Great Uplistsikhe tour

The Gori-Uplistsikhe tour was great!! Our guide Saba is a wonderful guide! He has vast knowledge on the history of Georgia, so he explained everything with details to us. The ride was comfortable, and our driver Omar drove smoothly.

Excellent Service

I along with my husband visited Georgia for three days only. For visiting Gori,Jvari Monastery, Uplistiche cave town I chose Gamarjoba Gerogia Tour as my tour organiser. They provided an excellent guide name Saba, who seems a knowledgeable, friendly guy for whom we enjoyed the entire tour and learnt a lot from him
