A deep knowledgeable understanding of Georgia (the guide + the organisation of the tour). Great organisation. Comfortable places where to sleep. The travelling part was a bit too long.
It definitely was a great experience which became an adventure at some times. The dovetailing of cultural activities and genuine discovery of Georgian taste and experiences was absolutely wonderful. Thilvi, Khachapuri, and the beautiful region of Khakheti will always be remembered — indeed great memories are what you expect with those tours — and they are indeed made.
Thank you Pavel and thank you Georgia.to!

Francophone tour guiding. Good organisation — most logistical issues sorted in advance and guide was always prompt ready to resolve any additional issues.
This was a most enjoyable and well-balanced circuit which gave a good view of different sides of Georgia and helped us get an idea of the country as a whole. It included breathtaking scenery, unbelievably adventurous roads (some of which needed a 4x4 to negotiate), fascinating sites to visit, comfortable accommodation and interaction with local people.
A word of advise: don't forget to bring clothing for all season because the weather is quite variable across the country, and can be quite cold and wet in the mountains, even in summer.
Food and drink are tasty though perhaps not ideal for weight-watchers, and you can expect to be offered wine at every meal, including breakfast!

Pavel + thanks for the organization. Pavel, his courage, his commitment to his clients, his beliefs.
The trip involved too many kilometers, too many days spent in the car, no lunch breaks, late arrivals at sites for visits.
Georgia is an interesting country more for its natural sites than its cultural sites from our point of view.
For us, the two key sites are:
– Kazbegi. Mountains
– Svaneti. Mountains and towers
and to a lesser extent:
– Tbilisi for its atmosphere, especially at night –> Visit rather at the end of the trip and for a shorter time.
– Batumi
For travelers from old Europe, the other cultural visits are less interesting.
We would have liked less time in the car and more time at the remarkable sites.
And lunch breaks in beautiful places —> more nature.
We really enjoyed the guesthouses with locals and their hospitality.

Merci Natacha pour le commentaire. Dans le souhait de faire découvrir le maximum nous avons inclus beaucoup de choses dans ce voyage : visiter toutes les régions de la Géorgie en un seul voyage, personne le fait ! D'autres voyageurs, au contraire, ont mis ça en point fort. Mais je suis d'accord avec vous et nous allons améliorer le timing pour notre catalogue 2023. Merci et à la prochaine !

Very careful about our needs, knowledge of the country, amazing guide, good places to stay, interesting visits. Too much car travel sometimes, maybe alternate long trip / short trip.
Georgia tour is the best way to discover the country the way it is, like a Georgian would experience it. When the tour is over, you almost feel like half a tourist since you've been to all the roads, cultural sites and cities of Georgia, eating traditional food and being hosted by very nice Georgians in their home.
Also Pavel is a very good guy, passionate and willing to make you discover as much things as possible while making sure the organisation please you, and that you are having a good time.

Grâce à Pavel, notre guide et chauffeur dont le français est impeccable (tout autant que l'anglais) nous avons passé un excellent séjour à la découverte de la Géorgie méconnue et authentique.
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir car Pavel sait agrémenter le séjour par des attentions, des anecdotes, et des détours fort appréciés.
Des connaissances et de l'intérêt pour ce beau pays dont il fait découvrir les petits recoins bien cachés.

Très professionnel, passionné par son métier, maîtrise très bien la culture et tout sujet lié à l'histoire de la Géorgie. Aimable et professionnel, Pavel !
Certains points à revoir au niveau d'hébergement. Séjour à écourter si peu de visite. Par exemple à Ushguli (Glacier).
Meilleur voyage. Découverte de différentes régions de la Géorgie et de la gastronomie de ce beau pays.

Many great places, friendly and professional. Most places we stayed at were very comfortable. I would suggest to improve lodging in the first hotel or find a new place.
Overall very satisfied. We saw places we would not have on our own. Great way to discover Georgia.

Very well organized tour. Encompassed all the major sites of Georgia. Tour leader was very knowledgeable & researched thoroughly the history of the sites.
Tour leader speaks Russian, French and English. He catered to individual tastes and always pointed out things that he knew I would enjoy. Accommodation in the cities (Tbilisi and Batumi) was very nice and comfortable hotels. Guesthouses in more remotes areas were more basic, but always clean and comfortable and well-located.
The real highlight of the tour for me was Svanetia, specifically Mestia & Ushguli — magnificent scenery.
I would definitely recommend this tour and would use this company again for more in-depth exploration of the region.
