Georgia Tours in June 2027

I had personally nicknamed this trip "Journey into the Unknown" because I knew absolutely nothing about Georgia before joining. This adventure was a complete success in every respect. The landscapes were magnificent, the organisation was excellent, our driver was highly professional, and our guide was outstanding throughout the trip. The hospitality, the food and the atmosphere within the group all contributed to making this an unforgettable experience.

I enjoyed a very well balanced and varied trip. We began in the city of Batumi beside the black sea, full of vibrant people and impressive contemporary architecture. This complimented the less affluent rural lifestyles where we enjoyed challenging potholed roads, accompanying stray dogs, local cuisine, good beer and wine and friendly hospitality. Our leader, Ouma, shared a lot of information about Georgian history, politics, language, wine making and more besides. He lead the walks in a calm responsible way, each walk having its own unique character; we didn't quite achieve the heights given on the itinerary due to recent snow - conversely the settled snow combined with sunshine was visually glorious. One highlight for me was the showing of the film "Dede" recently shot in Ushguli and shown in a cosy improvised barn cinema in the heart of that village. My fellow travellers were all lovely people and I would recommend this trip.

Good trip, hotels appropriate for settings, guide knowledgeable and approachable. Food demos very good and the people welcoming. Only negative was that on our trip half the group were non meat eaters which embarrassingly meant that a lot of meat was left over at the food venues.

This trip took me to some parts of Georgia that would be extremely hard to access as a solo traveller. The walking was fabulous, despite several walks being cut short by excessive snow lying much lower than typical for June. The views made up for this, as we were extremely lucky with predominantly dry weather while we were in Svaneti. The accommodation was homely and I felt lucky to experience Ushguli before it becomes more accessible and spoiled. I regret not adding a few days in Tbilisi before or after the trip. While most of the food was delicious I wouldn’t recommend this trip to vegans or people unable to eat wheat, as in the remote areas there is very little choice and bread, eggs and cheese are staples at every meal.

A wonderful chance to explore a fairly remote, fascinating and very beautiful part of Georgia. Excellent, satisfying and sometimes challenging hiking. Omar was an outstanding guide and leader. He took great pains throughout to ensure our individual comfort and safety and to introduce us to a wide range of Georgian history and culture. He was throughout patient and good humoured.

Great itinerary for Armenia and Georgia. But would like to see more of Armenia. Excellent guides in both countries. Knowledgable, informative, gd organisers, considerate. Def gd ambassadors for their countries. Hotels very comfortable , food wonderful except one in Telavi. But view and food was excellent.
