I took the 9 Tasting walking tour through historical Tbilisi with David. I've taken a lot of food tours in my day, but this ranked right up there with the best. David is a very thoughtful and attentive tour guide. I definitely got a sense that David has a passion for Georgian culture and wants to share it with visitors to his country. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning about Georgia through its culinary traditions.

Gareth_N, Feb 2024

A great experience. From the amount of food, to the different types and the wine and chacha tasting the whole experience was great. Our guide Irakli was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Worth every penny.

A great afternoon of food and exploration.

We had a lovely time and David was very knowledgeable. At every stop we learned a little more about Georgian food and culture. Great company!

Great Tour with a Great Guide

Sabastian_C, Dec 2023

The tour itself was fantastic. It's also very specific to your specific tastes, so if there's something you won't or can't eat, just let the guide know and he'll accomodate! Speaking of the guide, David was absolutely the best part of the tour. He's a great conversationalist, and very open to discussing history, politics, and everything else. Couldn't be more highly recommended! :)

A must to give you an insight.

Steven_L, Dec 2023

All of it from start to finish!! I was feeling hung over but the ChaCha was a miracle cure! You learn about the history of Tbilisi and its food. A great introduction to the city.

Best way to start your stay in Tbilisi

Matthew_W, Oct 2023

Excellent tour at the start of our first trip to Tbilisi. Come hungry and ready to try delicious authentic Georgian food, wine & cha cha while exploring the city. Our guide, Luka, was very knowledgable and incorporated historical knowledge into the tour and tasting. We explored this tour with our 4 children (11yrs to 2yrs) and had a wonderful time. Must do!

A big thanks to Luka. For anyone wanting to experience a great tour we would totally recommend this one. He provided a great insight into the history of Georgia. The tour was very generous with the food and alcohol - so do not eat before going!! We have done many tours and honestly this was outstanding with value for money. Thanks Luka you made our day and it was awesome getting to know you.

Magical tour of Tbilisi's best local foodie spots

Colin_R, Sep 2023

George was an outstanding local host! He was super friendly, kind, down-to-earth, and delightful to talk with as he introduced us to some of the very best authentically Georgian food in Tbilisi. He made sure to indulge our every curiosity about the history and the culture behind each dish, which we thoroughly appreciated. And when George told us that the dessert tasted like the very best memories of his childhood, he wasn't exaggerating... it was incredible! 11/10, absolute must-do tour while visiting Tbilisi!

I had such a great time....

We had a good time with Luca! We came hungry so we enjoyed everything that he ordered, especially the khinkali. The chacha corner was also really good!⭐️ He gave good historical context to things and the food, and even gave us info about the city’s history.

So much great food!

The food and drinks were well chosen to give us a good insight into the culture and history of Georgian food. All the food was absolutely delicious, and the wine and cha cha tasting was great as well.

Fantastic start to our trip at Georgia

Kalyani_S, Apr 2023

It was a great start to our trip to Georgia. The team was extremely accomodating .as we had ended up late for the tour because of a transit delay. I need to make special mention for Luka. He was simply excellent. He knew the lay of the land in terms of historical significance , he explained to us in great detail about the food, the people the culture and had a great sense of humour combined with an easy going nature. The walking food and drink tour was amazing. I will recommend family and friends to take this tour and to get a great start to their time in Tbilisi and Georgia. Keep up the great work and three cheers to Luca :)

Luka was our guide for the day. Luka is very friendly and knowledgeable, he provided us with ample of details on the history of food in Georgia. The food and drinks on the tour was plentiful and we visited a number of restaurants, cafe and bars. Luka was kind enough to provide recommendations too. If you're visiting Georgia for the first time, I would highly recommend starting your holiday with this tour as it gives you an idea of the kind of food to expect on your stay here. It helped us immensely in making informed decisions during our stay. THANK YOU LUKA! We enjoyed every minute of the tour with you.
