At the next stop, we actually opted out of the Stalin Museum tour, as we were given some free time to explore the city.

“The tour is very interesting. I booked it mainly for the Stalin museum, but was happily surprised to really enjoy the rest of the attractions. Part of it is because of our guide Misha, he was great through the whole day, answering in detail all kinds of questions we had, as well as telling some anecdotes. All in all, it was a packed day but in my opinion worth visiting all places.”

“This trip was really so excellent! My group was small, only 4 people, which was neat. Vardzia was definitely the highlight - I could've spent another hour there easily! This site is so stunning & historically interesting and really feels unique to Georgia.

The guides and drivers went above and beyond, going out of their way to help us get back to our hotels since it was late at night…”
