August 12, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

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.

Our trip guided by David was perfect! David knows and loves so much about Georgia and is so happy to share it with you. It made me love Georgia, too. He is very responsible and a lot of fun and he let us decide much about how we want that trip to be, in order to give us the best experience. The trip during winter was just amazing with everything so white in the mountains, covered in snow, and the peace at Gergeti Trinity Church, the monestaries we stoped at, the changing views besides the road (the water reservoir, the wild river, then the mountains...), the Georgian lunch we had, the breathtaking view at the friendship monument.

Omg! I cannot even start describing how memorable Karlo made this entire experience for me and my sister who recently took a trip with him. He curated the trip in a short time exactly how we had imagined. We hiked in the rain which was so worth it, we visited his village which was so beautiful, met some lovely locals, tasted fabulous wine, horseback riding across nature and basically had a great time. Karlo understood us and delivered his best. I have been to Georgia before but I have never had such a different and worthwhile experience. I am glad we chose Karlo and we will soon come back for more adventure.
