The best trip ever. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to discover stunning Georgia with all its amazing nature, surprising contrasts and wonderful people.

If you decide to take a trip with Spirit of Georgia you can be sure you will be fully satisfied as they are flexible, open minded and great companions who know Georgia very well and can show you places that you would probably never see as “regular tourist” ;)) surely I will be back!!!

This is more than a review: this is the story about how I fell in love with Georgia, its people and everything that turned an unpretentious trip to a foreign country into something extraordinary, including the awesome team of Gamarjoba Tours. These guys will go above and beyond to accommodate all your needs and make you feel at home... And when I say that, I really, REALLY mean it - Georgian hospitality at its best! Tata, our amazing blue-haired tour guide, couldn't be recommended enough. As she led our way through snowy mountains and wine glasses, Tata became an instant friend and made the whole experience even more special :) It was trully an unforgettable trip and I can't wait to go back!

The Northern Door of Georgia - also called Kazbegi Mountain, a valley town with the famous hilltop silhouette of Holly Sameba Church and the towering snowy cone of Mt Kazbek looking down from the west. Now officially named Stepantsminda, but still commonly known as Kazbegi, it's a base for some wonderful walking. Each season has its unique beauty, In Wintertime there is heavy snow and all the mountains are covered with snow, Spring and Summertime everything is green and full of different flowers, Autumn is amazing with its colorful forests. It is a unique experience for first-time visitors to Georgia.

We had 8 days customised tour with Vepkhia from Tbilisi- Mtskheta-Kazbegi-Gori-Borjomi-Kutaisi- Chiatura-Mestia-Tbilisi. It was amazing how much of Georgia we actually covered. Such an amazing country! Our tour guide, Vepkhia, was very attentive, patient the whole time (as my mum and two friends stopped everywhere for photos lol), and truly delivered quality service! The transfers were perfect and done with a comfortable Mercedes van. He always made sure everyone is as safe and comfortable as possible. His service was excellent from start to finish. FYI, Vepkhia was very knowledgable and personable, making the combination of the history, culture, including food and wine experiences a very enjoyable tour (especially when he made toasts during suppers :)) Thank you so much Tiger, Vepkhia!! Highly recommend!!!

This review is way overdue, but is well deserved! In early Oct 2019, my 78 year old mom and I took a 10-day tour of the beautiful country of Georgia with Levan Tours and Georgi was our guide/driver for the entire time. Our 1st day started with a half day tour of Tbilisi and extended to Kazbegi, Mtskheta, Gori, Uplistsikhe, Borjomi, Rabati, Vardzia, Qutaisi, Sataplia Caves, Martvili Canyon, Kakheti, Signagi, Telavi, and many other places in between. Georgi made sure my mom was comfortable and well attended. He maneuvered windy roads and negotiated narrow passages that were taken over by cows/sheep with great care. Georgi also made sure we bought the best churchkhela to take back home, tasted cheese varieties like Imereti /Sulguni and the Georgian bread Shoti and introduced us to the best Georgian wines made by the Schuchmann Winery. I loved their 2017 Saperavi so much that I bought 2 cases from a local distributor when I got back home. Overall, our trip to Georgia was one of the most memorable trips I have taken (and I travel very frequently) due to Levan Tours' carefully crafted itinerary and Georgi's wonderful treatment of us as guests (and not as traveling clients). He was very responsive from day one when I emailed him about the tour, answering all my questions in detail. He accommodated my mom's needs and was very attentive to our conversations. One day I mentioned that I have not had a persimmon in Georgia and the next day, he brought me a few ripe ones in addition to grapes from his yard. Small acts of kindness like this creates a very positive impression not only on the individual level, but also on Georgian people in general. In summary, I LOVED the beautiful country of Georgia and enjoyed every moment spent there. I highly recommend Levan Tours, which is the way to go if you want to cover vast territory with a guide who is proficient in English and very careful driver. Thank you, Georgi for wonderful, long lasting memories you helped to create for me and my mom.
