May 16, 2022 Malia Yoakum

Tbilisi (English: /təbɪˈliːsi, təˈbɪlɪsi/ tə-bih-LEE-see, tə-BIL-ih-see; Georgian: თბილისი [tʰbilisi] ( listen)), in some countries also still named by its pre-1936 international designation Tiflis (/ˈtɪflɪs/ TIF-liss), is the capital and the largest city of Georgia, lying on the banks of the Kura River with a population of approximately 1.5 million people. Founded in the 5th century AD by Vakhtang I of Iberia, since then Tbilisi served as the capital of various Georgian kingdoms and republics. Between 1801 and 1917, then part of the Russian Empire, Tbilisi was the seat of the Imperial Viceroy, governing both Southern and Northern Caucasus.

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

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!

This is one trip nobody should miss if you are traveling to Georgia. It is even more special with Nugo and his brother George. They are not just guides but dear friends who would suggest places and take you around like their own family. They know their way in and out of Tbilisi and Gudauri with best recommendations for food , adventures , currency exchange , sim cards or anything for that matter. We didn't feel like we had to worry about a single thing as tourists. Moving to sightseeing, it's not only just explaining, but also helps you with taking amazing pictures. Overall 4 of us had a great trip !!!

Great experience and wonderful tour guide. We had a great time with this tour company; they are knowledge, polite, professional and provide a great comfort for the tour.

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.
