Had a tiring but fun and informative day with the trip. Georgie was amazing with his knowledge about the Georgian culture and history, easily the highlight of the trip.
Make sure to wear comfortable clothing and shoes for the long adventure. Also you need to be comfortable traveling for 16 hours
Everything was very well organized. Our guide Anna was very engaging and knowledgeable, and her stories made the tour even more interesting. She’s an absolutely fantastic person, full of energy 🇬🇪 The whole trip went smoothly and without any stress. It was truly a unique experience — we wished we could stay longer to enjoy the beautiful views.
