We were in Tbilisi and in Georgia for the first time after a very long break, when we managed to come here during the Soviet Union times with a short trade union voucher. I won't compare, because back THEN we were practically not shown anything, fed poorly. But now everything went wonderfully. In a short amount of days, our group somehow bonded, found a common language, and spent time on excursions with pleasure. Many thanks to the organizer ZARE, our driver-guide along the route, and simply a wonderful soul Magomed. About the guide in Tbilisi, and on trips outside the city, about Zaza, it's hard to put into words. This is a person with deep knowledge, able to narrate slowly and very richly, highlighting the most important and interesting aspects of our excursions. Zaza is a patriot of his country and city, which deserves great respect and adds an even greater impression to all the sites we visited. Thanks to the whole team, and to Tana, who looked after everything that could contribute to our smooth schedule of excursions and relaxation.
Good day! If you want to go on an unforgettable journey, then this is for you! In one trip, we covered three countries, breathed the air of the Caucasus Mountains, admired the swift flow of mountain rivers, plunged into the history and traditions of the Caucasus, enjoyed local dishes and wines, saw the charm of Georgia and Armenia. We touched the walls of churches built in different centuries (the Trinity Church, praised by A.S. Pushkin in 1829 - 'There, to hide in a cloud cell, to be close to God with me', visited the Jvari Monastery where we saw the confluence of two rivers, Aragvi and Kura, as described by M.Y. Lermontov in 'Mtsyri' in 1839 - 'Where, merging, they rustle, Embracing like two sisters, The streams of Aragvi and Kura', admired the Cathedral of Sveti Tskhoveli, saw the sacred mountain Ararat from the walls of the Khor Virap Monastery. We became a part of the life of 3 capitals - Vladikavkaz, Tbilisi, Yerevan, for a while. And of course, our journey would not have been possible without our wonderful organizers Karine, Alexander, Marat, and our amazing fellow travelers. We want to express our gratitude to Karine for her fascinating stories and to our professional driver Marat. Looking forward to new meetings and new journeys with you.
It was a fantastic tour! Excellent guides, vivid emotions. We were very lucky with the weather - neither too hot nor too cold. The tour was full of different locations. Comfortable accommodation both in terms of rooms and city locations. Comfortable car and driving style. Everything was optimal in terms of information, excursions, and free time. We were very satisfied, plenty of emotions will last for at least a month, if not more! Thanks to the whole team - Alexander, Karina, and Marat! I definitely recommend it, if someone is hesitating in choosing!
