due to rain, we weren't able to do the full hike. However, we still did a bit of it, and they made up for it by throwing in an additional wine tour. Strongly recommend.

Amazing day

Pick up location was easy to find. Our tour guide George was fantastic - he was very knowledgeable, friendly and helped while hiking if anyone needed it (some sections are quite steep). Both Rainbow Mountain and David Gareja Monastery were amazing - we thoroughly enjoyed our day. The views were spectacular! The van however had limited legroom which made the journey somewhat uncomfortable.

Rainbow mountain

Miriam made this tour amazing. We have visited lake, cave, monestary and rainbow mountains. On the way there Miriam was giving useful information and interesting facts about Georgia. Language was good and understandable and there was lot of facets about Georgian history. I would love to hear more about recent history and contemporary customs. I would use this agency once again.
