Excellent remote walking tour of the old city of Tbilisi with Bacho via internet. The technology worked well and Bacho has perfect English. Bacho is a friendly and very well informed guide. It was wonderful to get a taste of this beautiful and interesting looking city in the only way possible in current circumstances. Georgia is now very high on my list of countries to visit when circumstances allow and I will not hesitate to contact Bacho and Georgian holidays to help plan my trip. Highly recommended. Many thanks. Mike Davey England

Beautiful, wild and mysterious, Svaneti is an ancient landlocked in the Caucasus, so remote that it was never tamed by any ruler. Uniquely picturesque villages and snow-covered, 4000 m-plus peaks rising above flower-strewn alpine meadows provide a superb backdrop to the many walking trails. Svaneti’s emblem is the koshki (defensive stone tower), designed to house villagers at times of invasion and local strife (until recently Svaneti was renowned for its murderous blood feuds). Tour available from Tbilisi or Kutaisi.

Inclusions: Breakfast, 3 nights accommodation, Fuel surcharge, Bottled water, Local guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Private tour

Exclusions: Food and drinks

Svaneti is one of the most beautiful mountainous regions not only in Georgia, but arguably in the whole of Eastern Europe. While traveling in Svaneti guests can enjoy breathtaking views & landscapes of the Caucasus and experience the mountainous culture of the region by visiting local museums and towers which date back to the 11th and 12th centuries. The five day (4 nights) tour to Svaneti is an adventure & sightseeing tour accompanied with the ultimate cultural immersion experience. During the trip, guests will have the opportunity to hike to the Shtugra waterfall in Becho valley & also to the Chalaadi Glacier near Mestia. Guests will also have opportunity to take the cable car up to Hatsvali – tall mountain with a stunning panoramic view of the Ushba peak. The most interesting part of the tour is arguably the journey to the early medieval village Ushguli - which is home to numerous defensive towers from the early middle ages.

Zviad gave a great 3 day tour of Khevsureti (we only had time for half the tour). He is a great and safe driver (and it was a rough road) and took us to all the amazing spots. He has good connections with lots of people in the region and as a result we had some great meals. He was laid back and very accommodating (we took our dog on the trip with us). Highly recommended!

The guide was on time and friendly. He gave us plenty of time at all sites including Uplistsikhe and at the Museum (Stalin) in Gori. The restaurant that we were taken to for lunch was good. We had the option to substitute a stop, so we visited a friend as guests instead of going to Mtskheta. That "detour" turned into a few visits with lots of wine and Georgian hospitality. The guide was professional and flexible with us. We had a great day!

If you are traveling to Georgia and want to hire Koba as a guide but he is busy, reschedule your trip for when he is available. He is that good. I am just now finishing a 21 day solo trip with Koba that ranged from the east to the black sea and everything in between. Koba's knowledge of the country is encyclopedic, his good humor never wained and his enthusiasm never faltered. I have traveled extensively and because of Koba, this is one of my best trips. This is my unqualified recommendation.
