The Kazbegi Full-Day Group Tour with Gamarjoba Georgia Tours was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, the tour was well-organized, informative, and packed with breathtaking sights. Starting at the Avlabari Metro Station, the day unfolded seamlessly. Each stop was a highlight in itself – the serene beauty of Zhinvali Reservoir, the historic charm of Ananuri Fortress, and the stunning viewpoints at Gudauri. The guide's knowledge and passion for Georgian culture added depth to the experience, making the scenic landscapes even more memorable. The itinerary was well-paced, with plenty of time to enjoy, take photos, and explore. The inclusion of stops for shopping and dining added a local flavor that made the experience richer. The guide was attentive and ensured everyone in the group had a great time. Overall, this tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Tbilisi. It's a perfect blend of natural beauty, history, and culture. Highly recommended!

Hello! The experience was great! I’d say 4.5 out of 5. The only thing which could be done better is a stop at Gudauri for snow activities. But it’s my personal preference. As for the second person in the ticket booked, they rated it 5/5. Our guide Nina was great, appreciate her historical commentary
