Founded in the 5th century AD by Vakhtang I of Iberia, since then Tbilisi served as the capital of various Georgian kingdoms and republics.

This tour is a MUST whilst in Georgia! It was definitely the best day of our trip! Kakha is an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable about everything! The places chosen to visit was picked out perfectly and well spaced out. From the cheeses to the house and dinner included was amazing and we meet some new friends! The wine in Georgia is fabulous and we are now willing to try many more and took some away with us! Views of the mountains to the old bomb shelter tunnels was truly unique! We have recommend our friends to do this trip next week and if we come back we would it it all again!

Big shout-out to Mariam who guided us through 3 wineries where we experienced a warm welcome. We had a beautiful experience, tasting Georgian wines which are different to wines made in other parts of the world. The highlight of the day trip was definitely Georgie, whose passion for winemaking is palpable. The scenic route to these wineries was also breathtaking.

I booked my Snowmobile tour with very short notice. Nevertheless Tsotne made it happen. Everything worked out perfect. Transfer from Tiblisi was on time and the whole drive to Bakurianu i was given valuable information about the country and the people. Tsotne speaks fluent english and it was nice to communicate with him. The Snowmobiles were in good shape und worked without complications. Although it was a bit foggy, the tour was a blast. I had a very good time. Next time i get to Georgia i will definately book another tour with Tsotne.
