Road Trips in Georgia

Living in Moscow with many georgian friends and restaurants and general influence, we wanted to visit the place. We ve been picked up at airport spent two days discovering Tbilissi and around, then moved to the wine country around Kvareli heading east where we visited more churches, wineyard, local business, historical village with caucasus mountains in background.

We had wanted to visit Georgia after hearing about it from our nephew and then I researched it. At that point I contacted Khatuna and between us we agreed 2 two day itineries with her providing some extra suggestions which were great. We had numerous emails and she was very patient dealing with all my queries! We spent 3 days in Tbilisi on our own which was our choice and worked well. Highlights were Gergeti, Davit Gareja ( quite a climb which we managed, although I hadn't realised the walk along the ridge where the caves were would have quite such a drop and tested my dislike of heights - Georgio was very encouraging and I was very glad to have done it), the home stay and lunch at the fruit farm which my husband as a fruit enthusiast loved. We enjoyed finding out so much about the country from Georgio.

Georgia is now in my top 5 countries! The guide and driver were excellent, especially the driver who went out of his way to engage with me as a solo traveller. The trip had really been tailored for me and my needs and I really appreciated this on paper and then experiencing it. For example, my budget could only stretch to basic accommodation but the very best seemed to have been provided, likewise my days with a guide were limited but it worked very well.
