Excellent remote walking tour of the old city of Tbilisi with Bacho via internet. The technology worked well and Bacho has perfect English. Bacho is a friendly and very well informed guide. It was wonderful to get a taste of this beautiful and interesting looking city in the only way possible in current circumstances. Georgia is now very high on my list of countries to visit when circumstances allow and I will not hesitate to contact Bacho and Georgian holidays to help plan my trip. Highly recommended. Many thanks. Mike Davey England

This was my first trip out of six with One Way Tour. I've travel to 25 countries and sometimes use tour services. The price: excellent, you get to see so much for a small price. The crew at meeting point: On time every single time. The tour guide Sati: A gem. She makes it a beautiful experience not just a tour, She goes above and beyond 110%, The tour: never rushed, fun, the ride back always a wonderful experience with lots of music and singing. English speaking tour guides. The office employees: Adelaida was excellent to work with. Quick response to trip questions, took care of all my trip requests so i didn't have to worry about anything. I also use this company for my airport return. Came to Armenia without knowing anyone, left with so many new friends and one of the best experiences ever. Choose this tour company if you want a trip that connects you with locals and fills your heart.

This three day tour was a great introduction to Armenia. We really enjoyed trying different foods, visiting the homes of local families to learn about the culture firsthand, and seeing the stunning scenery and architecture of the country. There's so much history and culture to learn about in Armenia and we never would have been able to experience this if it weren't for the tour. Thanks!!

1 Day Trip To Armenia is the best possibility to visit a new country in just a day and see how different 2 neighbor countries might be,the best possibility for visiting places which take you to different centuries and makes you feel that time is changing with centuries in just a few minutes,you think you are traveling with a time machine but it is just our car which is driven through these beautiful places,you check 2 unesco heritage sites,try delicious local food,see how local people live and feel the influence of the soviet union,spending of a day for feeling different centuries is a great deal.

This is more than a review: this is the story about how I fell in love with Georgia, its people and everything that turned an unpretentious trip to a foreign country into something extraordinary, including the awesome team of Gamarjoba Tours. These guys will go above and beyond to accommodate all your needs and make you feel at home... And when I say that, I really, REALLY mean it - Georgian hospitality at its best! Tata, our amazing blue-haired tour guide, couldn't be recommended enough. As she led our way through snowy mountains and wine glasses, Tata became an instant friend and made the whole experience even more special :) It was trully an unforgettable trip and I can't wait to go back!
