“The "guide" was a 15 year old kid that doesn't know anything. I felt like babysitting him all day. He only wanted to talk about anime and things teenagers like. He said he doesn't have friends so it felt like he was using us for his own social wellbeing. I felt sorry for him. During the tour he got lost and we had to wait for him at the car. Eventually he showed up dehydrated so I got him some water. He kept staring at me and I told him to give us some space because he was constantly eves dropping. It was a bit of a nightmare. This tour…”

“The only good thing I can credit here is the undeniable beauty of local nature. Wherever we stopped, it was a real eye-pleaser. Now, as to the cons: 1) I have nothing against the guide personally, so it’s not a character attack at all. She was a nice person. However, it’s hard to call this a “guided” tour since the guide does not speak English well. Trust me, this criticism does not come from a place of entitlement, like I expect everyone in the world to know English because it’s a lingua franca. However, if your job is to be a tour guide for foreigners who chose English as the…”

“Incredible sites, I recommend taking the boat trips as well (if you had to choose one of the two, then go for the canyon boat- it is one of the most awe striking views I’ve seen in my life). The guide Nino was lovely, super helpful, funny and attentive. The bus is a little cramped with smallish windows. We stopped on the way out of Tbilisi and on the way back at a rest stop with gas-station quality coffee. Lunch was reasonably good at a small restaurant near the canyon, and there was lots of opportunities to get fruits from near the attractions. I do recommend packing snacks or getting…”
