Highlights
- Zhinvali - Zhinvali (Jinvali) water reservoir, also known as a lake is located on the Georgian Military Highway. Soviets constructed the dam in the 1980s. As Tbilisi was growing rapidly, there was a need of a new water supply. Government decided that the Aragvi Gorge rich with glacier water was the perfect spot.

I'm glad - The guide will guide you on the bus and at the tourist spots, and the rest of the day will be free time. The tour was packed with tourist attractions, so it kept to the schedule.
The Tripadvisor itinerary did not mention stopping at restaurants or honey, so I applied, but we ended up stopping there. There were a lot of flies in the restaurant and it was unsanitary.
The driver was driving roughly and we had to brake suddenly several times, but we managed to get back without any accidents. I think this type of driving is not just limited to the driver, but is a national trait.
There were a lot of issues, but I'm glad I participated in this tour.

Unexpected scenic views and sudden changes in itinerary - The road to Kazbegi was closed due to snow, so we ended up going to Gudauri Ski Resort instead. A girl in the group went skiing for the first time and ended up breaking her teeth in front with a bad fall. We were delayed by at least an hour. Thankfully, the rest of the trip was good with scenic views. I wished that they would inform us beforehand about such changes.

Very nice view. Good tour... - Very nice view. Good tour guide. The mini van was a bit squish not a lot of space for legs. In general good trip

Only mountains, no guides. - My expectations were high since the previous tour to Kakheti with this travel agency was like a 10!.
But the tour to Kazbegi wasn't anywhere near that experience.
So, essentially your tour guide can make it or break it for you.
We left on time and arrived by 8.30pm. And kudos to our driver for the smooth ride as it is very difficult to drive on those curvy mountain roads.
There was no water in the van (even though it was included in the package). We ended up purchasing it for 4-5 times the market price. And the guide wasn't even responsive to our complaint.
The tour was very aggressively "timed". At every spot we got a fixed 15-20min and the whole time we were just checking our watches.
Very little information was provided at each spot. I understand Kazbegi is an experience felt and there may not be much history to it. But the guide was not only difficult to understand as he spoke very fast, but also didn't provide us with any useful information.
It would have been better had we just taken a marshutka to Kazbegi.

Different from reality... - I wish I had read some of these reviews before I booked the Kazbegi tour with them. My experience was no way near as bad as what some of the others have written about but all in all I wish I had received more transparency about the scheduling of the trip.
For example, we were told we would arrive at Kazbegi between 2-3pm however it was more like 5pm.
And I specifically asked about the paragliding option and the female manager who sold as the tour specifically reassured us that it would be possible contingent on the weather. She even had the photos of people paragliding in her presentation "deck". However in reality, paragliding is not offered throughout the country for the last year after a fatal tragic accident.
Additionally, I wish I had been told that there is the chance that we would have to wait for others in the group to finish their optional activities such as rafting (at least 30 mins) and visit to Trinity Church (around 45 mins). This meant there was a lot of waiting around, pressuring from the guide to pay to join the activities, and late arrival. If I'd known, I may have considered other options as I was just looking for a one way trip to Kazbegi.
The guide, George, was actually pretty helpful and explained in good English so that's different from what others have written.
Thankfully I was blessed with nice people on the tour so it made the experience tolerable but they definitely could do some work on improving their sales tactic.

SCAM - Horrible Scammers!
I paid in advance, reached the meeting point and there were no buses to take us! I called the person in charge and she started yelling at me on the phone.
I requested a refund and still nothing from them and it’s been 3 days.
Trip Advisor is not helping reach them either.

The worst experience I've ever had in my life - The worst experience for anyone with his family is not to go to a driver who is over 70 years old and has a nervous disposition. He does not make you feel comfortable. He does not speak English, and we have not gone to all of the places, but only half of them, so my advice is to stay away from this company.

Avoid them - Terrible experience. They just promising you things which are unreal to get your money. We went for whole day tour to Kazbeki, till the last moment they was assuring us that weather conditions are alright and different then forecast say and we decided to trust locals. Big mistake, we saw nothing cos of weather and even tilll the very last moment they had been pushing us to pay extra money for jeep with claim, that they have info and on the top is weather ok. Total money rip off. Non friendly and rude guide and lunch at 17.00 included. Avoid them and find some else to let you show beauty of this country.
