“I recently experienced an incredible half-day tour of Tbilisi with Giga, and it far exceeded my expectations. While expertly navigating us through the city's highlights - from the ancient Metekhi Church to the stunning Narikala Fortress and the atmospheric Old Town - he transformed what could have been a standard city tour into an authentic cultural immersion. Giga's extraordinary hospitality went well beyond his role as a guide; he shared personal insights about Georgian life and treated us more like visiting friends than tourists. His passion for Georgia's heritage and attentiveness to every detail demonstrated a level of hospitality that truly embodied the Georgian spirit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

He did his absolute best with what he had to work with and for that we were all extremely grateful. This tour company is so, so lucky to have him.
