“Excellent full day tour with highlights Gergeti Trinity church under Kazbeg mountain (high over 2,000 meters), Ananuri Fortress and church and interesting Russian Georgian Friendship monument (nice colors, but reminded me on Soviet Union time from my memories). We had a great guide (sorry, I forgot the name) and fast driver. This was the best value full day trip.”

“Wanting to see the birthplace of Joseph Stalin is why I chose this tour. Also went to a few monasteries. The scenery did not disappoint would recommend..”
Armenia day trip from Tbilisi with UNESCO monasteries, homemade lunch, MiG-21 museum, and private transport for $59.
“The day trip to Armenia was arduous and uncomfortable. The van used was old and small, making the long day even longer. We spent as much time getting through the border and on and off the cramped van as we did at the sights. The lunch provided was very good and although the sights we saw were interesting, they were all monasteries. Anna did a good job explaining the history, but the things we saw were not varied enough to be interesting. I would not recommend this trip to others.”
Day trip from Tbilisi to Gudauri and Kazbegi by 4WD, with Zhinvali, Ananuri, and Gergeti church mountain views. $35.
“The Gudauri & Kazbegi day tour with Gamarjoba Georgia Tours was top-tier energy and planning. Our guide Catherine = walking encyclopaedia, Informative, patient, fun, and somehow always one step ahead of the clock (time management Queen 👑). Driver Jaba = mountain whisperer. Smoothest and safest driving on the curves of the Georgian Military Road. Zero fear, 100% trust, elite playlist-in-head vibes. Weather: -3°C, breezy, spicy-cold — the kind that makes you question every life choice… until you see those snow views in Gudauri and Kazbegi and suddenly you’re like: “Worth it, would freeze again.” Highly recommended!!”

George, our tour guide, was great - he really took the time to provide us with the history and context. He also made sure that each of the tour participants are comfortable, which was so appreciated.
