Best Tour In Georgia

We had the absolute pleasure of exploring with Giga as our tour guide, and he truly made our trip unforgettable! From the moment we met him, Giga was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about every site we visited. Whether we were hiking through scenic landscapes, exploring ancient churches, or tasting local cuisine, Giga shared fascinating stories and fun facts that brought each location to life. What we appreciated most was his passion—not just for history and culture, but for ensuring we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. He was patient with our endless photo stops, flexible with our itinerary, and even threw in a few surprise local spots we’d never have discovered on our own. If you're visiting and want more than just a “standard tour,” book Giga. He’s not just a guide—he becomes a friend by the end of the journey. Thank you, Giga! We hope to see you again on our next adventure.

If you are interested in wine this is the tour for you!

What a remarkable day we had on Giga’s tour. We grow grapes in Australia and are interested in wine – so the highlight for us was a visit to Giga’s home/winery, to learn about his embrace of ancient Georgian winemaking techniques, and to taste his excellent wine. But the whole day was wonderful. We learned a lot about Georgian history, we visited some important and beautiful historical sites, we met with another Georgian grape growing/wine making family and shared a fabulous home cooked meal in their garden. We didn’t feel like tourists; we felt like valued guests. It was a day we will never forget! Highly highly recommended.

Wine tour was a wonderful experience. Giga not only provided us with valuable information about wine making but also took us to amazing places such as his wine cellar and a local home where we had an amazing lunch with local people. I would definitely recommend this tour because it is unique experience and the wine is delicious!!!
