1. We selected the tour to be in english, but the guide was explaining things both in english and in russian. The russian part would have not been an issue if he would have said the same amount on information 2. We got no information for none of the places we have visited 3. We didn t stop in all the stops (we missed the monument of friendship) 4. Half an hour delay and then we were being in a hurry in the placesAngel D

It was terrible experience, 1- The tour started one hour late. 2- at our 3rd stop the guide said it's so crowded now, we will stop in our way back, which didn't happen beacuse it was too dark already by that time which should be obvious for him. 3- Also they skipped the Gudauri ski resort with no reason, they just said, arround here is Gudauri Ski Resort, and continued the trip 4- At the Friendship Monument, the tour guide siad, we will stop in our way back beacuse weather is good now at our next stop " Gergeti Trinity Church" 5- at the Gergeti Trinity Church it was already too foggy to see anything can't even see our hands, so we couldn't get to see the church or the view, only inside the church. 6- when we are back to the Friendship Monument, it all turned to foggy too, that some of us didn't even to bother to go out to check because we couldn't see anthing too. So basically the whole trip was in the bus, even when we are out couldn't see anthing, the only places we got out where we paid money, for the lunch restaurant, which was very bad as well, bad food, no view, nothing worth the stop. Another stop for honey seller small vent, to taste and buy honey which wasn't necessary at all. I understand that the weather was not cooperating, but the tour should have start on time, we shall stick to the schedule, and the tour guide did alot of bad decisions, he keep saying i am only a guy, how i will know about the weather. But sorry you are a tour guide who have done this so many times, you should have known better. Like skipping all the non necessary stops, tell the truth about our 3rd stop that we won't be able to visit, choose a better restaurant, take the chance at the Friendship Monument when the weather was good instead of just wasting both stops.Mariana K

My trip to Kazbeg with (Emilia) our tour guide was amazing. She’s a good english speaker, so nice and friendly. She gave us a good description for each part of the trip and that was very helpful. I highly recommend her. And I will book another trip with her.
