TrekGeorgia customized three sightseeing days for our three generations of family (including a 4- and 6-year-old) built around a few days at two different resorts. Leaving from Tbilisi, we went into the wine region, framed by the beautiful Caucasus Mountains. It was a perfect combination of fun (winery, horseback riding, climbing towers, easy hikes), culture (monasteries, museum), and spectacular scenery – all this amid the pandemic. Dimitri, our guide and driver, couldn't have given us a better experience. He was knowledgeable, patient and solicitous with the kids, and super dependable. We really enjoyed his company! It was our second visit to Georgia and we feel very comfortable and safe there. The people we met were friendly and welcoming. We are sure to return and would definitely consider arranging other tours with TrekGeorgia. Thank you, Dimitri and Nutsa (our guide on the previous visit)!

If you wish to explore off the beaten path sights, this one day tour to Katskhi pillar and Chiatura from Tbilisi might be interesting. You will see a monastery on 40 m high hill, where monk Maxime has been living in solitude for 25 years. The Katskhi pillar will gift you breathtaking views, and you will feel the silence of this place. Plunge into the Soviet time visiting Chiatura. Look around the town riding communism-era cable cars.

Our trip guided by David was perfect! David knows and loves so much about Georgia and is so happy to share it with you. It made me love Georgia, too. He is very responsible and a lot of fun and he let us decide much about how we want that trip to be, in order to give us the best experience. The trip during winter was just amazing with everything so white in the mountains, covered in snow, and the peace at Gergeti Trinity Church, the monestaries we stoped at, the changing views besides the road (the water reservoir, the wild river, then the mountains...), the Georgian lunch we had, the breathtaking view at the friendship monument.

The whole tour felt like improvising. I had no idea how all other people had so nice review. The tour guide somehow brought his girlfriend on the trip and basically ignored us and was smoking in the car the whole journey. At night we were in a local family and they had sex throughout the night; which would have been fine, but considered that the sound insulation was so bad and they did it so loud the WHOLE night. It was not fine. Absolutely not worth the price. I know about Georgian hospitality, we met really nice Georgians along the ways but Irakli was not one of them.

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!

I have never been to a place this magnificent, the beauty of the sceneries was overwhelming. I am so grateful for FixTravel for organizing an amazing day tour trip for me, they provided a private tour guide Mari. The whole plan they had for me was very well organized and filled with amazing spots. Mari was very knowledgebale and professional, she told the history of every place we visited in a very interesting way that keeps you wanting to listen and know more. I highly recommend FixTravel for their professionalism and friendly attitude. I for one wouldn't have known to reach to these special and magnificent spots on my own at this time, but thanks to them I had a lot of stories to go home with.

I recently had the pleasure of spending a weekend in Tbilisi with a colleague and was given Rati's name (Splendid Tours Georgia) as a guide. What an amazing experience from his pick-up at the airport, to his drop-off at the end. Friday we spent 11 hours with Rati and Saturday we spent the day until he dropped us off for our flight. Rati is beyond knowledgeable. If you ask: "what's that", you not only get the answer but the history as well. He listened to what we wanted to do, went above and beyond to show us around, and arranged the most fun-filled, historical, informational weekend adventure. Rati will customize the tour to your likes. There's so much to see in Georgia that it's definitely beneficial to have a knowledgeable guide to take you. Rati speaks amazing English and can also speak Georgian (of course) and Russian. You won't go wrong with Rati!

Dear friends, we invite you to plunge into the world of pristine nature of Georgia!

Please book here. They have good rates and excellent guide ( Nino ). We went away for a whole day and saw cave houses in the SE. If you want to learn and hear more about the country, this is your chance. Very affordable and they do pick ups at your hotel, hostel or B&B.
