Georgia Tours for Experienced Travelers

This was another fabulous World Expeditions adventure complete with excellent guides, beautiful trails with stunning wildflowers, and wonderful hosts at homesteads who ensured the rooms were clean and cozy and the food delicious. Armenia was beautifu with its rolling hills and mountainsl. Georgia was stunning with its high, snow-capped mountains. It was my eighth W.E. trip, and it lived up to the high standards - and my high expectations - of all of the others. I can't recommend this trip highly enough.

Loved our time in Georgia. The scenery was gorgeous and some parts of the trek were quite challenging. Staying in village guesthouses was fantastic-they were often basic but always clean. Our guide Lasha was wonderful, with a great knowledge of history and culture.

The trip leader, Nick, is outstanding in every sense - intelligent, kind and witty. His knowledge of Georgia and his caring towards its people and history were wholehearted. I loved hearing about the history of each site we visited and went for being ignorant to well informed about this beautiful country. I felt that the itinerary was perfect. It was hot (July) and that made cycling harder. Do read the trip notes before going, you need to be relaxed on roads with traffic and be ready to make a significant effort as the cycling is challenging. Most felt that it was harder than moderate. The support team were excellent too, helpful and kind. The food was also outstanding with many homemade meals which were copious and delicious. Such a treat! I met some superb people and much enjoyed their company. Georgia is beautiful and a few of the roads were truly spectacular in terms of scenery. I do wish that the bikes had tires more suitable for road riding as so much energy was wasted due to mountain bike tires which aren’t at all needed. I’m glad that I chose Georgia and over the moon to have had Nick as our guide.

A wonderful trip with a great group. Nick the leader was great, extremely informative both about his country but also with his detailed briefings prior to every ride. The trip was well run and a perfect blend of culture, history and enjoyable cycling. The cycling is reasonably challenging at times and a level of fitness and experience on roads with heavy traffic is needed. It is hilly with some stiff climbs made more so by the hot temperatures we experienced in July. The provided mountain bikes where OK but would be much improved with semi slick tires. Accommodation and the food in particular was memorable, the later far exceeding expectations.

Being across two countries, we had two leaders for our tour. Both were excellent, albeit in different ways. Both exhibited a fund of knowledge about their respective nations and both added greatly to the enjoyment of our travels.

The guides were fantastic. I am a slow walker and one of the guides happily accompanied me so I could enjoy the spectacular scenery. I never felt rushed. The itinerary was good and flexible.
