“A bit similar to my other review since I happened to book two tours from the same company. Truly enjoyed the experience. Niko our guide is super knowledgeable and gave us lots of info, anecdotes, history, and answers to my questions. He really made the difference - accommodating our situations, making good suggestions to our plans, and helping with restaurant booking etc. The monasteries, mountains and monuments that we visited are superb. The Holy Trinity is under construction and the clouds are a hit heavy but the view is still breathtaking. The drive, especially back takes three and half hours so people with weak back need to consider. I still…”

Travel from central Tbilisi to Kazbegi on a guided day trip with air-conditioned transport, a small group of up to 17 people, honey tasting, Ananuri Fortress, Gudauri, and Gergeti Trinity Church. The 4WD ride to Gergeti costs an extra 20 GEL, and dinner in Kvemo Mleta is paid separately.

“The places seen on the tour were just as described in the tour description. We saw everything and it was all beautiful!! The bus was very comfortable. The tour lasted from 9am-8pm so plan for a full day. Bring enough cash (20 GEL) for the extra ride to the Gergeti Trinity Church since it is totally worth it! Also bring cash for the lunch and any snacks along the way (20-50 GEL). Only complaint was lunch was at the Best Western in Gudauri. While the food itself was not bad, travelers from the US at least don’t typically want to go to a hotel chain for a meal on a…”
