Beka was very friendly, fun and shared a lot of stories around the places we visited. He's very flexible on time we spend in places, it makes it a nice day out without pressure trying to get to the different locations. He's very easy going and passionate about what he does. I really recommend his services!

Great Tour
A few twists and turns along the way as my guide had to Navigate through closed destinations, but he was flexible enough to add on to accommodate for holiday closings
Amazing trip, amazing guide!
We spent 4 days in a row with Beka (me and my girlfriend). He showed us around the most famous places in Georgia. All within a few hours by car from Tbilisi. Beka is a passionate guide, very devoted to his work. He is polite, funny and full of energy. In every place, he fed us with historical curiosities and led us to good restaurants. He made a lot of extra stops only because we ask him to do so. He was very curious about our life and we quickly got to like him. Travelling with him is pure pleasure. I don't know how he could stand such distances of driving day after day. But he did it for us. He always picked us up from the place where we stayed. At the end of our journey, he also offered to take us to the airport. We had a flight in the middle of the night so he saved us back then. He didn't even want payment for it. I recommend Beka to anyone who wants to travel in Georgia and experience something more native. I encourage you even to spend a few days in a row with Beka and discover as many fantastic places in a nice company as you can.
