Additional Information

The Caucus Mountains are admired for their captivating beauty and the area’s profound past. The isolated Gergeti Trinity Church, the only structure of its kind in the Khevi province, was constructed in the 14th century by an anonymous builder. The separate bell tower, constructed slightly later, is from the equivalent timeframe as the church. Strategically positioned atop a precipitous mountain and enveloped by an expansive natural landscape, this church is a remarkable emblem for Georgia. Notably, the 18th century Georgian writer, Vakhushti Batonishvili, documented that during perilous times, invaluable artifacts from Mtskheta, including the Cross of Saint Nino, were safeguarded here. Despite the prohibition of all religious ceremonies during the Soviet period, the church continued to be a favored destination for visitors. Today, the actively functioning church is part of the Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church.

Memorable Tour of Signagi with Nicholas - Nicholas / Nico was our driver and guide during our tour to the Khaketi region of Georgia. Our experience with Nicholas as our guide was exceptional from start to finish. He contacted us the day before to confirm our meeting time, ensuring everything ran smoothly from the outset. Nicholas was not only warm and kind but also provided us with a comprehensive perspective of Georgia, its diverse regions, and in-depth insights into the Kakheti region and Georgia's wine-making traditions. Despite my knee injury, which I had informed him about beforehand, Nicholas adeptly adjusted the tour to accommodate my needs without missing any of the key sights. Nicholas's assessment of my injury was astute, allowing me to enjoy the wall of Signagi with his encouragement. Throughout the tour, Nicholas actively engaged with us, sharing fascinating details about Georgia, the Kakheti region, its rich wine culture, and Signagi itself. His enthusiasm and knowledge made the tour not only informative but also highly enjoyable, leaving us with lasting memories. We wholeheartedly recommend Nicholas as a guide for anyone exploring Georgia. His professionalism, empathy, and dedication to ensuring a memorable experience truly set him apart. Thank you Nicholas !

Trip from Tbilisi to Yerevan with Nik - We went on a private trip from Tbilisi to Yerevan with Nik. Nik is a very nice person and a very good driver (which is quite important since traffic in Georgia and Armenia can be crazy :-D). Nik owns a comfortable big car with WiFi access. We definitely recommend to book a tour with Nik.

Best Georgian experience thanks to Niki - Had booked Niki as driver and Guide during our weeks stay in Georgia. Would like to thanks nick for everything. His knowledge about all the places, his help to get the best restaurants, his eagerness to go out of the way to ensure that kids had the fun, his concern for us, well the list is long. He is a complete Guide plus driver. He ensures we learn about the country and the history, he helps in local language with the locals when needed.. to the extend that I have asked 4-5 of my family friend to be helped as Driver/Guide and never once did anyone have any complaint. Very highly recommended by us. If you not interested only in a driver/guide but someone who understands your need and does that extra mile to just ensure that you get the best, pls reach out to him Thanks Niki

It is all about Georgia! And all this was shown to us by our wonderful tour guide and just a cool guy Nika! He is really the best guide you could possibly get ever, he is knowledgeable, goes well beyond and above to make sure your experience is memorable. He is also a very skilled photographer! We had a very interesting route. It feels like Nika loves his country very much! And now we are in love with Georgia too! Nika, thank you so much!

Very relaxing holiday - It was our wonderful, emotional, family trip. Everything was very comfortable and interesting. My 9-year-old daughter remembers the stories and parables that Niko told during excursions. We plan to come again.
