  • Ananuri Fortified Castle Ensemble - Ananuri Fortress is a castle complex from the 16th century situated on the Aragvi River.

  • Pasanauri - At Pasanauri, the Black and White Aragvi rivers converge, creating a striking visual contrast in their colors, often compared to yin and yang.

  • Gudauri - Gudauri is a ski resort and the highest settlement along the Georgian Military Road.

  • Stepantsminda - Known for its natural mineral spring, the rock from which the spring flows has a unique orange hue that looks stunning in photos (though it is not visible in winter due to snow). In Stepantsminda, all eyes are drawn to the 14th-century Gergeti Trinity Church and its belltower, set against the glacier-capped 5047-meter Mount Kazbek.

Built in the 14th century, it was listed by The Telegraph among the world’s most stunning churches, ranking sixth out of 23.

An exceptionally beautiful part of the world - My trip to Kazbegi was a little unique as I was travelling there for a race. Davit made the journey there an enjoyable & informative experience. It is a really interesting part of the world in terms of its history, legends and sheer natural beauty. Davit was flexible, accomodating, knowledgeable & a really nice person. I was quite bowled over by Georgia & will be returning with my family to explore further next month. I did not hesitate to contact Davit to arrange some tours. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide.

What a View! - What a hospitality! How warm environment and people. The most impressive thing for me the warmth I got from the people and from the informal relationships. Our driver (David) got us as his guests and the tour became very friendly.

The most impressive trip ever! - The trip was excellent!! The atmosphere was amazing, as we saw a lot of picturesque views and the guide told us very interesting stories. The feeling was that we know each other for a long period of time, that is why it was so impressing and we were not tired of road. The driver is professional. Even though the road is not so easy, the trip was safe and very comfortable. I highly recommend for visiting, as it worth it.

Fabolous! - Have never seen such a breathtaking sightseeing like in Kazbegi – FYI it is a mountainous town in the northern part of Georgia that has plenty of spectacular views! Of course, we didn’t miss the opportunity to try “khinkali” made by the locals according to their traditions! Really liked our tour guide (Irakli), who didn’t hesitate to show us the surroundings of the mountainous region!

Excellent! - I had the best experience on this day trip. Out tour guide was David, who is super friendly and very informative about all the cultural stops on the way. It was never a boring moment with him the entire time during the car ride. He spoke to us about the history and culture of the country. He arrived at our hotel on time pick up in his clean and very comfortable car. I highly recommend booking with him, he was so patient with us and let us stop for pictures and breaks on the way. I’m definitely considering coming back again in the winter time and will definitely book with him again! Thank you David 🙏
