Tbilisi (English: /təbɪˈliːsi, təˈbɪlɪsi/ tə-bih-LEE-see, tə-BIL-ih-see; Georgian: თბილისი [tʰbilisi] ( listen)), in some countries also still named by its pre-1936 international designation Tiflis (/ˈtɪflɪs/ TIF-liss), is the capital and the largest city of Georgia, lying on the banks of the Kura River with a population of approximately 1.5 million people. Founded in the 5th century AD by Vakhtang I of Iberia, since then Tbilisi served as the capital of various Georgian kingdoms and republics. Between 1801 and 1917, then part of the Russian Empire, Tbilisi was the seat of the Imperial Viceroy, governing both Southern and Northern Caucasus.

What an amazing tour. My husband and I met at their office and we were welcomed by the team and offered a glass of famous Georgian wine. Our 'Get your Guide' guide, Tico was very knowledgeable and friendly. Her English was exceptional and she explained all the history of the sights we visited. There was time to stop for photo's and take in the various views of the city. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves finding out local history and want to know more about the city. It was a great introduction to Tblisi and I would take it at the start of your trip. We met some lovely people from around the worl in our small group. Our trip finished at a craft wine bar/shop and we learnt about why wine is important to Geogians and got to taste many too. It was a pleasure to listen to it explained so passionately. Dress for the weather and wear comfy shoes!

Big shout-out to Mariam who guided us through 3 wineries where we experienced a warm welcome. We had a beautiful experience, tasting Georgian wines which are different to wines made in other parts of the world. The highlight of the day trip was definitely Georgie, whose passion for winemaking is palpable. The scenic route to these wineries was also breathtaking.

The guide was on time and friendly. He gave us plenty of time at all sites including Uplistsikhe and at the Museum (Stalin) in Gori. The restaurant that we were taken to for lunch was good. We had the option to substitute a stop, so we visited a friend as guests instead of going to Mtskheta. That "detour" turned into a few visits with lots of wine and Georgian hospitality. The guide was professional and flexible with us. We had a great day!

I was really happy and excited the other days of my tour because my tour guides were really helpful and amazing until today... I did not like it, he has the stench of alcohol, smokes every seconds and DOESNT EVEN SAY A THING OR EXPLAIN ABOUT THE PLACE WE ARE VISITING. As a history fanatic, I am disappointed of this last day in Georgia because of the tour guide and the itinerary. I hope this does not taken to heart but fix and make the guests feel more comfortable instead of flirting with the tourists and talking about nasty uninteresting stuff all the way.

This is one trip nobody should miss if you are traveling to Georgia. It is even more special with Nugo and his brother George. They are not just guides but dear friends who would suggest places and take you around like their own family. They know their way in and out of Tbilisi and Gudauri with best recommendations for food , adventures , currency exchange , sim cards or anything for that matter. We didn't feel like we had to worry about a single thing as tourists. Moving to sightseeing, it's not only just explaining, but also helps you with taking amazing pictures. Overall 4 of us had a great trip !!!
