Best Kakheti Trip - The trip to kakheti was amazing . I recommend anyone visiting Georgia to go with the tour guide Nino. She made double efforts to speak in two languages, Russian and English . Moreover, she is really dedicated and passionate about her work. She knew about the history and was really informative . In addition , she always smiles and gives positive vibes. This is exactly what we need in our trips and life 😊

A day Wine (well) spent - We were a group of 16 and the tour was in Russian and English. Our tour guide was Nino and she ensured that all the details were narrated in both the languages. She was very informative and made sure to answer any and all questions. She made sure that the entire group stayed together and on time! Tour started with a stop at a local shop for wine and sweets and ended with scrumptious food and wine tasting at Telavi with visits to Bodbe monastery and Sighnaghi in between. Was a day well spent and would definitely recommend the guide and the agency as well.

Tourist handling - The guide Nino was very friendly, but you can see nothing worth seeing except the monastery Bodbe. Instead, one is dragged from one level to the next. The restaurant for lunch is overpriced and bad.
