“The Tbilisi private food and wine tour was perfect for our needs. The first stop near the sulphur baths freshened us up after a late arrival to the city the night before, with a fitting portion of soup and chacha. It is good that the stops are relatively spread out, so that you get a good feeling of the city on the way. The trip was a good mixture of sight seeing, food and wine and we liked the fact that we were not rushed between places. Our guide, Captain Z was informative, friendly and easy going and fitted our group really well. A great guidWe surely recommend this tour…”
