Beautiful views

This day tour is part of our 8 days private tour with 11 region. If you only have one or two days to spend outside Tbilisi, Kazbegi should be the destination you are looking at. The view there is just simply fantastic. We were lucky that weather was good abd we managed to enjoy the view. If you happen to spend at night at Kazbegi, choose hotel room with direct view to the peak, it just made a difference

Tbilisi- Kazbegi - Kutaisi - Mestia - Ushguli

Giga has been very responsive from the start of our planning few months before the trip. We had a few places in mind and he suggested an itinerary based on that, arranged the transportation and even helped book the hotels. Besides showing us many scenic places in Georgia, Giga shared a lot of cultural and historic context. He is friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a tailored and hassle free travel experience.
