Really worthwhile day trip with an excellent guide and great tour company. - We had an excellent day trip with tour guide Mariam. She was a warm and friendly guide and her knowledge of Georgia is both deep and wide. Her English was fantastic. We highly recommend her and the tour as well as the company. They reached out in advance a couple of times, provided good directions for the meeting point and times. The sites were interesting and the tour provides a good combination of Georgian history over various time periods. The driver drove an EV which we appreciated. Our only slightly negative comment was that even on highways our driver drove very slowly; we were not keeping pace with traffic. I appreciate a focus on safe driving but this seemed a little much and likely added unnecessary time to a long day. But we still highly recommend our tour guide, this company and this tour.
