Rainbow mountain - must see!

Rainbow Mountain is a must see! Lots of tours in Georgia are very long, but this is a perfect length - about 8 hours. Shoti was an amazing guide - I learned so much about the sites as well as more generally about Georgia. You walk around a bit, so be prepared for that, but the effort is worth it! The driver Omar was great and kept us safe.

David Gareja trip

Gio was excellent! He was patient and answered all our never-ending questions. It was well organised with zero hassles. Special thanks to Kate at Gamarjoba travels who swiftly managed a booking mix-up (that was my fault). Kudos to the entire team! Highly recommended!
