An excellent, guided tour. - An excellent tour, well led, informative and a complete pleasure from start to finish. Uplistsikhe Caves were very interesting and the luch was tasty. Gori was fascinating for anyone interested in the history of the vile Stalin - I'm not sure Stalin fridge magnets should be a thing. Finally, the Georgia Chronicles offered impressive views over the reservoir/lake, as as being a well presented piece of outdoor art.

Day trip to Gori and the Cave City - We had an awesome day out in the snowy conditions with George and Nino. They looked after us very well and were very knowledgeable. I would certainly recommend them and will be using them again for other trips.

wst- tour experience - It was q great experience. The length and planning of the visit is well structured taking care of all the factors. I loved our tour guide Ms. NINO, this was my 3rd tour with her and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. There were 2 stops on this trip that required us to pay additional for entry tickets, which being informed beforehand we were prepared for the same. I would definitely love to tour with you guys again.
